NOW OFFERING SOMATIC BODYWORK: RESET · RENEW · RESTORE DISCOVER
Rather than sustained pressure, Bowenwork uses subtle, specific movements followed by periods of stillness.
The work is quiet and unhurried, creating space to pause, rest, and notice how your body responds.
Many people notice that their experience of the work continues to unfold after the session, as they pay attention to how their body feels over the following hours and days.
A DIFFERENT KIND OF BODYWORK
Bowenwork is unlike a traditional massage
We begin with a brief conversation about how you’re feeling, what you’ve been noticing in your body, and what you’d like from your session. You don’t need to know exactly what you need — we’ll determine that together.
These pauses are an important part of the work. Each movement offers the body a subtle stimulus; the pause gives your nervous system space to receive and process that information before the next movement.
This makes Bowenwork a particularly gentle option for people who prefer less pressure or more subtle, attentive work.
I OFTEN DESCRIBE IT THIS WAY
The movement is like asking a question. The pause is where your body has time to answer.
— REBECCA SANKER, PROFESSIONAL BOWENWORK PRACTITIONER
WHAT HAPPENS DURING A SESSION
Quiet, attentive, and entirely at your pace
01
CONVERSATION
We talk about how you’re feeling, what you’re experiencing, and what you’d like to address. I then select the Bowenwork procedures for that day.
02
MOVEMENT
Small, gentle movements are made at specific areas of the body.
03
STILLNESS
Intentional pauses that may last several minutes. You simply rest — many clients become deeply relaxed or even fall asleep.
04
REST
Additional time to rest at the end before getting up and returning to your day.
Sessions are typically 45–75 minutes, depending on the procedures used and your individual needs.
WHAT CAN BOWENWORK SUPPORT?
Working with the body as a whole
Because Bowenwork works with the whole body rather than an isolated area, people seek it out for many reasons — and often when they’ve tried other approaches and are looking for something gentler or different.
Every body responds differently. Bowenwork is not intended to diagnose or treat medical conditions, and should complement — not replace — appropriate medical care.
Neck, back, shoulder, hip and other musculoskeletal discomfort
Muscle tension and movement restrictions
Headaches and jaw / TMJ concerns
Recovery following injury or repetitive strain
Stress and physical tension
Postural and movement-related concerns
A gentle sense of physical imbalance or discomfort
HOW OFTEN?
A series lets you see how your body responds over time
A series is often recommended, particularly for a longstanding concern. The spacing allows time between sessions to notice changes and support the body’s response. Your ideal frequency depends on your needs, goals, and response to each session.
3-5 Sessions in an initial series
5-10 days apart, generally
