Why rhythm is so important during a Bowen treatment, not just in the way we work with our hands but the way we move around the room, the way we speak … it all helps to nurture a sense of calm, allowing the body to feel safe and start to initiate a healing response.

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.

Do you know that you have a holistic therapy business right here in your local community?

📍 Appointments available in Gartocharn and Alexandria.

At the core of what I do is Bowen Therapy - a gentle, hands-on technique that supports the body’s natural healing process. Whether you’re managing pain, stress or simply looking to feel more balanced, the Bowen Technique offers a powerful yet non-invasive way to restore wellbeing.

It can be particularly effective for:

* Chronic Pain (back, neck, shoulder, migraines & more)
* Sports Injuries & Injury Prevention
* Stress Management

I also offer massage therapies, tailored to ease tension, improve mobility and support recovery.

In addition, I offer wellbeing workshops for local groups - creating space to pause, breathe and reconnect with your wellbeing in a supportive environment, as well as running One Day Introduction to Bowen Therapy Workshops - ideal for anyone thinking about training in holistic therapies or who would like to gain the practical skills to help friends and family.

If you are curious about how I might be able to help you, would like to book a treatment or are part of a group that might benefit from a workshop, I’d love to hear from you.

😮‍💨 Life’s little stresses have a way of piling up…
The desk posture. The endless to-do list. The “just one more thing” that tips your shoulders into knots.

The Bowen Technique is a gentle reset for body and mind:
✨ Releases tension in muscles and fascia
✨ Calms the nervous system
✨ Supports better sleep and relaxation
✨ Helps you feel lighter, looser, and more you

Because everyday stresses don’t have to become everyday pains. 🌿

Anyone who knows me personally will know that I don’t particularly enjoy being in the spotlight but today, an image shared by College of Bowen Studies made me pause and reflect on how far I’ve come. It reminded me of what helped me move through my fear of public speaking in order to share the benefits of Bowen.

Bowen is a technique that has not only supported my health and wellbeing but also shaped my professional path and it all began with curiosity! Nearly ten years on, I never imagined I’d be here - sharing what I’ve learned, supporting others and teaching something that once felt so unfamiliar.

Along the way, I’ve been lucky to be guided by practitioners and teachers rooted in holistic therapies, whose integrity and authenticity deeply influenced me. Their belief in me, especially at times when I doubted myself, gave me the spark I needed and helped me realise that I already had the three ingredients that I needed for growth: curiosity, interest and support.

Now, I feel a strong calling to share what I’ve learned — not just to support others in their own wellbeing journey, but to encourage personal and professional growth as well.

To anyone just starting out: you don’t need to have it all figured out. You just need to start and I’m here to support you, just as others have supported me.

This is the lovely Sally who is still excited to be part of CBS, eager to introduce more individuals to Bowen, a therapy that not only shaped her career but also enriched her life profoundly! 😀

We are very lucky to have Sally on our team. Read the caption to find out more about Sally...

I recently completed Fascia Bowen training (for the second time!) with Jo Wortley and Colin
Murray .bowen — and honestly, I couldn’t recommend it more highly.

Even though I had done the course before, I have found Fascia Bowen to be such valuable work that I chose to
revisit it a year later to refine my technique and deepen my understanding.

Jo and Colin create a
relaxed, supportive learning space and their teaching style is clear, steady and approachable. I left
with renewed confidence, fresh insights and even more enthusiasm for the work I do and look
forward to integrating this into my practice.

🌿 With all that inspiration, I’m now preparing to host my next
One Day Introduction to Bowen Therapy Workshop

📍 , Alexandria, West Dunbartonshire

📅 Saturday 1st November, 10am - 5pm

Where I hope to educate, inspire and support anyone curious about Bowen therapy — no prior bodywork experience required

Subtle yet powerful, the beauty of Bowen is in its gentle approach …

A great weekend watching these students progress successfully through their Module 1 training with Glasgow Bowen Clinic at College of Bowen Studies.

All students on this module had previously attended a CBS One Day Intro To Bowen which had given them the confidence to further their learning and embark on their full Bowen Practitioner training.

Whilst not a prerequisite, attending a One Day Intro is a great way to find out more about the technique if considering a change in career or adding a new skill to your existing practice. It is also a great opportunity to gain practical skills to help improve the wellbeing of friends and family.

My next One Day Introduction to Bowen is at Green Tree Remedies in Alexandria, West Dunbartonshire on Saturday 1st November.
