Hello Bowen Therapy!
Fascia. It's a word we've heard, and an organ many don't know much about.
Organ?? Really?
Well, perhaps. Fascia as its own area of research is still quite new, so there’s still some discussion around a universally agreed upon definition.
In biology, an organ is a group of tissues within a living organism that performs a specific function. Applying this definition to Fascia, it, along with the skin, could be thought of as one of the two largest organs of the body. Pretty amazing, right?
Fascia is a strong, stretchy layer of soft tissue that wraps around and connects through, and to, every part of your body, from bones to skin. It's essential for movement, healing and protection.
When our bodies aren't functioning as they should, Fascia plays a key role in restoring normal function. That's where Bowen Therapy comes in.
During treatment, you'll wear light, comfortable clothing; you'll only need to remove your shoes.
We'll use gentle yet purposeful movements on areas of your body where Fascia lines cross, helping to restore balance and promote change.

Chronic conditions
Acute injury
Plantar Fasciitis

Hello!
Ginger Harper - Bowen Therapist
Hello! My name’s Ginger. I’m a Bowen Therapist, Visual Artist and curious human who loves helping people reconnect with their bodies.
I've been a youth worker and a disability support worker. I've worked in retail and in airports. I have a creative arts practice. I’ve tried many things to find my ‘perfect fit’
I came to Bowen Therapy like many do, through searching for something to help my chronically aching shoulder. Bowen was so effective for me (and intriguingly mysterious!) that studying it myself to find out the how? and the why? felt like a natural next step.
Today, sharing what I’ve learned (and continue to learn) with others has become one of my life’s passions.
Bowen Therapy has taught me to throw out the notion of ‘no pain, no gain’ and replace it with gentle curiosity, allowing the body to speak for itself when repair is needed.
My work blends hands-on bodywork with compassionate, thoughtful approaches to healing, especially for people navigating pain that doesn’t always make sense or fit neatly into words.
When visiting my clinic, you’ll enter through my art studio and into the clinic space, where you’ll be cocooned in a relaxed and welcoming vibe that’s safe for you to breathe out and repair in.
My hope is that Bowen offers your body a gentle platform to express its stories through. I’d love to have a chat to see if it’s something right for you!
Your First Treatment What to Expect
Pre-Session Advice
Water is a crucial component of Bowen Therapy. Please stay well hydrated in the days leading up to your appointment. If you drink coffee, black tea, herbal tea, juice, or soft drink that’s fine, but keep in mind that fascia LOVES water and does its best work for you when it’s hydrated.
Bowen is a subtle therapy. Therefore, we ask that you rest from any other treatment you usually undertake for five to seven days prior to, and five to seven days after, your Bowen session. This is by no means a comment on the skills or efficacy of any other practitioner or therapy, but merely a clinical precaution in order not to create confusion for all concerned parties. There are many wonderfully beneficial modalities; To assess which is the best for you and your body, it makes sense to give the therapy you’re receiving space and time to do its work. Many people have found that a rotation of supporting treatments really helps.
There’s no need to give up any treatment you’re already recieving, but just to please consider your existing treatment schedule when booking your appointment. If in doubt, give us a call.
Clothing
Typically, the only clothing you need to remove for Bowen Therapy is your shoes. The work can be carried out through light, loose clothing such as leggings, shorts, T-shirts and so forth. Please do not wear clothing of thicker or slippery fabrics such as denim, heavy linen, Lycra, or satin unless you are happy to remove these for treatment.
Heating and cooling to suit are used in the clinic. We also have soft blankets on hand for use in the colder months.
Medication/Health History
Bowen Therapy is a non-prescriptive modality that, rather than treating individual symptoms, takes a global approach to treat you as a person. During your initial appointment, we’ll talk about your goals for treatment and what brought you in to see us.
Bowen is safe for everyone, but there are certain circumstances where a treatment may be modified to suit your individual needs. As part of the consultation process, we ask you to provide a list of any medications you’re on (including over-the-counter preparations), together with a health history, including in particular any surgery or major illnesses/incidents that you have experienced, even if you think it isn’t relevant to the current issue. It can be surprising the long lasting impacts of seemingly unrelated incidents on the body.
All of this enables us to provide you with the safest and most comprehensive treatment we can.
