Receiving a Session

During the session, the movements are applied in a series of patterns. Once a series of moves are performed there is a pause. These pauses also afford the client a “personal space” so as to achieve energetic realignment without interference, and enter a profound relaxation.

​

This deeply relaxed state acts upon the body’s autonomic nervous system, which creates homeostasis at the cellular level. Because it addresses the body as a whole, Bowenwork treats beyond the presented symptom and makes physical, chemical, emotional and mental adjustments. Through this precise resetting of the autonomic nervous system, the individual’s body is freed to find its own natural balance.

​

Sessions usually last 1 hour. Treatments are often given to more than one client at a time, due to the required pauses between sets of moves. It is important to schedule a second visit one week later, as two visits are necessary to lay the foundation of the work in the body. At that point, the practitioner and the client can assess the responses to the work, and decide together if further work would be helpful.
