About Bowen-by-Mena

Key Products :


I have 33yrs experience as a qualified nurse working in the NHS until 2015, working in the specialty of Haematology which included Oncology experience.
Bowen is a gentle therapy, using rolling moves over specific muscles and tendons. There are short breaks between the moves, to allow the body to respond and start it's own healing process, this is unique to the Bowen Technique.
There is no hard pressure or manipulation involved, Bowen therapy is not a massage.
It is not intended to replace conventional medicine in any way.
I am also now accredited in the practice of McLoughlin Scar Tissue Release (MSTR): this is a gentle therapy working directly on scars to release the tensions they hold, and importantly, treating clients with symptoms in the body that they may not have associated with the tensions in the scar.
For example; a Caesarian Section scar may cause long term back problems as I discovered with a client who volunteered to be a case study for me. She had assumed her back pain was related to her job, but after 19yrs is now pain free.
As a Bowen Practitioner and Accredicted MSTR Practitioner, I am registered with the College of Bowen Studies and fully insured with Balens Insurance Brokers.

It has been reported that 3 treatments give best results with Bowen therapy. I recommend for a new problem that the first two treatments are 5-10 days apart, then the third treatments 2-3 weeks later, allowing for change to start to take place.
With long standing issues, I suggest three treatments 5-10 days apart then a further treatment 4-5 weeks later.
Whichever timescale is used, and on agreement with a client top up treatments approximately 4months later would be planned.

I have had success with clients with a wide range of problems, such as:
High blood pressure, Fibromyalgia, MS symptoms Stroke symptoms Pain and joint problems Anxiety and emotional issues Migraine Baby colic.
Hormone imbalance.

Testimonials:
KD- "I am amazed at how Bowen has significantly lowered my blood pressure after only a few sessions, now I no longer have to consider medication, I am delighted"

BB-to her Pilates teacher " thank you for introducing me to Mena and the Bowen technique. I cannot believe how much better I feel after 4 sessions. You noticed how much the mobility of my knees has improved, but also my shoulders and feet feel more supple and best of all, I am sleeping through the night instead of waking up at 2hrly intervals as I've done for the last 15 years. The sessions are very relaxing and best of all, you get to keep your clothes on.

The Bowen technique is safe and non invasive. Full assessment is given at first session and revisited through discussion prior to subsequent treatments.

I work from the Pilates Studio in Yarm, and The House, 283, Acklam Road. I sometimes treat from home in the evening to accommodate those who are only free after work. I occasionally treat in a clients home if they have mobility issues.

The best discovery ever…. Bowens a really beneficial treatment for me and go to Mena on a monthly basis who I find outstandingly good. Very happy costumer.

I have had several sessions with Mena to deal with back and shoulder pain which has greatly improved. Having just had my five year clear scan following breast cancer Mena has worked on the two scars which has been miraculous, all soreness has gone and the scars hardly perceptible. Last week Mena worked on my very old hysterectomy scar which has now totally flattened. I wish I had known about the Bowen technique years ago. My fitness has greatly improved, thankyou Mena.

Mena is absolutely amazing I went to her because I have fibromyalgia I was in so much pain and absolutely exhausted all the time I didn’t want to do anything she has helped me so much I am nearly pain free and I have so much more energy this lady is amazing she’s given me a new lease of life thank you so much mena xx.

I saw Mena for several issues, including hormone imbalance and hip problems which I had suffered from since pregnancy. Bowen therapy has helped regulate my monthly cycle and helped improve the pain I experienced in my hips. Mena is professional and made me feel at ease throughout my treatment. She also worked with my infant who experienced terrible colic but the baby bowen moves ended these problems. Highly recommend.
Response : Thank you Fiona; your body is learning to heal itself with the newly acquired Hormone Release skills I've been using. It was wonderful watching baby respond so quickly to Bowen too.

Went to find out about this therapy after a recommendation. I have had trouble with my back for a while now and had to roll out of bed, and it was making me limp with the pain. Now after just 4 sessions I can now get out of bed properly and I am feeling tons better. This has been the best therapy I have tried.
Response : Thank you Geoff, it's been brilliant watching the response you have had to Bowen, remember I am merely a facilitator, your body has done its own healing.

Following a fall from a DIY platform I damaged my shoulder and neck, and pulled a muscle in my leg. Fortunately no bones were broken but I was in some pain. I had three one hour Bowen treatments with Mena and was surprised by how thorough and gentle they were. After the first session I felt an immediate improvement in my injuries, and after the third my leg and neck were both almost back to normal, and my shoulder injury greatly improved. I now no longer require pain killers, and am grateful for the skilled treatment given by Mena.
Response : Tim, I thought you would like to know that your review has helped more people to try the Bowen Technique. Thank you.

I have been in poor health for many years with m. E and fibromyalgia. In that time I have tried many treatments both conventional and alternative, and Bowen is the only treatment that has given me any respite. It is totally relaxing and non - intrusive. Mena is so gentle and discreet and works at a pace to suit the patient. Well worth trying - you have nothing to lose and maybe a lot to gain ! Good luck.
Response : Thank you Judith, I just wanted you to know that your review has helped others with fibromyalgia to try Bowen.
