About your practitioner

Hi, I’m Mariann. I first got interested in the Bowen technique in 2004 when I was receiving Bowen treatment for a painful shoulder, which I had acquired through working long hours at my desk with my computer. It had been getting steadily worse and was beginning to impact on my ability to do my job properly, as well as affecting my home life too. I seemed to be in constant pain, all the time. I had tried many different therapies but nothing seemed to provide any long lasting relief. I read about a then little known technique, called Bowen, and with nothing left to lose decided to give it a try. The treatment was so successful, that after three sessions I felt 10 years younger! At last I had found the treatment I had been searching for.

I had always had an interest in complementary therapies from a young age, but it wasn't until I started feeling a lot of pain every day, that I began to seriously consider a new line of work. Bowen just seemed to fit, and I felt like I had found my calling in life - from that moment I decided to become a Bowen practitioner. I immersed myself in years of study and practice, gaining my Bowen practitioner certificate from The Bowen Association UK, the European arm of Bowtech - (Bowen Therapy Academy of Australia - BTAA) in 2008.

I am committed to taking my study further and since qualifying have attended numerous courses such as:

• perfecting technique with Oswald and Elaine Rentsch (two of the foremost Bowen experts in the world)
• how to apply the Bowen technique so that it may help to enhance the performance of sports people
• how to approach the treatment of stroke* victims and the immobile*
• how to apply the Bowen technique to clients suffering from Chronic Fatigue Syndrome* (CFS/Burnout– CFS)

I have also studied the stress lines that run through the body based on Tom Myers’ work, and postural alignments based on Judith Aston’s work.

Finally, how would I describe the Bowen technique with one sentence? The Bowen technique is a gentle soft tissue release that reminds the body of healthier arrangements.

* Bowen cannot cure these ailments but can aid the comfort of the client.
