History of The Bowen Technique

The technique was developed by Thomas Ambrose. Bowen (1916-1982) in Geelong, Victoria. After serving in World War II, Bowen became interested in ways to alleviate human suffering. His main gift was an incredible eye that was able to spot structural imbalances and identify where these originated. With a few very simple and gentle moves, he would start the process of repair immediately, often without the client realising that anything had changed. The technique is unique in that it was developed without Bowen having any previous training in any modality or discipline; in fact, he frequently stated that his work was, simply a gift from God. Over a period of several years he developed the system as it is used today. 

The first seminar was held in Perth, Australia, in 1986, and by 1990, the Bowen Technique has been introduced throughout Australia, New Zealand, North America and the United Kingdom, and practitioners use this amazing healing modality world wide.

Because this technique is so effective, it has been widely embraced by a broad spectrum of people. Healing professionals have been impressed by the capabilities of a Bowen treatment and the diversity of problems addressed.
