promoting healing, pain relief and recovery of energy
Welcome to Aidanfield Bowen with Christine Robotham
COVID-19 Information
My professional association -The Bowen Therapy Professional Association (BTPA) - has advised that its members may continue to practise remedial Bowen Therapy during the lockdown period in England between 5 November - 2 December 2020.
The Complementary & Natural Healthcare Council (CNHC) which holds an Accredited Register by the Professional Standards Authority for Health and Social Care (accountable to the UK Parliament) has confirmed that the complementary health practitioners on its Bowen Therapy register - of which I am a member - meet the definition of "other...health services, including services relating to mental health" contained in Section 47, Part 3 of the Schedule to The Health Protection (Coronavirus, Restrictions) (England) (No 4)Regulations 2020 and can therefore continue to practise during the latest lockdown period. The legal advice taken by the CNHC has taken into account that in Section 25E of the Health and Social Care Act 2012, practitioners on Accredited Registers are defined as engaged in work that includes the provision of healthcare."
I trained and qualified with the European College Of Bowen Studies (now known as The College of Bowen Studies) in 2001. I am a member of the Bowen Therapist Professional Association (BTPA) as well as the Complementary National Healthcare Council (CNHC). Membership of these organisations means that as well as being a qualified Bowen Therapist, I also hold qualifications in Anatomy, Physiology and First Aid, have public liability insurance and work to a strict Code of Conduct, as well as carrying out regular continuing professional development in the Bowen Technique.
As I have a profound love of animals, in 2004, following training with the European Guild of Canine Bowen Therapists, I became one of the first Canine Bowen Therapists to qualify in this country. Prior to moving to Northumberland in 2017, I ran a busy Bowen practise, both in the Midlands and the North West.
I now work from the ground floor clinic of my home in the peaceful village of Fenwick, just a couple of minutes off the A1 adjacent to Holy Island, eight miles south of Berwick upon Tweed.
Bowen Technique
The Bowen Technique is a gentle, non invasive, hands on muscle release therapy comprising very precise rolling movements over muscle and soft tissue on specific points of the body which is believed to prompt the body to reset, rebalance and repair itself, promoting pain relief, improvement of function and recovery of energy. Clients regularly report a general feeling of well being and relaxation following treatment.
Canine Bowen
The Canine Bowen Technique is a holistic therapy comprising very gentle moves over fascia, muscle and soft tissue. The overall comfort and trust of the dog is paramount so It is often preferable for the dog to be treated in its own environment where it will feel more secure and receptive.
