WE DID IT 😃

We finally have reached the turning point

Hello Winter Solstice, you cosy little legend. From today, the light starts sneaking back in… one tiny sunbeam at a time.

The Pagans and Druids knew how to do this properly, celebrating the rebirth of the Sun with fires, feasting, evergreens, mistletoe (oooh), and a healthy dose of “right, let’s banish the darkness then.” Yule was all about honouring nature’s cycles, resting, reflecting, and trusting that even in the murk, something bright is already brewing.

So light a candle, eat something delicious, wear your fluffiest socks, and raise a mug to hope, warmth and the slow but steady wobble back towards spring.

Dark days: numbered. Light: incoming. 🌞

We’ve got this.

Big hugs,
Thrive Bowen Therapy

“Bed Gremlin Mornings”

Dark mornings, cold air, and a warm duvet that feels emotionally supportive.
Your alarm goes off… and your body responds by refusing to stretch, roll, or cooperate.

By the time you escape the bed gremlin’s grip, your back and hips can feel a bit reluctant and creaky.
A Bowen session may gently support your body in easing that morning stiffness, nothing forced, just calm, subtle work that many people find helps them move more comfortably.

If your duvet is winning more battles than you’d like, it might be time to call in backup.
The clinic is warm, welcoming, and based in Parkstone, Poole. No gremlins allowed!

“The Wind-Face Squish” 😬

You know that very British winter expression, the one where the wind hits you and suddenly your entire face folds in on itself?
Eyes half-closed… jaw clamped shut… lips attempting to retreat into your scarf…
Honestly, we could win awards for this seasonal grimace.

All that bracing can leave your jaw, neck and shoulders working far harder than they need to.
A Bowen session won’t fight the weather for you (if only!),
but many people find it can gently support the body in letting go of that “I’ve just battled a gale” tightness.

Step inside my lovely warm, calm oasis of the clinic based in Parkstone: blankets, heat, and zero wind guaranteed.
Your face can safely un-squish here ☺️

“December Bag-Lugging Olympics” 🎁 — The Short Story

Susan only popped into town for one thing.
Twenty minutes later, she was power-walking through Poole with four shopping bags, a gift bag, a bag for the gift bag… and a rogue pack of mince pies she definitely didn’t plan to buy.

By the time she reached the car, one shoulder was practically in its own postcode.

The next day, she stepped into the warm, quiet clinic in Parkstone, finally somewhere that wasn’t asking her to carry anything.
A gentle Bowen session helped her body ease out of that lopsided, festive-overloaded feeling.

She left lighter, looser… and absolutely refusing to go “just for one thing” ever again!

Bowen, the oasis of calm in the festive storm 🏝️

Pause.

As the run-up to Christmas starts to get busy, don’t forget you can escape to a little oasis of calm with me.

Bowen is gentle, festive-season friendly, and a lovely way to restore some balance when everything else feels full-on. 🎄

If you need a breather, a reset, or just a moment of warmth and quiet… I’ve got you.

People often ask me: “So… how does Bowen actually work?”

The honest answer: it’s subtle but powerful. I like to think of it as a quiet little conversation between my hands and your nervous system. Those gentle rolling moves I make aren’t random; each one is like posing a question to the body, and your nervous system responds by adjusting, releasing, and unwinding tension.

Where the moves are placed matters. Many of them are over areas rich in receptors that tell the brain what’s happening with your muscles, tension, stretch, tightness. Other moves work with the nerves involved in the “rest, digest, and repair” function, which is the opposite of the “fight, flight, or freeze” stress response we tend to live in more than we realise. When we calm that stress side down, the body shifts into recovery mode. This is why so many people feel deeply relaxed during a session and why rumbling stomachs are a common (and welcome!) soundtrack. Please never apologise, I consider it applause from your digestive system!

Here’s the magic part: pain is protective. The brain creates pain when it believes something needs guarding or restricting. If it senses danger, tension, or threat, pain goes up. If it senses safety, calm, and balance, pain goes down. So in a Bowen session, you’re safe, relaxed, touched in a way that isn’t threatening, and your nervous system gets fresh information about muscle tension that can dial down those internal “alert!” signals.

That’s multiple wins at once, safety, relaxation, recalibration, and a reset back toward healing. Bowen looks gentle from the outside, but don’t be fooled… this is subtle work doing some seriously big things behind the scenes.
