Our bodies are always in motion — pulsing, flowing, communicating in ways we can’t always see.

New research shows that the gut and brain share some of the same rhythmic patterns, revealing just how connected our systems truly are.

For Bowen Therapists, this speaks to what we already sense: the body works best when its rhythms are in conversation.

Hey lovely people 💛

It feels like the perfect time to reintroduce myself. I'm Alina, the heart behind You-nique Bowen Therapy here in Bradford, and I'm so proud to finally say that I'm now a qualified Bowen Practitioner!

My journey started when I was searching for a gentle therapy to support my autistic daughter, something calming, nurturing, and kind to the nervous system. I wanted to help her feel more at ease in her body, and that’s when I discovered The Bowen Technique®.

What I found was truly special, a gentle, soothing approach that helps the body reset and rebalance in its own time.
Watching the difference it made for her, and feeling it first-hand myself, completely changed the way I understood wellbeing.

That’s why I decided to train, to share that same sense of calm, balance, and connection with others.
Throughout my training with Bowen Training UK , I've seen incredible changes, not just in others, but within myself. I've learned patience, presence, and trust in the body's natural intelligence. And that's what I want to bring to You-nique Bowen Therapy: a space where you can truly unwind, feel seen and heard, and let your body reset on every level.
So here I am, starting this new chapter, ready to welcome you into my practice in Bradford. Whether you're struggling with or simply need time to reconnect with yourself, I'd love to support you on your journey.

Remember if you're passionate about complementary therapies and thinking of learning a gentle approach to support the whole body there are new beginners training courses starting 2026 at Bowen Training UK.

That pain in your knee? It might be your back, hips, or even your feet sending the signal.
Everything in your body is connected through fascia; a web that links your muscles, joints, and even your organs.

Bowen Therapy gently resets your body's communication system, helping pain ease where it began, not just where it hurts.
Reconnect. Realign. Rebalance. Release.

Bowen Therapy - The Gentle Nudge Your Nervous System Needs

Did you know your body holds onto stress? Bowen Therapy is like sending a tiny, gentle text message to your nervous system that says: "It's okay to relax now."

We use soft, rolling moves across the skin, no deep pressure or manipulation required! These precise, light inputs prompt your body's innate ability to rebalance and release long-held tension and pain.

If you’ve been looking for a truly gentle way to unwind and promote deep, lasting calm, Bowen might be your answer.

Today I step into new beginnings as a newly qualified Bowen practitioner.

From the first move to the soft reset of mind and body, this journey has taught me that growth isn't always loud, sometimes growth is in stillness and silence.

To every person I've met, thank you for showing me how strong we can be together and helping me pave the way to my dream! To the calm that found me even during my assessment, thank you for reminding me this was never just about passing a test, it was about stepping into my purpose.

Here's to the ones who dare to reach for their dreams, follow the path, and trust the process. This is your sign to reach for your dreams and never give up.

My Bowen Training Journey - fresh from the train-
Final assessment - a new beginning.

What an experience module 7 has been! The people, the learning, the practice, the travelling and all the emotions that came with it but also unexpectedly for me, the calmness.
I am usually very anxious before an exam, thinking I am not gonna do well, I am gonna forget things and I try to prepare even last minute, this time I was calm, excited yet calm, grounded and self-confident.

Even while being assessed I feel like I've taken in so many new things, refined and deepened my knowledge and skills. I've seen once again how slowing down and waiting can make such a difference and have a bigger impact on the body.

It's a liberating and exciting feeling to go to London as a Bowen student and come back as a qualified Bowen practitioner.

Again I've seen and connected to people that will continue to impact my life even if they remain a small part of my Bowen journey.

This is not the end of my journey it's only the beginning.

Thank you to everyone that has played a role in my journey and helped pave this path of mine as a Bowen practitioner.

Thank you!❤️

Student therapist Alina is sharing her training journey on Facebook You-nique Bowen Therapy where she reflects her thoughts and observations on the wider benefits of this wonderful therapy, for herself personally as well as her 'case study' clients.

Alina began training in the Original Bowen Technique (Bowtech) in her home country of Romania and decided to start again with us from Module 1 after re-locating to the UK.

You can read her story on our website https://bowentraining.co.uk/blog/ where she describes the experience as a 'revelation'... almost like learning a totally different programme even though the moves and the manual are the same. Alina is about to take her final Module 7 assessment and we wish her well!

My Bowen Training Journey
Modules 5 & 6 – Deepening Trust & Discovery

Sharing feelings, ideas and impressions from both modules at the same time before the final assessment as both were completely new to me.

Modules 5 and 6 felt like stepping into a whole new level of understanding, a new way to look at the body. We explored many new procedures. I was intrigued how a simple procedure with less moves, has a bigger impact on the body.
Healing doesn't need to be complicated.

Each move reveals more of how the body communicates, releases, and restores balance when given the gentlest push.

It’s amazing to witness how subtle the Bowen touch can be, yet how profoundly it supports healing.

Somewhere between the moves and the pauses, that's when "the magic" happens, that's when the body starts rebalancing itself. With every new simple yet powerful procedure I’m learning to trust the process, trust my intuition, and the natural wisdom of the body.
Feeling inspired, humbled, and grateful to keep walking this path, one gentle move at a time.

Look what we found in our picture archive from 15 years ago. The then Duchess of Cornwall was visiting a mother and baby clinic in Poundbury, Dorset where instructor John Wilks explained how Bowen can be safely applied to young children.

This reminded us of our contribution to the formation of the Complementary and Natural Healthcare Council (CNHC) supported by the then Prince of Wales.

John attended many meetings of a working group set up by the prince, himself a known advocate of a complementary approach to health. After lengthy and challenging discussions a minimum core curriculum for Bowen therapy was agreed with the other participating schools. This in turn led to the CNHC being set up in 2008; today the council manages a voluntary register of complementary healthcare practitioners from 18 different disciplines including Bowen.

Have you welcomed any famous faces into your clinic? Send us a picture and we will add it to our gallery.

My Bowen Training Journey
Module 4 - Nurturing, Growth & Gentle Power

This module has been such a heart-expanding experience
Learning to support babies, children, and seated clients reminded me just how adaptable and compassionate Bowen Therapy can be.
How amazing knowing that these gentle moves can bring relief even to the tiniest bodies or to those who can't lie down comfortably.

We also explored new procedures for the ankle, TMJ, and other areas of the body, each revealing once again just how beautifully interconnected the body truly is.

The more I learn, the more I see Bowen as a language of compassion, spoken through presence, trust, and intention.

With every new thing I learn and every feedback from my case studies, I have a deeper gratitude for the simplicity and depth of this work.
