“I’m a hairdresser and I also play the very physical sport of Roller Derby, both of which have contributed to varying levels of back & shoulder pain. I’d been seeing a chiropractor and having sports massages on and off for a couple of years, but nothing had really made a difference, so when I heard about Bowen, I was ready to try anything. After an extensive, consultation, and a very relaxing first treatment, I felt an immediate difference. A few weekly treatments later, the change has been really surprising. It’s made a huge difference to my well-being. ”

“I’ve now had three treatments with Louise and it’s no exaggeration to say that, for me, it’s been life-changing! I’ve suffered with neck, shoulder & jaw pain - mainly stress-related - for years. I’d wake every morning with a headache, feeling sluggish and lethargic. The effects were immediate even after the first treatment - I felt ‘lighter’, relaxed and less achy. Bowen definitely works on the whole body, not just the area causing discomfort, so I’ve noticed other unexpected benefits - I’m more flexible and can now easily touch my toes! I have no hesitation in recommending Louise as a Bowen practitioner.”

“After having pain in my knee for over 4 weeks, which left me unable to drive and carry out normal functions let alone my much loved hobbies (e.g. Aerial Hoop) I visited Louise for some Bowen therapy. Her caring manner made me feel at ease straight away and I felt really safe in her hands. Two treatments later, my knee has no pain, and I’m back to doing what I love. I am so grateful to her gentle touch, and would recommend her to anyone.”

“A friend suggested I try Bowen for my back as I’d been having pain for months. My sessions with Louise have been amazing. I love her holistic but entirely practical approach. She really listens, which might seem obvious but surprisingly few practitioners actually do it. I’m almost as good as new now and don’t have any pain. The sessions are so restorative I wish I could go every week! ”

“I really feel my two treatments with Louise helped me turn a corner. After a long period of limited mobility and soreness, the pain in my shoulder and arm gradually disappeared and I am now completely pain free. Thank you very much, Louise.”
— Clare M, Bristol
“I turned to Bowen having had a persistent knee injury for months which I was aware of at all times. I had to wear a strap for activities such as dancing, jogging and tennis, but, thanks to Louise, after just one session, I no-longer needed it. Two further treatments built on this early success, cementing my confidence in the technique. I now have regular ‘maintenance’ sessions with Louise to help keep injuries at bay and, most importantly, to enjoy the feeling of enhanced well-being, energy & restorative calm that I experience from the treatment.”

“My back had troubled me for a while, but suddenly became very painful, affecting my passion for cycling and life. X-rays showed degeneration of the spine, typical of an active 60+ year old. I tried physio & massage but they didn’t really help so I decided to try Bowen. I instantly felt at ease with Louise’s friendly, professional manner. She explained at the outset how many sessions she felt I’d need so I knew what to expect. There are few ‘quick fixes’, but my back has steadily improved and I’m now cycling 40 miles in a day without stopping. Occasional ‘top-up’ treatments help keep the problem at bay. ”
— Alison D, Henleaze, Bristol
“Having Bowen with Louise was a wonderful experience. I’d long suffered from lower back pain and all sorts of sporadic aches & pains, and being pregnant, I needed a treatment that wouldn’t be too harsh. Bowen was just what I needed - by alleviating my aches, it helped me enjoy my pregnancy and to be up for the task! Louise has a fabulous manner, she radiates calm and positivity, as well as being a great listener and communicator. I would (and have!) definitely recommend her to anyone. ”
— Lindsey G, Bristol
“I came to Louise seeking help for headaches, resulting from tension in my neck/shoulders. A friend of mine had recommended Bowen after a significant reduction in migraine pain following treatment. I found Louise very professional, the environment pleasant and the treatment itself very relaxing. In addition to relieving my headaches, a back twinge also disappeared the day after treatment. I will go back for further treatments and would recommend Louise to those interested in trying Bowen as a way of reducing muscle tension and pain.”
