About Us

I have been a Bowen Therapist since 2002 and absolutely love my work. What could be more fulfilling than meeting people in pain and knowing that there is usually something that I can do that will make them feel better?

I am happily married and have three grown up boys, a dog and a cat. Thankfully none of the above are allowed in my therapy room unless they are having a treatment, so I have a quiet and relaxing space to retreat from the chaos!

As well as running a thriving health and wellbeing clinic, I am a Co-Director and Senior Tutor at the College of Bowen Studies (CBS) Ltd. My teaching career began in 2015, as teaching this incredible technique to students, had always my ultimate goal. Seeing our students qualify and then excel as therapists each year, gives me a huge amount of pride and job satisfaction. Knowing that each of those therapists will go on to help literally hundreds of people in pain, is incredible and extremely humbling.

Professional Associations

I am a member of BTPA (Bowen Therapy Professional Association) and FHT (Federation of Holistic Therapists). I work to a Code of Conduct and Ethics and have been trained in identifying Medical Red Flags in my clients.

Bowen Technique for Babies and Children

I have extensive experience in working with babies and children of all ages. Parents will bring their children to me, presenting with issues such as colic, digestive issues, constipation, sleep issues, asthma, eczema, ADHD, Dyspraxia, Autism, Aspergers, hypermobility, growing pains, hormone imbalances and stress to name but a few. Children’s sessions are much shorter and are adapted to suit the child. A parent or guardian must remain with any child aged 16 or under, during the Bowen session. Young people aged between 16 and 18 may arrive unaccompanied, with written permission from their parent or guardian.

So, how did I get into all of this?

In 2002 I injured my back. I bent over (badly) to pick up my toddler. The next thing was, I had a searing pain rip through my spine, and I could not move at all. A relative arranged for a Bowen therapist to come to the house that day and give me a treatment. I was very sceptical, he hardly touched me and by the end of the treatment, I did not feel any different. The next day, however, my back had started to ease, and I was able to move more comfortably. The day after, my back pain had gone completely. I was walking around like nothing had ever happened. I was stunned and decided that if it truly was Bowen who fixed my back, then I wanted to learn how to do this "magical" therapy.

Bowen Training

I was still feeling slightly sceptical when I started my Bowen training. After the first block of training, we were instructed to gather 10 volunteers and give them 3 treatments each and so I decided to enlist the help of some good friends who I knew had some quite significant complaints, including a footballer (unable to play due to a long term knee injury) a rugby player (with a shoulder problem), a fireman (with various injuries) and a pensioner (with back pain.) All my case studies improved considerably during their treatment - including the footballer who can now ski comfortably as well as play football after just 3 treatments, almost 10 years ago.

Starting Out

When I started my Manchester clinic back in 2003, I had no idea how successful it was going to become. I now have a thriving clinic in Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk, and have incorporated a selection of additional therapies which now enable me to focus on the emotional wellbeing of my clients. These therapies complement one another perfectly and allow me to tailor my treatments to meet the needs of each individual client, with excellent results most of the time.

Tried and Tested

I have a no-nonsense approach to my work. I only use therapies that I have tried and tested for myself, and I am confident that they will work for the majority of my clients. My policy is to use whichever combinations of therapies are necessary, to get my clients well in as few sessions as possible, in many cases between 1 and 3 treatments is sufficient.
