As a general rule, the longer the problem has been there, the longer it will take to resolve and change the body’s patterns to feel proper relief.

Typically, new clients who come for Bowen Therapy for the first time will have had their problem for a while, and will have built up chronic compensatory patterns (and compensatory patterns for those compensatory patterns). Usually the second treatment will give a better indication of what is happening in the body.

It could take a few sessions before feeling much difference, and numerous sessions to get close to resolution. I recommend client give the therapy at least 3 treatments to get a feel for whether we can achieve long term resolution.

Bowen Therapy prompts the body to change and adjust for a few days after treatment. After a first treatment, these days can feel achy as the body adjusts.

Optimal follow-up treatments are about a week apart. This allows the body to adjust, but catch the body’s compensatory patterns before they return. A follow up about a week after a first treatment really is critical.

Once the body is starting to hold, then the time between treatments starts to be extended.

Some clients like to have maintenance sessions, every month or two. Many don’t always feel like their body is too “out of whack” until they get off the table and realise how great they feel again. It’s a little like the “frog in the pot” analogy, getting used to something not quite right as being normal. On the flipside, I have a number of clients who feel like they’re out, and make an appointment before things get too bad. The body has great muscle memory once it knows what “good shape” is, and a single treatment is usually enough to prompt a return.

Loose, light clothing is best.  I’ll want to feel what’s going on, be able to make gentle moves on you, and move some limbs about.

Jeans are a bit thick, and the “skins” style of yoga pants tend to be slippery.

Stretchy track pants and a tshirt are great (even bring your pyjama pants !)

Bowen Therapy is likely to be different to other treatments you’ve had in the past. Click here to read what happens in a Bowen Therapy treatment.

• Drink plenty of water. 
• Stay mobile – light walks or yoga will help your body.
• Skip heavy gym work outs, weights sessions or longer/faster runs for a few days while your body is settling. 
• Avoid extremes of hot or cold, such a scalding-hot showers or ice packs.
• Don’t go get a massage – let the body finish it’s work, without intervention.

From September 2025, each treatment for adults costs $120, with the option of a pre-paid package of 3 for $325.

Children under 16 are $60 if the child of a current client, or $80 if not the child of a client.

Payment is by card, cash or bank transfer.  Gift vouchers are also available (contact for details).

Unfortunately this is no longer possible.

I believe that Bowen is a very affordable treatment option, as most people require less treatments versus many other modalities.

My treatment table is extra wide with motorised raise and lower) to make life easier once in the treatment room.

There are three small steps to get into the treatment room. If the bathroom is needed, it’s approx 5 metre walk with 1 step.

If you feel that Bowen will benefit you, but access is an issue, contact me to negotiate treatment at home. The cost per treatment will depend on location, parking/access, timing versus other offsite treatments, and number of treatments being committed to and paid for in advance. Note that all home-treatments must be paid for prior to treatment.
