Sign up to see if Bowenwork is right for you.

In this class, you will learn to apply specific touch therapy techniques to different parts of the body so you can help friends, family or clients with a range of symptoms. Bowenwork is easy to learn and gentle on the people who receive it. Participants will practice on each other to learn ways to:

• Ease breathing difficulties
• Relieve muscle tension, joint pain, or stiffness
• Ease heartburn, reflux and other digestive complaints
• Relieve neck, back, and knee pain
• Address injuries

Class cost is $115 (includes sales tax). Class fee includes a printed, illustrated manual. Participants will practice on each other. Bowenwork will be performed through clothing. No prior experience with Bowenwork or other touch therapy is required.

Professionals in massage and other manual therapies will receive 4 CE credits, approved by NCBTMB. Bowenwork is a stand alone technique that is most often practiced professionally by occupational therapists, massage therapists, physical therapists, naturopaths, and nurse practitioners, among others.

This class is a must for anyone interested in bodywork as a profession or just to share with family and friends. Game changer!

This class will change your life. It will give you easy and actionable skills that will help you and your community and/or practice for the rest of your life. I cannot recommend taking this class enough. The amount of amazing effects everyone in the class experienced just from our first times doing it was incredible to witness.
Bowenwork is something you will never regret adding to your toolbox of skills.
