REVIEWS
A few reviews from my recent clients about Bowen and my work with them...
Laura Davey - Ketley
Being from a dance background, I am forever dealing with aches and pains, it comes with the territory! Traditional injury management often left me battered and bruised and was very painful, this is where Bowen is different. It is a very gentle therapy and you would initially be forgiven for wondering how on earth these tiny movements could possibly be doing anything...but it works!!
I have gone from barely being able to get out of bed in the morning after a night of back pain waking me up everytime I moved, to being able to jump out of bed pain free without the need for painkillers.
Nicola, as a therapist, is extremely knowledgeable and very empathetic. She talks you through exactly what she is doing with each and every move and makes you feel at ease from the moment you walk through the door. She makes sure that your dignity is preserved at all times, and takes her time to make sure she is thorough...you never feel like you are being rushed.
For me, it was around session five that I started to notice that my pain was subsiding... so my advice is, if you don't feel a difference straight away, stick with it, it will happen!

Nicola is an excellent therapist. A good listener, she travelled along with me on my own personal journey to identify and help resolve the issues troubling me. She performed the technique with great skill and confidence.
Specifically, longstanding pain in the hip and upper arm pain resolved significantly; with no relapse . Discomfort and pain within my jaw was completely resolved. Generally, I experienced an overwhelming sense of calmness and a release from tension after each session.
Nicola is an insightful and empathetic therapist who I would highly recommend.

Aches and Pains you can put them down to getting older, but when they stop you getting out of bed in the morning you need more than just taking additional paracetamol for back pain. This is where Nicola and the Bowen Technique came to the rescue (not that I knew what bowen was!)
After the first treatment I wondered if something so unobtrusive and gentle could do the job, how wrong I was! By the third treatment the bed issue was gone and my need for paracetamol.
Nicola continues with the treatment adapting with each new session and as I continue the looser my whole body becomes! I can only say that Bowen Treatment has made this 70 year old feel great again, thank you Nicola!

I have had the pleasure of knowing Nicola for over 20 years. When she suggested I tried The Bowen Technique to help balance my severe menopause symptoms and to balance my unhealthy work, life hours (too many hours on my feet) I trusted her judgement and was willing to give anything a go.
The initial consultation was difficult as there were so many issues for me to list and more came to light over the first few sessions. I learnt that the more information you could give, the more you would gain from the session (even if it seemed insignificant). It was by session 3 that I began to notice improvements in my symptoms. My severe aches and pains were more subdued but for me the overwhelming sense of feeling grounded, less emotional, stressed, and anxious (menopause). The new calmness was quickly noted by my husband as I handled day to day work problems with more ease. The physical improvements continued over the sessions and slowly I felt more energised and in less pain.
Don’t go into this expecting to understand how it works (unless you want to study Bowen yourself) but do go into it with an open mind and commit to at least 4 sessions to really see the results. If work gets too chaotic or the pain comes back, I know to book a top up session which realigns and balances everything.
