What is Bowen Therapy?
Bowen Therapy is a bodywork modality that aims to impact the connective tissue of the body - fascia - through gentle manipulations in specific sequences.
Fascia is the blueprint of the body, interpenetrating and surrounding all muscles, organs, ligaments, and nerves - it is what holds us together and connects our body to every other part.
Through manipulations of the fascia, Bowen Therapy works on a cellular level to reset nerve pathways, encourage blood and lymphatic flow, stabalise muscles and ligaments, and support balance in an animals overall body.

Bowen Therapy, Pets and Pals or Reactivity Retraining?
Bowen Therapy is ideal for your animal if they are suffering with physiological issues requiring bodywork support. Bowen can also work wonderfully for behavioural issues in impacting the nervous systems responsible for undesired behaviours.
Pets & Pals Healing provides an opportunity for you to connect with your animal on a deeper level, we can work through physiologoical and behavioural concerns of your animal, but we also investigate your own healing needs in relation to them implementing both inuitive and integrative techniques.
Reactivity Retraining is specifically for those who are working with a reactive dog (including fear reactivity towards humans or other dogs, possession issues, protective tendencies, etc) to experience a personalised plan to support owners and their dogs to learn suitable behaviours in a gentle and supportive way. Bowen therapy is a part of this training plan specifically impacting nerve responses.
