Bowen Therapy
Anita qualified as a Bowen therapist in 2001 and is a member of the Bowen Therapy Professional Association.
Bowen therapy is a drug-free, non-invasive, hands-on complementary therapy which is suitable for all ages. It helps to re-balance the body and promotes healing. Rather than 'making' the body change, Bowen 'asks' the body to recognise and make required changes.
During Bowen therapy Anita will make small, rolling movements over muscles, soft tissue, ligaments and tendons at precise points on your body using her fingers and thumbs. Bowen therapy does not involve hard tissue manipulation or force.
After each set of movements Anita will allow your body to rest for a few minutes to initiate the healing process. Sessions can last 30 - 60 minutes, and most people find them very relaxing.
Bowen therapy can help with a wide range of conditions including:
- Ear problems
- Bronchial/respiratory problems
- Tennis elbow
- Back pain
- Menstrual problems
- Knee problems
- Hay fever
- Shoulder problems
- Infant colic
- RSI
- Pelvic pain
- Hamstring problems

Celebrity comments on Bowen Therapy:
"I say give it a go before there's any talk of surgery or other more drastic treatment. Try Bowen … and like me, you may get one heck of a surprise."
Bill Tarmey (Jack Duckworth from Coronation Street)
"Bowen has helped keep my body together despite the continual bashing it takes. It's a vital support in putting right a whole range of new aches and pains, making sure that old injuries don't cause me problems, and helping me fight stress and fatigue."
Bear Grylls (Born Survivor, Channel 4)

Hopi Ear Candling
During Hope ear candling the hollow candles draw impurities to the surface where they can be gently removed, and a plug within the candle prevents anything entering your ear. Hope ear candling will equalise the pressure in your ears and head and is a relaxing, soothing therapy.
Anita is trained in the use of an otoscope and will examine your inner ear before treatment to ensure you do not have an infection.
Hopi Candling can help with:
- Excessive or compacted wax
- Glue ears and sinus problems
- Tinitus
- Pressure regulation
The therapy is recommended before air travel and can provide energetic revitalisation for people with a hearing impairment
Reiki
During Reiki treatment Anita will transfer healing energy to you through energy attunements which enable energy to flow from her to you. The therapy will stimulate your own natural healing process and can help with:
- Help with aches and pains
- Stress relief
- Help with depression
You will remain fully clothed during Reiki therapy.

I had Plantar Fasciitis, then Sciatica, had pain relief from GP, 10 days duration, made appointment for week ahead, and after first Bowen treatment, slept well for first night in nearly three weeks. Only took pain relief twice in following week. After 2nd treatment, no more pain and no more pain relief and the foot problem better too! Had one more treatment, and am so very, very pleased. Thank you Anita, I feel so blessed to have found you with your skills to help me heal, Love and Peace Josie Skillen
I came to Anita via recommendation. I have had a frozen shoulder which has been getting progressively worse over the last two years. I left it too long before receiving treatment, however after just three sessions with Anita my shoulder is alot less painful, and more flexible than it has been for sometime. I am very pleased with the results so far, and hope this continues.
My name is Chris Stringer and I have been receiving Bowen and Reiki treatments from Anita for over 5 years. I initially visited Anita because I was suffering with stress and depression, her sessions helped me to overcome the negative feelings that are associated wtih these ailments. Anita has also successfully treated my neck pain and our sessions toegther help me to keep a positive outlook on life. Anita has always shown a level of care, knowledge and understanding whilst being both professional and personable which is a wonderful combination. I have recommended Anita to my family and friends. In fact my son was suffering with a bad back due to a recurring sports injury. I suggested he visited Anita, he was initially unsure of this type of healing process but after a few sessions his back was in great shape and he was able to return to the squash courts and carry out a full programme in the gym.
Both of us have had Bowen treatment for various physical coditions, feet, knees wrist, neck and back (Brenda), stomach, groin, neck and shoulder (Peter). Both of us have had Bowen, Indian Head Massage and Hopi candles. We have derived considerable benefit from our various treatments. Anita has been able to advise about the appropriate treatment for each condiiton. We have been attending Anita's clinic for 5 years.
Anita is a fantastic therapist and a wonderful human being, She has made a massive difference to the mobility of my back and general wellbeing. I can thoroughly recommend Anita
