Why Learn Bowenwork?

Bowenwork is gentle on the body, effective, and appropriate for anyone to receive, including newborns, highly trained athletes, pregnant women, the elderly, and even animals.

Of all bodywork modalities, Bowenwork is perhaps one of the gentlest on the practitioner as well as one of the most effective. With its minimalist application of gentle/subtle moves, professional Bowenwork practitioners can be more effective, with more clients, and even see multiple clients at once, without getting injured or burned out.

Non-professional Bowenworkers can bring deep relief to friends and family through minimal touch.

For everyone interested in exploring Bowenwork, now is a great time to learn how to apply the simple, gentle touch of Bowenwork to help ease pain and promote health. Find out more about Introductory classes today.

Non-Certification Program

American Bowen Academy is dedicated to bringing Tom Bowen’s unique bodywork to the world. In support of our mission, we welcome all students who wish to learn this work, from those who intend to develop a career as a professional practitioner to those who wish to use their skills to help friends and family or to volunteer in their community.

The beauty of Bowenwork is that it just works, even for beginners. Attend one, or more, classes to learn how to:

  • Signal the body that “the emergency is over”, a very important first step in activating the body’s internal healing response.
  • Ease pain and reduce stress in almost any situation.
  • Provide first-aid assistance when someone is injured.
  • Offer a supportive touch to those with chronic illnesses.

Start with Module 1 to learn how to apply basic Bowen moves for problems in any area of the body. Attending subsequent modules will help you refine your skills and learn new moves that help specific complaints. Completing at least Modules 1-4 will give you a solid framework and understanding of the technique’s most accessible and beneficial moves.

Health Professionals

When incorporated into an existing health practice, Bowenwork can be a great benefit to a wide variety of clients and patients. Health professionals from several fields and specialties call on Bowenwork to enhance and grow their practices.

Two of the primary benefits of Bowenwork from the practitioner’s perspective are its gentle application and the delays between sets of moves. This keeps the possibility of burnout at an absolute minimum and allows practitioners to see multiple patients at a time in one setting.
