Bowen Therapy with Teena

02/11/2026

With the warmer weather arriving, many of us start spending more time outdoors. Gardening, walking, getting stuck into jobs around the house or simply doing a little more than we've done over winter. Plus trying to get to all our weeds (which I am not succeeding with)

Sometimes, though, our bodies remind us that we've been a bit too enthusiastic!

You might notice a stiff back after gardening, tight shoulders after a day of outdoor jobs, or an ache that wasn't there before.

It's easy to push through and keep going, but it's also worth paying attention to what your body is telling you.

Bowen Therapy is a gentle hands-on technique using precise moves over muscles and fascia.

Rather than simply focusing on the area where you feel discomfort, Bowen takes a whole-body approach.

Sometimes a little time to slow down and look after yourself is just what you need.

With spring in the air, it's a lovely time to freshen things up around the house.

One of my favourites for this time of year is doTERRA Purify. This fresh, clean-smelling blend combines Lemon Peel, Siberian Fir Needle, Citronella Grass, Lime Peel, Melaleuca (Tea Tree) Leaf and Cilantro Herb essential oils.

There are plenty of ways to enjoy Purify around your home:

• Diffuse it to bring a fresh aroma to any room using 3-4 drops.
• Freshen up smaller spaces or your car by placing a few drops on a cotton ball.
• Add 5 drops to a small spray bottle of water, shake well and use to wipe down suitable benchtops.
• Add a few drops to your laundry rinse cycle for a fresh-smelling wash.

Whether you're doing a spring clean or simply want to freshen up your space, Purify is a lovely addition to your spring routine.

Do you enjoy changing things up around the house when spring arrives?

What spring looks like for me.

I'm loving these sunny days and getting out and about with our dog, especially taking him down to the beach.

There’s something about the longer days and having more sunshine that makes me feel more alive. I seem to have more energy, feel like doing more and just enjoy being outside so much more.

Although, here around Albany, the weather still can't quite make up its mind! We get these lovely sunny, warm days and think winter must finally be behind us. Then the nights turn cold, the rain rolls in, the yard fills up with puddles and the fire goes on again! You almost need to keep your summer clothes and winter woollies handy at the same time.

After the cooler, wetter months, it’s lovely to feel that change in the seasons, even if spring is keeping us guessing a little longer.

Spring is always a lovely time of year for me, but as we head towards summer, we're getting closer to my favourite time of the year!

I'm looking forward to more beach trips, sunny days and getting outside whenever I can.

What about you? Is spring behaving itself where you are, or is your weather having a bit of an identity crisis too?

Every Bowen Therapist has heard it:

"𝘽𝙪𝙩 𝙢𝙮 𝙨𝙝𝙤𝙪𝙡𝙙𝙚𝙧 𝙞𝙨 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙥𝙧𝙤𝙗𝙡𝙚𝙢..."

Sometimes it is.

Sometimes it isn't.

The body is an extraordinary network of interconnected systems, constantly adapting to movement, stress, previous injuries, hormones, habits and daily life.

Bowen Therapy invites us to look beyond the obvious, appreciate those connections, and work with the body as the integrated whole it has always been.

That little niggle you've been putting up with?

Maybe it hasn't been bad enough to do anything about. You work around it, put up with it and get on with your day.

Then spring arrives. You're doing more gardening, walking a bit further or getting back to jobs you haven't tackled for months, and suddenly that niggle is making itself known!

It's easy to keep pushing through, especially when there's always something else to do.

But it's worth paying attention to what your body is telling you, rather than waiting until it's really stopping you from doing the things you enjoy.

Bowen Therapy is a gentle treatment that may be worth considering if you're dealing with ongoing aches, pains or tension.

You don't have to wait until you're really struggling to give your body some attention.

If something has been bothering you, feel free to get in touch and have a chat.

Spring seems to bring a new burst of energy, doesn't it?

The garden needs attention, there are jobs to catch up on, the weather is lovely and suddenly we want to fit everything in!

But I'm also reminding myself that it's okay to slow down and take a breather. We don't have to fill every minute just because the days are getting longer.

One of my favourite oils for those quieter moments is doTERRA Lavender Peace.

I love its gentle, calming aroma in the diffuser, especially when I'm ready to wind down at the end of the day and leave the jobs for tomorrow.

Sometimes it's the simple little things that help make home feel like a place to relax and recharge.

So while you're enjoying all that spring has to offer, don't forget to make a little time for yourself too.

Are you good at slowing down, or are you more of a “I'll just finish one more thing” person like me?

It always makes my day when a client takes the time to leave a review.

Thank you so much for your lovely words and 5-star review!

It means a lot to know that you felt comfortable and relaxed during your Bowen session, and that you left feeling better, with your lower back pain gone and your body feeling less tight.

One of the things I love about Bowen is that it’s a gentle treatment. There’s no hard pressure or need to push through discomfort.

Everyone comes to Bowen for different reasons, but being able to get back to everyday life feeling more comfortable is what matters.

Thank you again for taking the time to share your experience and for trusting me with your care. I really appreciate it.

Does your search history look a bit like this?

• Why is my neck stiff?
• Why does my back hurt?
• Why am I always tired?

Many people wait until discomfort has become impossible to ignore before looking for help.

But what if you didn't have to wait?

Bowen Therapy is often used by people who want to support their body's movement, recovery and overall wellbeing — not just when something goes wrong.

Sometimes the best search result is the one that helps you start listening to your body sooner.

More movement doesn't have to mean more exercise.

When we talk about moving more, it's easy to think about going to the gym, starting a fitness program or going for long walks.

But movement can be much simpler than that.

It's pottering around in the garden, walking to the letterbox, playing with the kids or grandkids, getting outside for some fresh air, or just getting up and moving about a little more during the day.

And with spring here, there are plenty of reasons to get outdoors again!

Of course, if you're living with pain, even these everyday things can feel harder than they should. You might find yourself avoiding certain activities because you know you'll pay for it afterwards.

The goal isn't to push through the pain or suddenly do everything at once. It's about finding ways to keep moving that work for you, and gradually building up as you're able.

This is part of how I look at Bowen Therapy, too. Rather than focusing only on the spot that hurts, I look at the body as a whole and how I can support it.

Because sometimes it's not about doing more exercise. It's about being able to do more of the everyday things you enjoy.

What's one simple thing you enjoy doing that gets you moving?
