Finding Gentle Balance: Bowen Therapy in Scarborough
Hello, I'm Claire, and I am here to walk alongside you during matrescence. If you are searching for gentle, family friendly Bowen Therapy in the Northern Suburbs of Perth, I offer a safe, trauma-informed space for support.
Bowen Therapy can be deeply restorative and is an invitation for your body to pause, recalibrate, and remember its innate ability to heal and find harmony. This work is about honouring your body’s autonomy and creating transformative, long-lasting change.
What is Bowen Therapy?
Bowen Therapy is a non-invasive soft tissue therapy. By applying gentle pressure without forceful manipulation, a Bowen Therapist uses touch to communicate with the fascia* and nerve receptors of the body. This has a flow-on influence to the muscles, tendons, ligaments, joints and organs.
Bowen moves initiate the body’s own restorative and organisational responses, encouraging the body to unwind and release tension. It is a healing modality that honours the body’s innate intelligence and capacity to heal and return to a balanced, yet dynamic state. Therapeutic wait times between moves provide the nervous system with time to process the sensory information and make adjustments.
The comfort of the client is paramount, therefore when someone is unable to lie down for the treatment, they can lie on their side or remain seated.
*Fascia is the connective tissue surrounding nearly all of the body’s structures: muscle, bone, organs, blood vessels and nerve fibres.
Watch this short video to understand what Bowen Therapy is and how this gentle, non-invasive technique communicates with your body's nervous system. Learn about its power to ease common discomforts. Claire shares about her specialty areas of pregnancy and postpartum, offering holistic support for pelvic health and rebalancing for the whole family.
About your Bowen Therapist
I have had an interest in the human body and physical movement from a young age. During my teenage years, I developed a passion for endurance exercise and continue my love of running, swimming and cycling to this day. As a university student, I began exploring yoga and pilates and went on to study as a Yoga Facilitator and Movement Educator.
I have studied with Bowen Training Australia and have completed the Nationally Recognised Certificate IV in Bowen Therapy 10846NAT. I am a member of the Bowen Association of Australia with a strong commitment to Continual Professional Development.
I welcome people of all ages and stages for Bowen Therapy treatments - Bowen Therapy is a modality that is effective across the lifespan. However, through my journey into parenthood, during which I experienced a pelvic injury which resulted in years of chronic pain, I became particularly interested in pelvic health and now specialise in supporting matrescence: preconception, pregnancy, postpartum and parenting.
Ready to Experience Transformation?
I believe deeply in the transformative power of working with the body’s innate wisdom.
If you or a family member have been feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or in pain, and you're ready to embrace greater ease and autonomy, I invite you to reach out.
Bowen Therapy for Matrescence:
Supporting your journey through Preconception, Pregnancy, Postpartum and Parenting
Easing the load: gentle pelvic support and birth preparation
Bowen Therapy for Pregnancy: Targeted Relief for Pelvic Discomforts and Optimised Birth Position
Pregnancy is an intense period of transformation, where your body undergoes immense physical and energetic shifts. If you're experiencing the familiar discomforts of the perinatal period - especially those nagging pains in the pelvis - Bowen Therapy can offer profound relief. My work is specifically focused on supporting pelvic health during this time. We gently address imbalances that contribute to common barriers like:
Pelvic Girdle Pain (PGP) and Sacroiliac (SI) Joint discomfort.
Lower back stiffness and Sciatica.
Tension that impacts breath and core stability.
General aches, pains, and fatigue
Creating space for optimal foetal positioning helping you prepare for birth.
My approach is entirely non-invasive, ensuring comfort whether you are in your first trimester or preparing to meet your baby. It helps your body integrate the constant changes with ease, supporting your journey towards a more comfortable, autonomous birth experience.
Trauma-informed support for physical and nervous system recovery after birth.
Postpartum Bowen Therapy: Restoring Pelvic Health and Core Balance
The fourth trimester and beyond demand so much from a parent. Whether you are a mum or a parent, your body needs gentle, deliberate support to recover and rebalance after carrying and birthing your baby. Postpartum Bowen Therapy is specifically designed to support this complex phase of healing.
We focus on restoring pelvic health and core balance following pregnancy and birth, whether vaginal or caesarean. By working gently on fascial patterns, we can help reduce pain and improve mobility, supporting your journey towards greater comfort and vitality. Bowen Therapy gently support the body in:
Easing tension held in the shoulders and back from feeding and carrying.
Improving flow through the lymph and breast tissues (which can ease mastitis symptoms).
Addressing underlying stiffness and pain that may have lingered since birth.
Supporting emotional and nervous system regulation to cope with the demands of new parenthood.
Assisting the body with the physical strain that contributes to pelvic issues such as incontinence and prolapse, offering a pathway toward better stability and function.
Remember, investing in your recovery is not selfish - it is foundational to thriving in parenthood.
Honouring the Mother-Baby Dyad: Supporting You Both
I understand that stepping away from your baby for an appointment can feel impossible, and that your wellness is deeply intertwined with your child’s. That’s why I treat the mother-baby dyad as one interconnected system of care.
Babies and children are always welcome at my appointments - we work around their feeding, settling, and play needs to still make your treatment effective.
I offer Baby and Me Consultations where the baby receives a free Bowen treatment when the parent receives one. This ensures both of you can receive the gentle support needed to find harmony together during this significant transition.
This approach acknowledges the reality of your life and ensures you don't have to choose between your self-care and your child's needs.
Easing tension patterns for well-adjusted babies and children
Gentle Bowen Therapy for Babies, Toddlers & Children
It’s truly a privilege to offer this incredibly subtle and effective therapy to my newest and youngest clients. Bowen Therapy for babies and children is all about helping their nervous systems integrate the experience of birth and their early growth stages.
Often, imbalances from the birth process or rapid growth can manifest as common barriers for the whole family, such as:
Torticollis or difficulty turning the head (important for feeding).
Sleep and settling challenges,.
Digestive discomfort (e.g., colic or reflux).
Muscle tightness in active children.
Because the moves are so gentle and brief, children and babies respond beautifully, often relaxing right in the parent's arms.
