Gentle therapies that relax and restore
Bowenwork Therapy
Bowenwork restores balance and promotes well-being through gentle manipulation of key structural points on the body. Every set of moves is paired with a rest period which informs the parasympathetic nervous system to reset and repair.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Bowenwork therapy?
Bowenwork is a gentle, hands-on therapy that uses specific rolling motions across muscles, tendons, and fascia. These targeted movements signal your nervous system to shift into repair mode, helping your body reset dysfunctional tension patterns and improve posture.
Here's what makes it unique: after each brief movement, there's a pause. This gives your body time to respond and begin its natural healing process. It's like hitting a reset button for areas that have been stuck in stress or trauma patterns.
How long is a session?
Sessions last about an hour on a massage table, allowing time for the body to integrate each move.
What benefits can I expect from Bowenwork?
Bowenwork promotes relaxation, reduces pain, improves mobility, and supports the parasympathetic nervous system for overall health.
Like any therapeutic modality, everyone responds differently. For chronic or complex conditions, you'll likely need multiple sessions to see significant results. However, many people find that Bowenwork not only addresses physical symptoms but also supports mental and spiritual well-being.
This gentle approach fosters meaningful and lasting change.

What Can Bowenwork Help With?
Musculoskeletal issues
Chronic pain
Overall wellness and relaxation
The beauty of Bowenwork is that it works with your body's innate healing abilities rather than forcing change. Your body's response can continue for several days after a session as it integrates the work.
Bowenwork originated in Australia. Tom Bowen (1916-1982) pioneered the technique and his work was widely practiced across Australia then adopted in the 90s in the UK and Europe. Because of it's amazing effectivness, Bowenwork has spread across the globe and in some places is imbedded as regular practice in hospitals.

I think I just had an out of body experience!!
Susan C. - Bozeman
Barb has healing hands. I have experienced at least a dozen sessions with her and fall into a deep relaxation every time, noticing how it can help my body self-regulate, regenerate and rest much better for days following each appointment. Barb is attentive to my needs, asking questions about my body before we begin, and checks in throughout the session to make sure I am completely comfortable. I highly recommend this alternative form of healing!

I express my strongest recommendation for Barb as a Bowen therapist. Originally, I sought her expertise to address a specific muscle problem in my shoulder. The impact of her treatments far exceeded my initial expectations.
In just a few sessions, Barb's skillful application of the Bowen technique brought about not only significant improvement in my shoulder issue, but also provided unexpected relief from ongoing problems I'd been battling for far too long. The treatments helped to alleviate chronic low back pain, persistent neck tightness, and even the frequent headaches I attributed to muscle tension.
Barb's approach is truly impressive. Her gentle yet effective touch, combined with her keen understanding of the body's interconnectedness, allowed her to identify and address the root causes of my various ailments. I was amazed at how her precise movements on seemingly unrelated points on my body could elicit such widespread positive effects.
Beyond her technical expertise, Barb possesses a warm and caring presence that puts you at ease immediately. She takes the time to listen carefully to your concerns and makes her treatments to fit your specific needs. I always felt confident and comfortable in her hands, leaving each session feeling lighter and more relaxed.
In conclusion, I cannot recommend Barb highly enough. Her skills, knowledge, and compassion make her an exceptional Bowen therapist. If you are seeking relief from pain, improved mobility, or simply a deeper sense of well-being, I urge you to experience the benefits of her remarkable work.
