💖 Give the Gift of Relaxation This Valentine’s Day 💖

Valentine’s Day isn’t just about flowers and chocolates… it’s about showing someone you love just how much they mean to you.

This year, why not give a gift that truly nurtures them from the inside out? 🌿✨

Bowen Therapy is a gentle, non-invasive treatment designed to help the body reset, rebalance and heal. It can support relief from stress, muscle tension, headaches, back pain, poor sleep and so much more — all while promoting deep relaxation.

Imagine your loved one:
💆‍♀️ Feeling calm and completely relaxed
💗 Letting go of built-up stress and tension
🌙 Sleeping more deeply
🌸 Walking away feeling lighter and refreshed

It’s more than a treatment — it’s time out, self-care, and a reminder that their wellbeing matters.

If you’re looking for a meaningful, thoughtful Valentine’s gift this year, Bowen Therapy vouchers are available.

Because nothing says “I love you” like the gift of health and relaxation. 💕

Message me to find out more or to purchase a voucher.

So many clients are surprised to discover that Bowen Technique is made up of gentle, precise moves - no cracking, no force, no pain.

It’s not physiotherapy, and it’s nothing like seeing a chiropractor. Sometimes the most powerful work happens in the softest way.

Intrigued to know more, or maybe you won like to learn the Bowen Technique yourself?
Sign up to our one day Introductory workshop where you will learn enough to go home and practice on friends and family!

Thousands of breaths a day (over 7 litres of air every minute).

One nervous system.

Bowen Therapy supports the body behind every breath.

✨ Bowen Therapy & Peri/Menopause Support ✨
At The Slacken Shack, we understand that peri-menopause and menopause can feel like a constant balancing act — physically, emotionally, and hormonally.

Bowen Therapy is a gentle, non-invasive treatment that works with your nervous system to encourage deep relaxation and balance. Many women find it helps ease symptoms such as hot flushes, sleep disturbances, mood changes, fatigue, and tension, while supporting the body’s natural ability to regulate hormones.

If you’re feeling out of sync and craving a calmer, more supported transition, Bowen Therapy may be a nurturing addition to your self-care.

💛 Gentle
💛 Restorative
💛 Tailored to you

Bowen Therapy & Respiratory Support

Bowen Therapy does not cure respiratory conditions, but it can help manage symptoms and support breathing comfort when used alongside medical care.

This gentle, non-invasive therapy helps the body relax, easing tension in the chest, diaphragm, neck, and shoulders — areas essential for breathing. By calming the nervous system, Bowen Therapy may help encourage deeper, easier breathing and reduce stress, which can worsen respiratory symptoms.

Bowen Therapy works best as a complementary therapy, supporting the body’s natural balance and overall wellbeing.

✨ Gentle support for easier breathing

Fast and hard pressure ≠ faster healing response in the body.

Bowen Therapy is gentle on bodies, for both practitioners and clients.

Raynaud’s is a condition where the blood vessels in the fingers and toes react too strongly to cold or stress, causing them to narrow. This can lead to sudden colour changes (white, blue, then red), along with numbness, tingling, or pain. Episodes can last minutes to hours and can make everyday activities surprisingly uncomfortable.

February is Raynaud’s Awareness Month 💙
�If your hands know all too well what that sudden cold, numb feeling is like, you’re not alone.� Bowen may help ease some of the symptoms by supporting circulation, reducing stress in the body, and encouraging overall balance.
Small moves, big relief.

�Here’s to warmer hands and calmer days. ☀️
Do you suffer with Raynauds? Have you tried Bowen to help your symptoms?

Don't like the thought of removing your clothes?

Bowen Therapy can be done through light, loose clothing.

The gentle nature of Bowen Therapy means that direct skin contact is not always necessary for it to be effective.

We are trained to work with clients who are fully clothed, making it a comfortable and convenient option for those who prefer to remain dressed during the session.
