Bowen Therapy Leeds || We Are Wellness

When we experience stress, certain emotions, traumas, physical traumas, etc the body contracts
and holds a muscle or several muscle spasms in certain areas.
This in turn will generate certain compensation patterns in the body and most of the times, its these
compensation patterns that trigger the pain symptoms.
Using a holistic assessment method, I will discover the initial source of the issues (at least the
physical one) and by applying bowen movements in those areas and muscles, the body will regain
balance.
This balance can be felt in the physical, emotional and mental levels since the body is intrinsically a
holistic organism.
According to Chinese Medicine more than 80% of health issues or unbalances have emotional roots.
Most of the Bowen moves are actually realized on acupuncture meridian points which means any
bowen movement works also on the energetic body, always towards balance.
Another great aspect of Bowen is that it is deeply relaxing due to its effects on the autonomic
nervous system (mainly parasympathetic) and there are more and more studies coming out that
show a very clear correlation between stress and disease, relaxation and health and wellbeing.
In this way by relaxing the body deeply we bring it into a regeneration/reset mode which
accelerates the healing and recovery process.

Who is this for?
If you are looking to release trapped trauma, stress, emotions to gain balance within your body.

The body already heals and regenerates all the time, the Bowen just boosts this innate ability, since
it releases the trapped tension that has slowed down/stopped the natural process.
One more interesting aspect of Bowen is related to it’s effects on the memory of the cells.
There’s coming out more evidence that the body does keep the score, which means that each
trauma either physical or emotional gets store in the body cells.
The Bowen releases it so that you can live more freely and you will notice your life opening up and
you will see yourself having, perhaps, the motivation or courage to follow long lost dreams, to
change habits that don’t serve you anymore, or to start creating healthy boundaries.
The traumas keep us trapped in the past and the Bowen will help you release and heal it so you can
move forward.
Sounds quite a bold statement and I can’t promise it will be your case, but after years of
observation, I glad to say that it is quite common and real.

And the beauty of it is that the process happens very organically and harmoniously, many times
without you even noticing it until someone around you will notice it or until you share it with me.

The treatment it self consists of gentle moves performed with the fingers or thumbs, on
very specific locations on the body directly on top of thin clothes. Every now and then I
perform some reassessment to confirm the regain of balance
