Bowen Therapy with Teena

Gentle doesn't mean less effective.

One of the biggest misconceptions about Bowen Therapy is that it needs to be firm to work.

In reality, Bowen uses very gentle, precise movements over muscles and fascia.
Bowen doesn't follow the "no pain, no gain" approach. The aim isn't to force the body or push through discomfort, but to communicate with the nervous system and encourage the body to make its own adjustments.

Some areas of tension, tightness or sensitive trigger points may feel tender during a Bowen move, but this is usually brief and settles once the move is complete.

Often, it's exactly what the body has been waiting for.

Gentle. Relief. Balance.

Ever wondered what those “muscle knots” are that everyone talks about? 🤔

I came across this fascinating short video that explains trigger points and muscle knots in a simple, easy-to-understand way.

In Bowen Therapy, gentle moves are made over specific muscles, fascia and trigger point areas to encourage the body to release tension naturally. As those tight areas begin to relax, many people notice they move more freely and feel more comfortable.

Take a look at the video—I hope you find it as interesting as I did!

When we're stressed, our nervous system spends a lot of time in "fight or flight."

Bowen Therapy encourages the body to shift toward its natural "rest and restore" state.

That's one reason many people notice they're sleeping better, breathing more deeply or simply feeling calmer after a session.

Healing isn't always about doing more.

Sometimes it's about giving the body the opportunity to reset.

Oil of the Month – Lavender

Lavender is one of those oils I reach for time and time again.

I love using it to help create a calm, relaxing environment, especially at bedtime.

Many people also enjoy adding a few drops to a diffuser or diluting it for a soothing massage after a busy day.

But did you know lavender can also be a handy oil to have on hand? I often use it on minor insect bites to help soothe the skin and calm irritation. Lavender is also known for its naturally cleansing and antimicrobial properties.

It’s a wonderful all-round oil that has earned its place in many homes. 💜

Never had Bowen Therapy before?

Here's what to expect.

✔ We'll begin by completing a brief intake form and having a chat about what has brought you in and how I may be able to help.

✔ You'll remain comfortably clothed on my massage table.

✔ I'll work slowly using gentle, precise Bowen moves, including carefully timed pauses to allow your body time to respond naturally.

✔ Sessions are gentle and relaxing.

✔ Most sessions take around an hour.

Every treatment is tailored to the individual, because every body tells a different story.

Gentle. Relief. Balance.

This is why I work on your whole body not just your sore spot.

A tight hip can strain the lower back.

A stiff neck can cause jaw pain.

Your body is a network — and Bowen Therapy considers the whole map, not just the trouble spot.

Hi, I thought it was time for an updated introduction…

I’m Teena, a Bowen Therapist based in Elleker, helping people across Albany, Denmark and the Great Southern of WA. I love helping people feel more comfortable in their bodies and get back to doing the things they enjoy.

I work with people of all ages — from babies through to older adults — and everyone comes to Bowen for their own reasons.

So, what can Bowen help with?

People come to me for all sorts of reasons — aches and pains, tight or sore muscles, back and neck problems, headaches, joint discomfort, stress, tension and sleep concerns. I also have a particular interest in hormonal health and supporting women through the changes that can come with different stages of life.

Sometimes you know exactly what’s bothering you. Other times, you just know you don’t feel quite right, you’re tired of being uncomfortable, or your body seems to be compensating in all sorts of places.

That’s where I love working with people — looking at the body as a whole rather than just focusing on the spot that hurts. That doesn’t mean I ignore the painful area, I often work directly on “that spot that hurts”, while also looking at the rest of the body, because everything is connected.

Bowen is a gentle therapy using precise moves over the muscles, fascia and soft tissues. Treatments are individual, and I take the time to listen to what’s going on with you and how your body is responding.

I first discovered Bowen more than 18 years ago when it helped me with my own back pain. I was so impressed by the difference it made that I eventually trained in Bowen myself — and I’ve been hooked ever since!

I’ve now worked in the health industry for more than 25 years and continue to study and expand my skills. My training includes:
• Smart Bowen
• Bowen Hormone Release
• Fascial Kinetics
• Bowen Nerve Dynamics
• Emmett Technique – Levels 1 & 2
• Reiki 1

I’m still learning, still curious and still love seeing the difference a gentle treatment can make.

If you’re wondering whether Bowen might be suitable for you, feel free to send me a message. I’m always happy to have a chat.

Gentle. Relief. Balance.

We live in a busy world where our bodies rarely get the chance to truly slow down.

Bowen Therapy uses gentle, precise movements over muscles and fascia, followed by short pauses that give your nervous system time to respond.

Many people leave feeling more relaxed, moving more freely and sleeping better.

Sometimes the gentlest approach is exactly what the body needs.

People often ask me what Bowen Therapy can help with.

Every person is different, but Bowen is commonly used to support people experiencing:

• Back and neck pain
• Shoulder pain
• Hip and knee discomfort
• Headaches
• Muscle tension
• Stress and anxiety
• Poor sleep
• Hormonal problems of all ages

Bowen doesn't force the body—it encourages it to reset and rebalance in its own time.

Gentle can be incredibly powerful.
