A Whole-Body, Assessment-Led Approach to Pain, Tension & Everyday Life
About Bowen in Motion
Bowen in Motion grew from a very simple wish: to help people feel more at ease in their bodies and more themselves in their everyday lives. When pain or tension starts getting in the way of the things you enjoy, walking, gardening, work, hobbies, or just moving freely, it takes more than just movement from you. It can take confidence too. My hope is to help people find a bit more comfort, breathing space and ease again.
Bowen played a meaningful part in my own recovery, and that experience shaped the heart of this business. I still love seeing the small soft shifts people feel, the moment their shoulders drop, the first deep breath of the day, the tiny spark of relief that says, “Yes… that’s better.”
And honestly, one of the best parts of this work is the people. I love the conversations, the shared stories, the laughter, the sense of community that’s grown including the ever-expanding plant, egg and vegetable exchange that always brightens my week.
At its core, Bowen in Motion exists to support people in feeling grounded, supported and more at home in their bodies.

About Me
My Bowen journey began after a major car accident left me with severe whiplash. A Bowen treatment within hours helped me get back to work far sooner than expected, and it quietly changed the direction of my life. Not in a dramatic “light bulb” moment, more in the gentle, intuitive way that nudges you toward something that feels right.
That intuitive sense has always guided me. Yes, I’m practical and observant, but I also have a spiritual side that keeps me grounded and connected. I use oracle cards when I need clarity, keep crystals around the house and clinic, and trust the quiet instincts that often guide the pace and presence of a session. It’s not about anything mystical, just a way of staying open, centred and human in the work I do.
When Covid paused the world, I stepped into a new chapter and trained as a tutor with the College of Bowen Studies. I no longer teach, but I hold that time fondly, supporting students through nerves, breakthroughs, learning curves and successes was incredibly rewarding.
In 2025, I completed my training in Assessment-Led Bowen Technique (ALBT), a more structured way of identifying what’s actually driving someone’s pain or restricted movement. It felt like the missing piece of the puzzle. The Bowen moves themselves haven’t changed, but the way I understand patterns, compensations and the “why” behind someone’s discomfort has. It’s made my sessions more accurate, more responsive and even more tailored to your body on the day.
Life has offered its own lessons too. A recent health scare deepened my respect for the body’s resilience and reminded me how much support, physical, emotional, spiritual matters. And losing our beloved border collie, Denver in July 2025 was a heartbreak. He greeted clients with a waggy tail and a very cheeky personality. He’s missed every single day. We may welcome another dog in the spring, depending on how life unfolds.
Alongside Bowen in Motion, I also run Bowen for Paws, supporting dogs with tension, stiffness and mobility needs. Working with animals brings a different kind of quiet magic, and I adore it.
Outside the clinic, you’ll find me in my greenhouse chatting to seedlings, wandering the local fields and woodlands, cooking, reading, or escaping to Suffolk when I can. Nature is a huge part of how I stay grounded and yes, I love to pull an oracle card before heading into the day or with the Moon cycles.
Through all the twists and turns, one thing has stayed constant: a deep love for helping people (and their dogs) move with more ease and feel more at home in their own bodies.
It’s the heart of my work, the anchor in my life, and the reason Bowen in Motion exists.

- I have been suffering from back, leg and shoulder pain following extensive surgery earlier this year. A friend reccomended Beth and told me about Bowen therapy. I booked an appointment in the hope that I could get some relief from my pain … More which had me in tears at times. Beth was very welcoming and patient with me, I could tell she was very knowledgeable about the body and she is very experienced with Bowen. Beth could tell I felt anxious and took time to put me at ease. She used Bowen therapy techniques on me and after 3 sessions I have noticed a dramatic improvement in my pain. Beth also provided me with some exercises I could do at home to help. I highly reccomended anyone who has pain to try Bowen with Beth, I'm so pleased I did. I will visit her again for some scar tissue therapy when I feel ready. Thanks Beth!
- I am so grateful for the excellent care I received from Beth at Bowen in Motion. I was experiencing stiffness and painful neck pain and also down my left arm. Beth took her time to explain everything clearly and I felt completely comfortable … More and supported throughout the entire process, and was given a personalised treatment plan to do also at home. The treatment significantly reduced my pain and improved after only 2 sessions. (I cancelled my third as not required - pain free). I highly recommend Beth, she is truly dedicated to her patients well-being.
- Bowen in motion was recommended to me by a friend who had also suffered with sciatica. Beth was so friendly when I met her at my first appointment and I felt completely comfortable every time. The treatment helped hugely with my symptoms … More and I wouldn’t hesitate to contact Beth again should I need to 🙂
- I started off seeing Peter, who did a fantastic job of peeling away the layers of problems with my back and neck. Since he has handed over to Beth I have been seeing her and she has continued the fantastic job of sorting the problems that … More I have had. Beth also treated my hysterectomy scar and this was amazing. I did not realise how restricted my leg and hip movement was until she did the scar release work. I am so grateful to them both for the work that they have done.
