T. Down - 23/10/24

Anna has such a calm and professional manner that immediately puts you at ease. I originally came to her with neck pain, a frozen shoulder, and persistent tinnitus. After just three Bowen treatments, I’ve experienced some truly incredible changes.

My shoulder now has full range of movement again, and the uncomfortable crunching sensation has eased significantly. I’ve noticed a warm, healing ache in certain areas—not painful, just a sign that something was shifting and improving.

One of the most amazing outcomes was the disappearance of my tinnitus just a few days after my third session. I’ve lived with that for years, so this was a huge relief. I also realised I no longer need to rub the outside of my knees daily—pain that had become part of my routine has completely gone.

Even my posture has changed. I can’t slump at my desk anymore without feeling uncomfortable—I naturally sit properly now. These subtle but powerful shifts have made a real difference in my day-to-day life.

Thank you, Anna!

I came to Anna following a discectomy/spinal surgery at L4/L5, along with ongoing shoulder and neck pain. From the start, Anna was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. I really enjoyed learning about the Bowen technique and appreciated how she explained why she chose particular areas and movements during treatment.

As a nurse, I was impressed that Anna asked for feedback on how she communicated the process—it made me feel truly listened to. Involving the client in their own recovery is so important, and Anna does this beautifully. It helped me feel emotionally invested and empowered throughout the sessions.

Her therapy has really helped with the recovery of weakness and left leg function (which came from the injury to my spine), reduced my overall pain, and increased my confidence in my body’s functionality. Not only was the treatment super relaxing and effective, but Anna herself is such a lovely person to be around. She takes the time to get to know you, and her uplifting compliments always left me walking out feeling relaxed and mentally positive.

Thank you so much, Anna!

I came to Anna with golfers elbow in both arms and persistent lower back pain. From the very first session, I was struck by her amazing knowledge and the way she tailored her assessment to me individually and holistically. Each treatment was incredibly relaxing and welcoming, and I felt the benefits almost immediately.

Anna’s passion for Bowen Therapy shines through in everything she does—it truly enhances the experience and deepens your understanding of the treatment. I found the sessions so beneficial for my ailments, and I’m already looking forward to coming back.

I’ll be telling a lot of nurses about Anna. Thank you!

"I came to Anna with painful plantar fasciitis and shin splints that were really affecting my cricket training. After just three Bowen sessions, the pain was completely gone—and the recovery was incredibly quick. The treatment itself was pain-free and super relaxing, which made the whole experience even better. I’ve seen noticeable changes in my overall wellbeing, and my breathing has improved significantly too. I’m so impressed with the results that I’ll be telling all my cricket mates about Anna. Absolutely 5 out of 5!"

Really didn’t know what to expect, but Anna was thorough with her explanations around the Bowen treatment. My first treatment was strange as you are left for short periods to let the treatment work. WOW is all I can say. After nearly 14 years of intense shoulder pain, which has me in tears sometimes, has completely gone. After just one treatment! So I had 3 weekly treatments then moved to monthly to maintain. I am sleeping better, I went to Cardiff and walked further than I have for sometime and I managed a full day at powderham for a gig. I have fibromyalgia and this is the only thing that has helped me. All I can say is that she’s magic. I’m not cured but I am definitely improving. Highly recommend giving Anna a try.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Bowen with Anna had been my first experience of the Bowen technique and it has been truly amazing. Firstly Anna is so warm and welcoming and makes you feel at ease immediately, taking time to find out about your ailments, injuries, aches and pains. Her manner throughout the treatment is extremely professional and her knowledge of Bowen and how to help each body is second none. She also offers advice with stretching tips and exercises you can do at home to support the treatment given. For those who haven’t tried Bowen before, it’s gentle but so so powerful. I could feel my body lengthening and realigning. My clicky jaw is less clunky, my headaches gone and my tilted pelvis back on straight!! 5 stars from me - I am a convert!!!!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have had fibromyalgia for over 12 years and have tried a number of different treatments to help with the pain, but without success. Some may have worked short-term, but the pain would come back. I live with pain 24 / 7. When I was introduced to Bowen therapy, I decided to give it a try. I have just had my fourth session, and the difference in my body has been amazing. I went to Poland after my second session and couldn't believe how much walking I could do before the pain showed its ugly head again. My legs were in pain at the end of the day but it was so worth it because of how much i was able to achieve. I knew I was having another session when I got home so it  was ok to deal with it.My sleeping patten is better as well, and i have not haveing long deep sleeps in the afternoon, as i was before the therpty. It's crazy how a very gentle touch can make such a difference. I am not saying it's taking away all the pain, but it's making a huge difference to my life, which I wasn't expecting. It's still early days, but one step at a time. It's so worth working through the pain, as it can be painful in the frist few days are each treatment,  and that just shows its working, and with the amazing support of Anna, I am looking forward to my next lot of treatments. Anna will take her time to get to know you and listern to what your issues are and work on those issues with you. she explains everything she is doing and how it will help. I am so glad i have found out about Bowen Therapy as its making my fibro a lot easier to live with.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I've had 4 treatments with anna to help with my back and I cant believe the difference i have been in pain since last December 2025 just picking something up would make my back spasm. I cant believe the difference with very small massages and movements (amazing) this is a must try if you have back pain, joint pain. And the added bonus is Anna is very lovely and makes you feel very comfortable and tells you everything she is doing and why.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have just finished my 3rd Bowen therapy with Anna. I read up on Bowen therapy as I was suffering with a very painful neck. After my first session and walked home I felt so aligned, I'd been walking more on my right side. After my second session I didnt feel any tension in my body and felt so happy mentally and physically. Today I feel everything that was hurting me has been melted away. I cannot recommend Anna enough. It's hard to explain the treatment, but it is very gentle and so relaxing. Anna explains everything to you and really gets to know where you need treatment. It definitely works and I will only use Anna in the future. Thakyou Anna for fixing me ❤️

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I can’t recommend Anna highly enough. After going through an emotional breakup, suffering with anxiety, and the general stresses of a 50 year olds everyday life, I had already tried talking therapy and felt like I’d exhausted what it could offer me. I wanted to try something different—and I’m so glad I did, because this has been nothing short of exceptional. Even after the first treatment I felt a huge difference, a complete shift in my outlook on life, not only in helping me feel calmer and more balanced, I didn't feel 'stuck' anymore. It’s been a completely different kind of healing experience, and one that has genuinely helped me move forward. What truly sets her apart is not just her skill, but her warmth and kindness. She is always so friendly and welcoming, creating a space where you immediately feel at ease. She listens with real care and compassion, and her professionalism shines through in every session. I always leave feeling lighter, more grounded, and better able to cope. I’m so grateful to have found her and am excited to return to work on my menopausal and tinnitus symptoms post hysterectomy.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I've had 3 sessions with Anna, mainly for my fibromyalgia and anxiety. I felt less anxious after the first session, and my pain doesn't seem as bad. As well as it helping mentally and physically, it's such a calming atmosphere, and has worked far better that a chiropractor ever has. I also had a bad shoulder, which has almost cleared up, and have been given exercises to help. Will definitely be doing top ups every few months 😊

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Bowen therapy has really helped my child through a very difficult period of anxiety. After a number of sessions his whole demeanour has changed, he is more relaxed, less anxious and overall calmer. He seems to really enjoy the sessions and always leaves smiling and happy 😊
