Bowen Therapy, the gentle body therapy;
So…… what is it, and what can it help you with?? 🤔
It works on your connective tissue and your nervous system, and in doing so, it helps reduce plain, increase range of motion and flexibility.

It can also be supportive when there is hormonal imbalance or burnout.
It seems to be really useful for migraines, headaches, and vertigo.
For babies and children, it can work wonders on reflux, unsettledness, and hyperactivity, to name but a few.

Bowen is gentle, it can be given through light clothing, it does not manipulate, and it is very well tolerated by newborns right up to the elderly.
Have a look at this 5-minute video, as it explains everything you need to know.
I offer Bowen Therapy from my Naturopathic clinic and am happy to discuss your specific needs if you are interested in trying Bowen Therapy for yourself.

Tomi's programme consists of Liszt's Rhapsody followed by the second movement from Beethoven's Sonata, Pathetique and lastly Chopin's Ballade No.1 in G minor - a very exciting programme.
The performance will be videoed as part of his performance for scholarships exams and is also in preparation for the national piano concerto competition in Christchurch at the end of the year.
