Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a treatment last?
Please allow 1hr - 1:30hrs for your initial appointment, this allows time to discuss your personal circumstances, carry out an assessment and a treatment.
Follow up and maintenance sessions are 45 minutes - 1hr.
Baby, toddler and children sessions are often only 30 minutes, but are taken at the pace of the child to ensure they are comfortable both with me and the treatment process.
How many treatments will I need?
I recommend an initial course of 3 treatments, but no specific number is required as everyone responds differently.
In some cases, problems are resolved after the first treatment, other issues are more complex and may take longer to resolve.
While there is no need to continue if your problem has resolved, many people feel they benefit from regular maintenance - and often book an appointment every 4 - 12 weeks to keep them functioning at their best.

What shall I wear?
While people often respond better with the moves directly on skin, treatment can be carried out through light, preferably loose, clothing. E.g. leggins and a t-shirt.
Ideally no jeans or stiff fabrics.
Can I bring someone with me?
Absolutely, whatever makes you feel at ease. There is space to fit an additional person comfortably.
Under 16's must have a parent or gardian present.
Can I mix types of treatment?
It is not reccommended to mix Bowen with other therapies like massage for 7 days either side of your treatment, as it can overload the system and may hinder the effectiveness of both.
What if I miss or need to cancel my appointment?
Missed appointments or cancellations within 48 hours will usually incur a £20 fee
Do I need to lay down?
Not necessarily - while treatments are usually carried out laying down, this is adaptable to your needs - whether in a chair, on your side or even stood.
Babies and young children are free to move and play during a session. I have some toys in my treatment space but feel free to bring any items that your children like to play with.
Do you give exercises?
Yes, if appropriate.
I may prescribe or recommend exercises or stretches to compliment your treatment and continue progress at home.
Is there parking?
Yes, there is usually space across the end of our drive, and the surrounding roads are all free parking.
My clinic room, the parking and access are all at the back of the property.
