🌿 Why does Bowen Therapy have 2-minute pauses? 🌿

These pauses aren’t “breaks” — they’re actually one of the most important parts of the treatment.

🧠 Your body needs time to respond to the gentle Bowen moves, which send signals to the brain.

During the pause, your nervous system begins to process those signals, recognise where the body needs to realign and release tension, and shift move back toward balance.

To find out more, take a listen to Bowen instructor Jacqui Hoitingh’s podcast. 🎧✨ https://open.spotify.com/episode/49c5VwmIrkbuGeCSv4K7Sx?si=NqtnhOcnTFGbnay6LGUwsA

In Bowen Therapy, the pause is part of the healing. 🌱

Do you ever find it tricky to take a deep, easy breath when you’re feeling stressed or tense?

Shallow breathing keeps the body on high alert — and when the air at the bottom of your lungs isn’t refreshed, it can even go a little stale. 🌬️

That’s where Bowen Therapy comes in. 💆‍♀️✨
With gentle moves that work on the muscles, fascia, and nervous system, Bowen helps release tension around the chest, ribs, and diaphragm — the key players in breathing well.

The difference? Your breath flows more freely, your body feels calmer, and your mind finally gets that reset it’s been waiting for. 🌿

Ready to breathe easier? 💚

🔥 Struggling with sciatica pain? 🔥

That sharp, shooting pain down the leg can make everyday life feel impossible.

Sciatica isn’t just “back pain” — it happens when the sciatic nerve, the longest nerve in the body, becomes irritated or compressed. This can cause sharp, burning, or shooting pain that radiates from the lower back through the buttock and down the leg. Some people also feel tingling, weakness, or numbness.

The good news? Many people find relief with Bowen Therapy. This gentle, non-invasive technique works with the body’s fascia, muscles, and nervous system to release tension, improve alignment, and ease pressure on the nerve.

🌸 If sciatica has been holding you back, Bowen Therapy could be the reset you’ve been looking for. 🌿

💧 Why water and Bowen Therapy are your body’s best friends 💧

As we age, our muscles can become “sticky” – less supple, more prone to tension, and slower to recover. That’s where Bowen therapy and hydration make a powerful team.

🌿 Bowen therapy releases tension, increases blood supply to nerve endings, and improves lymph movement around the body.

🚰 These systems are entirely reliant on sufficient fluid — without it, they can’t function at their best.

Water hydrates your cells so your fascia network can glide and flow more easily, locking in the benefits of your session;
• Keeps muscles supple – helps prevent that sticky, stiff feeling.
• Eases leg cramps – hydrated muscles are happy muscles.
• Aids digestion – water supports smoother nutrient absorption.
• Activates internal organs – hydration keeps every system running efficiently.

💙 After Bowen therapy, drinking enough water is like giving your body the “fuel” it needs to lock in the benefits.

🌿 Living with CFS since 2011 | How Bowen Therapy changed my journey 🌿

Living with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) since 2011 has been a rollercoaster—physically, emotionally, and mentally. The constant exhaustion, brain fog, aches, and invisible battles have often made everyday life feel like a mountain to climb.

But something shifted when I discovered Bowen Therapy.

This gentle, non-invasive bodywork helped me reconnect with my body’s ability to reset, rebalance, and heal. I was skeptical at first—how could such light touch make a difference? But over time, I noticed improvements in my energy, sleep, and overall well-being.

💚 Bowen doesn’t claim to be a cure—but for me, it’s been a powerful support on my healing path.
💚 It’s gentle enough for those of us with hypersensitive systems.
💚 And most importantly, it gave me hope again.

If you’re living with CFS or supporting someone who is, know that you’re not alone—and that there are options out there that may help your body find ease again.

🌿 Do you ever notice how stress sticks around, even when you’re finally trying to relax? 🌿

That’s because stress doesn’t just live in your mind — it settles into your body.

Your nervous system holds onto patterns from past stress, like tension in your shoulders, a clenched jaw, or shallow breathing. Even when the stressful moment is over, your body might still be on high alert.

Bowen Therapy gently communicates with your nervous system, helping it shift out of “fight or flight” and into a state of rest and repair.

It’s like giving your body permission to finally let go — safely and naturally.
