Bowen Therapy for Babies
Given the gentle nature of Joana’s treatment, both Bowen and the EMMETT Technique are exceptionally well-suited for babies and children, who typically respond more rapidly to these treatments compared to adults.
Our therapy can provide relief and support for issues such as birth trauma, digestive concerns like colic, feeding and breastfeeding challenges, sleep difficulties, teething discomfort, stress, neck restrictions, and bladder problems, including bed-wetting in older children.
After Birth Recovery
Post-Natal Care for Mothers
Bowen Therapy and the EMMETT Technique are invaluable tools for aiding your body's recovery after pregnancy. These neuromuscular therapies stimulate the nervous system to reset, facilitating the release of stored trauma within muscle memory and assisting your body in its journey back to balance.
In addition to alleviating pain, Joana’s sessions can contribute to hormonal balance, stress reduction, the restoration of pelvic floor health, and even support optimal milk production for an improved breastfeeding experience.
If you've had a Caesarean (commonly referred to as a C-Section), you might experience discomfort in your scar area. It's not uncommon for the scar to create a sensation of pulling, potentially leading to discomfort in other areas of your body, including the chest, back, and pelvic floor. Have a look how joana can help with scar therapy.
In certain cases, women who have had epidurals may experience added tightness around the muscles where the epidural was applied. Bowen Therapy can help release tension and restore your body to a state of balance.
Allow Joana's Bowen Therapy to accompany you on your pregnancy and post-natal journey, providing the nurturing support and care your body truly deserves during this remarkable time of your life.
