Meet your vagus nerve — our body’s great communicator.

It connects our brain to our heart, lungs, gut, and more — helping regulate mood, digestion, heart rate, breathing, and even our voice.

This incredible “wandering nerve” is part of our parasympathetic nervous system — the part that supports rest, repair, and balance.

Bowen Therapy invites moments of stillness that can help our nervous system shift out of stress mode and into a state of calm, as best it's able — creating space for our body to do what it does best.

It’s not just about the moves — it’s about everything we bring to the table.

Gentle touch, keen observation, deep listening, soothing presence, anatomical know-how, and endless curiosity…

All working together to support each client’s unique journey.

Breath and Bowen — both simple, gentle, and calming.

Try this 5-finger breathing brain break whenever you need to pause.

And maybe give your Bowen Therapist a call!

When your nervous system feels like spaghetti…

Sometimes a gentle pause (like Bowen) is just what you need to start untangling.

Fatigue isn’t always physical.

A wired nervous system, shallow breathing, poor sleep, or being “always on” can wear you out.

Bowen Therapy may help create space for rest — not just in the body, but in the whole system, to the best of its ability.

Rest is not laziness. It’s a biological need.

In Bowen Therapy, zoning out isn’t rude — it’s a win.

Falling asleep mid-session? Just your nervous system saying thank you.

We’ll take the Zzzs as a compliment! 😉

Local ladies! There’s a new wellness centre in Willingham; Denmark House Wellness Centre… please give it a follow.

On Monday last week I took part in the qigong class and I highly recommend it. Gentle exercise, the best way to describe qigong for those that haven’t heard of it is that it’s a mix between tai chi and yoga. Stretching the energy meridians. After the session I felt calm and nurtured. Since the session I have slept well and have felt great 🌟

The class is on tomorrow (Monday) 1.30pm-2.30pm
£13 per class
Book on the Denmark house website
https://denmarkhousewellnesscentre.simplybook.it/v2/

Join me and other highly sensitive women in these deeply supportive qi gong sessions.

✨ Tune into what your body is telling you ✨ Trust yourself to meet your own needs
✨ Feel confident and clear about how to balance body, mind and spirit

I've sorted out my own period pain (adenomyosis) and peri-menopause symptoms (brain fog, frozen shoulder) over many years with these practices, and here are a couple of other women's views 👇🏼

Testimonials -

"Highly recommend Ruth and her qigong sessions. Gentle movement, nurturing and restorative."

"I have previously tried yoga, tai chi, pilates, cranial osteopathy and physiotherapy and got to a certain point and had to give up due to pain. Practicing qigong regularly and with the option of sitting down I have started to believe that my body has the ability to exercise in a meaningful way."

Mondays at 1:30pm at or from 18th August at 5pm at (links to book in comments)

Private personalised classes also available.

Being a Bowen Therapist means trusting the process —
and the pauses.

Sometimes slowing down is the most profound care we can offer.

🎉 5 Fun Facts About the Bowen Technique 🎉
(AKA the gentle therapy with powerful results!)

1️⃣ It’s all about fascia! 👍
Bowen moves target the connective tissue (fascia) that wraps around your muscles and organs - helping to release tension, restore balance, and reboot your body.

2️⃣ No cracking, no crunching 🤗
It’s gentle, non-invasive, and you stay fully clothed - it’s what makes Bowen Therapy so unique (and relaxing!).

3️⃣ Less is more ✨
Practitioners often pause between moves to let the body respond. Those quiet moments? That’s when the magic happens.

4️⃣ It was developed by an Aussie legend.🇦🇺
Tom Bowen, the creator of the technique, was a self-taught therapist from Australia - helping thousands of people with his hands-on healing in the 1950s–80s.

5️⃣ It helps more than just sore backs. 🤕
From sports injuries to stress, headaches to hormonal balance - Bowen can support a wide range of conditions by helping the body heal itself.
