Your body doesn’t lie.

From skin to fascia, posture to hormones — it’s always giving us feedback.

Bowen Therapy encourages us to slow down, listen, and work with the body’s design.

Bowen Therapy is a holistic approach to healing that goes beyond treating isolated symptoms. It recognizes the interconnectedness of the mind, body, and spir...

The Vagus nerve — known as the wandering nerve — travels from the brain through the body, connecting with the heart, lungs, gut, and more.

Because it touches so many systems, what happens in the Vagus nerve can impact the whole body.

When the Vagus nerve isn’t working well, it can contribute to issues like poor digestion, sleep disorders, hormonal imbalances, difficulty regulating heart rate, challenges with stress and mood, and more.

Therapies like Bowen Therapy may support and stimulate the Vagus nerve for a healthier, more balanced you.

When you care for your Vagus nerve, you support your whole self.

I used Bowenwork on my eldest instead of having his "tongue tie" snipped

The cranial nerves — a delicate network connecting brain and body.

In Bowen Therapy, we always keep the nervous system in mind.

I had an AMAZING time at the Facial Research Congress in New Orleans this past week.

I heard from some of the top researchers in fascial studies including Robert Schleip, Carla and Antonio Stecco, John Sharkey, Stephen Porges, Gil Headley, and so many more.

I learned about modalities that are being used to help people take back control of their bodies and lives.

I met inspiring academics and clinicians from around the world. Professors, doctors, physical therapists, movement specialists, sports medicine clinicians, and body workers coming together with a shared passion for fascia.

The Facial Research Society is committed to increasing awareness of fascia's importance in body function, moving forward research, and supporting the ways in which clinicians improve quality of life for their patients and clients.

Lastly, I connected with one of my favorite Bowenwork instructors, Sandra Gustafson, whomever I've followed since my introduction to the modality more than 15 years ago. She, in turn, introduced me to Chris Reed, part of Bowen Therapist Support Network and prior president of the Australian Bowenwork Association. I cannot wait to collaborate with these two and see them again at the next Fascia Research Congress in 2028!!

So amazing!!

🚀 Promising Breakthrough in Fascia Research! 🧬✨

A research team in Virginia, USA has developed a revolutionary microscopic imaging technique that unveils the stunning architecture of the extracellular matrix of fascia like never before! 🔬👀

I can’t help but think that legendary matrix pioneers Alfred Pischinger and Hartmut Heine would have been just as thrilled as I am! 🤩 Can’t wait to see what groundbreaking insights this cutting-edge tool will reveal in the coming years—how the ECM adapts to mechanical forces, biochemical shifts, and other biological influences.

One of the (many!) beauties of Bowen Therapy is that it is so portable.

You can work with a person lying on a massage table, and you can work equally well with someone lying across the tailgate of a ute, on a bush walk, or across the end of a double bed.

You can even work on someone sitting next to you on a plane, or at a table in a restaurant, or standing in a department store.

Yes! I hope to finish my instructor training some day!

“Any modality as effective as Bowen should be more widely used and distributed.”

Bowenwork stimulates piezoelectric activity throughout the body. That's why clients feel so many reactions often far away from where the moves are performed.

Your body is not just a biomechanical machine. It’s an electrical symphony, tuned and powered by movement itself. And at the heart of this symphony is your fascia—a living, intelligent network of connective tissue that wraps every cell, muscle, organ, and nerve.

Fascia is made of tropocollagen, a triple-helix protein that forms a liquid crystal matrix. This matrix is piezoelectric—meaning it generates electrical current when it’s compressed, stretched, or moved.

Every step.
Every breath.
Every subtle pressure sends signals through this matrix.

These signals travel along collagen nanotubules, acting like fiber-optic cables, transmitting quantum-level information across the body at astonishing speeds. They help regulate repair, perception, coordination, and even emotional tone.

This is why movement is medicine.

It doesn’t just build strength—it activates the body’s regenerative field.
It doesn’t just improve circulation—it charges the fascia with current.

In stillness, the system can stagnate.
In mindful motion, the system comes alive.

This isn’t speculation.
This is measurable.
It’s how acupuncture works.
It’s why physical therapy is effective.
It’s why breathwork, somatic practices, and movement-based healing modalities produce such deep results.

You are not separate from the field.
You are not static.
You are a dynamic, self-healing matrix of light, pressure, water, and frequency.

Your body listens to how you move.
Your fascia speaks in electric code.
And regeneration is the response to coherent, conscious motion.

Move with awareness.
Charge the grid.
The current of life is always flowing.
