To train as a Bowen practitioner you must first start with a "Core Bowen" course.
You may wish to explore the different variations in approach to the work of Tom Bowen against your own background prior to selecting the course most appropriate to you.
For some of the "Core Bowen" courses prior knowledge of bodywork and anatomy and physiology is a pre-requisite.
CPD courses enable you to keep your skills up-to-date after your initial "Core Bowen" training.
The following courses have been assessed and accepted as Core Bowen Training Courses and comply with UK National Occupational Standards or overseas equivalent. Each hour of hands-on training counts towards your "Core Bowen" Training or Bowen CPD requirement.