Both my parents have also received treatment from Peter and Beth on my recommendation with great success.
I regularly recommend Beth's services to friends and family.
It is great to know that if I have a problem, I can call Beth and know that relief will come once I see her.
Thank you Beth. - I had a back problem, and thanks to Beth, the pain went away after just two sessions. She has a lovely and welcoming environment, explained everything clearly in detail, and gave me really helpful advice and exercises to do at home. I can’t … More recommend her enough!
- I initially went to see Beth for recurring shoulder pain after my partner recommended her. I had some relief after the initial treatment, and was pain free after the third. She also helped with hormonal issues monthly. Beth is so lovely … More and even saw me the same day when I messaged her in pain! Highly recommend!!
- I have had back issues for a number of years and suffered silence. Beth was recommended to me through a friend and I can honestly say it’s the best thing I’ve done. Bowen has really helped with the pain and mobility. Whenever I have a flare … More up she’s the first person I contact and within a session or two I’m as good as new again. She’s such a lovely lady, friendly, caring and brilliant at what she does. Highly recommend!!
- Background - I injured my knee whilst running and this was followed by a back injury, caused by cleaning windows!. The back pain was so bad that I struggled to dress and couldn’t tie my shoe laces. Discussing my predicament with a friend … More and they recommended a visit to Beth at Bowen in Motion.
Treatment - My initial visit started with a consultation and an explanation about what the treatment involved followed by the treatment itself. My initial thoughts were that the
process is so gentle that it couldn’t work. I was wrong, the day following treatment my mobility was already improving.
The second appointment continued repairing my knee and back injuries and found areas that I had injured previously and had either forgotten about, or had learned to live with. I had already been back in the Gym which I did not think possible
Today was my final appointment and sees me technically discharged. Beth has been brilliant throughout, always explaining what areas were being treat whilst ensuring that I was comfortable throughout. There has never been any pressure to book extra appointments proving that patient care is at the forefront of the business.
I unreservedly recommend Beth at Bowen in Motion and should I need any treatment in the future, this will be my port of call. Thank you for your time and patience and for repairing me and thank you to Julie for pointing me in the direction of Bowen in motion for my treatment.
Brian Lewis. - I have had severe shoulder and back problems for over 3years. I wasted time and money on various treatments before I came to Peter. He is very knowledgeable, professional and on top of that, a really nice and polite person as well. Since … More I began my therapy with Peter, I can go after sports activities like before and enjoy daily life pain free. I only can recommend BOWEN in Motion.
- Beth was recommended to me by my girlfriend after she had Bowen Therapy for her back pain, I was suffering from shoulder pain which had been ongoing for quite some time, after two sessions my shoulders are now back to normal and pain free, … More I can't recommend Beth enough, what she does is amazing, thank you so much.
- I had a taster session with Beth at a wellness day and was so impressed by the immediate relief on my arthritic hip,was was able to walk without pain or limping,I booked a session to deal with other issues around scar tissues and that is … More successful going forwards. I have another session booked to follow up with working on neck,head and shoulders,I am so happy to have found Beth for Bowen in the village I live in.Thank you Beth.😇🙏
- I met Beth at an event and was intrigued to find out more about how Bowen might help with aches and pains i suffer due to fibromyalgia. Beth was very friendly, professional and informative. I took away a leaflet to have a read and must … More admit I was sceptical.
A few friends that also attended the event were raving about how incredible the affects of Beths Bowen treatment had been and so I hesitated no more and booked in.
WOW. I really wish I had met Beth sooner because Bowen has completely changed my whole lifestyle. I no longer have to miss family times because I've over exerted myself the day before. I can walk freely without feeling constant pain in my joints. Gone are the evenings laying on the sofa feeling sorry for myself with my heat pad.
I actually believe Beths Bowen treatment is magical.
Highly highly recommend for anyone thinking about booking, you will not regret it! - Visited Beth after a recommendation from a friend who saw I had back pain. Was fantastic. On my first visit I was at pain level 8! After about an hour after that appointment it was 2 and completely pain free by the next day. I couldn’t … More believe it as the treatment was very slight. I now visit infrequently (approx every 4 or 5 weeks) and not had any back issues since. Even going to gym and playing golf again!!…..things I’d stopped doing for a couple of years due to back pain.
- I was unsure if anyone would ever solve my back/neck/shoulder pain. I have tried massage, physio, osteopath, chiropractor and even acupuncture! Nothing has ever worked until I met Beth at Bowen in Motion. After just 3 treatments I was completely … More pain free and able to sleep much more soundly.
I can't recommend her enough - so glad she was recommended to me and I am now passing her details to all my friends and family!
Thanks Beth - I have been visiting Peter for a couple of months now and have found the treatments excellent.
I now have good movement and I am pain free.
I have recommended Peter to other family members that have experienced the same results.
I would … More recommend him to anyone that has a mobility or pain issue.
He is also a very likeable therapist and very professional.
