Bowen is an amazing form of holistic bodywork! With gentle rolling movements performed over specific structures (muscles, tendons, ligaments etc.) to release adhesions and stiffness in the fascia which creates signals sent to the autonomic nervous system to help the body switch to reset and repair from the flight or flight response. The intricate messages continue their work for several days and most people start seeing results within 1-3 sessions, but many people like to return for its re-balancing and health benefits. People with chronic conditions may need lengthier
treatment.

As a student of Ballet and Pilates plus a former USA Gymnastics Coach and a respiratory therapist for 30 years- I understand breath and breathing in so many ways. From being in the delivery room helping babies take their first breath of life and helping patients with all forms of breathing struggles I have been there to support them with care and comfort. Being an athletic coach I've seen and experienced wins and loses. As a dancer and dabbling in yoga,, I have felt breathing in such beautiful ways. As an asthmatic, I can say I know what it's like to not be able to breathe. It's fitting that I am a Libra which is associated with the element Air.
I look forward to supporting you in your journey to wellness, improved health whether physical or emotional support through gentle, holistic bodywork designed to restore balance and help your body heal itself.
