Jenny was so impressed with her very first Bowen treatment and amazed at the effectiveness of the treatment, she commenced training to become a Bowen therapist and has never looked back. Her passion is helping others. Bowen Therapy is a soft tissue therapy, restoring balance via the autonomic nervous system.  It is a dynamic holistic treatment that treats the whole person, aims to treat the cause of problems rather than the symptom.  It uses the body’s innate healing ability to deliver signals to the nervous system to specific locations and the body does the rest to start the healing process. The Bowen technique was created by the late Thomas Bowen from Geelong Australia in the 1950s.
