Hello, I'm Emma. I completed my nursing training at the University of Nottingham in the 1990s and have worked in specialist neurology units in London and Sussex.

After several years I retrained as a Remedial Massage Therapist and worked in Sussex, treating members of the public and fellow health care professionals before moving to Hong Kong, where I worked alongside a Physiotherapy team.   Whilst there, I was given the wonderful opportunity of working at the 2006 RBS International Rugby Sevens, with a team of therapists, treating players from over twenty countries.

It was during my two year stay in Hong Kong that I studied several forms of soft tissue manipulation to enhance my work, and began to feel that I could do more to help my clients.

In 2006 my interest was sparked when I attended a demonstration evening of Bowen Therapy.   During the evening all attendees received treatment.  In my case, the treatment was for a painful thumb (an occupational hazard and a long-term problem). Three moves were made across my shoulder and my thumb became really hot. It was quite an amazing experience.  From that day to this I have not had any further problems with my thumb.

This experience led me to re-evaluate my work as a Massage Therapist and grasp the opportunity to learn a new (more gentle) way of treating people.   And so, during 2006/7 I trained as a Bowen Therapist with two inspirational Australian teachers from the International School of Bowen Therapy (ISBT) in Hong Kong, where the benefits of the technique are more commonly known and more readily incorporated into healing strategies.

Since then I have completed the advanced course in Bowen Therapy enabling me to help people with long term and more complicated (unresolved) problems.  I now practice in several locations in Sussex.   Click here to contact me.
