What if Bowen Therapy could change not just bodies, but entire communities?

In this inspiring session, Karrima Nortje shares the story of the JAS Foundation and its mission to make Bowen Technique accessible to underserved communities in South Africa.

Through lived experience and a pioneering pilot training program, she explores both the challenges and triumphs of expanding Bowen’s reach while preserving its integrity.

This presentation highlights the social impact of Bowen, the importance of meaningful data collection, and the transformative power of education.

It’s a heartfelt reminder that healing belongs to everyone, and that Bowen has the potential to shape communities as well as individuals.

A powerful session for practitioners who believe Bowen can make a difference beyond the clinic walls.

Our body speaks — even when we don’t.

When we're unable to say no to the demands of life, our bodies can do it for us and our internalised stress gets externalised.

Listen to your body’s whispers before they turn into screams.

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

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

It's easy to dismiss the need for regular treatments when we're feeling good.

But regular bodywork can:

💆 Reduce stress
💆 Ease muscle tension
💆 Improve circulation
💆 Enhance flexibility and range of motion
💆 Improve posture
💆 Improve sleep
💆 Boost mood
💆 Prevent injury
💆 Support the immune system
💆 Improve our quality of life

That post-Bowen feeling! 😴

Your Bowen Therapist will always encourage you to take your time and help you up.

The carotid arteries are major pathways supplying blood to the brain, travelling through a complex landscape of muscles, fascia, joints, and nerves in the neck.

When head and neck posture shifts — such as in a forward head position — it can increase muscular load and tension in surrounding tissues. Over time, this may contribute to strain, reduced movement efficiency, and increased demands on the body’s regulatory systems.

From a Bowen Therapy perspective, the focus isn’t on forcing posture correction, but on supporting balance across the whole system.

Gentle input, strategic pauses, and attention to global patterns may help the body reduce unnecessary effort and reorganise itself more efficiently.

This gentle bodywork follows a calm, intentional rhythm — from settling in to quiet pauses and check-ins.

Every step is designed to support your body’s natural ability to settle and respond, in its own time.

Rebooking is always your choice — there’s no pressure, just support.

The body has an extraordinary capacity for self-regulation and balance.

Bowen Therapy is designed to work with that innate intelligence — offering gentle input and then allowing the body time to respond.

Healing isn’t imposed.

It’s invited.

Why Your Body Trusts Bowen

Bowen isn’t just technique. It’s a conversation with the body — slow, deep, and safe.

This post was created to help other therapists explain the magic we witness every day.

💛 Feel free to share it — it might help your clients understand why this work works.

A New Year doesn’t have to be about reinvention or resolve.

It can simply be a moment to acknowledge what’s been carried — and what doesn’t need to come along.

What would you like to leave behind?

29/12/2025

However you’re spending this season — busy, quiet, or somewhere in between — you’re allowed to just be human.

Bowen Therapy is always about meeting people where they are.

26/12/2025

In a season that asks us to do more, remember this:

We can’t heal stress by pushing harder.
Rest is not a reward — it’s a requirement.

Bowen Therapy supports the nervous system to slow down and reset, as best it's able.
