About Sue
The human body is amazing and I find it absolutely fascinating!
My bodywork journey started initially in massage and aromatherapy but I now specialise in Bowen, Emmett Technique and ScarWork treatments. During my career, I have found that there is not one therapy that works for everyone all of the time. For this reason, I personalise each treatment using the appropriate techniques to get to the root cause of your issues. I find that it is this approach that gives the best results for pain relief.
Training in Bowen Therapy in 2009 proved to be a huge turning point in my career as it was through this technique that I realised that the body releases and relaxes more under GENTLE pressure. Your body has an innate ability to heal itself but sometimes it just needs a helping hand and I find that there is no need to 'go in heavy' & that the gentle approach can ease all sorts of pain and discomfort such as back and neck ache.
The improvements that I have seen through the gentle approach of Bowen inspired me to study the amazing Emmett Technique which quite honestly has blown me and many of my clients away with its gentle yet incredible ability to benefit conditions such as sciatica. It's just SO exciting!
ScarWork is another example of the power of the gentle touch. Having three abdominal scars myself, I know the huge effect they can have on the body, such as restricting movement. Often, however, people are unaware that some pain that they are struggling with, can be due to a scar..no matter how long ago it occurred. It is generally only once a scar has been gently worked on that people realise the impact it had been having on them.
The more I learn about the human body, the more I want to know. I am passionate about relieving pain naturally and love supporting clients who prefer the gentle touch to help their back and neck pain as well as many other conditions and restore balance within their body. I am very proud to say that I have helped people avoid surgery using these amazing techniques.

Sue's Clients Say:
"When I contacted Amaranth in search of a Bowen Therapist I was in such pain that I was unable to climb the stairs normally. Sue's gentle "hands on" exploration quickly identified an underlying back problem which I was at first in denial about.
"Within twenty four hours of my first treatment I was amazed to find I could walk and climb the stairs normally. Before my next treatment I kept a daily record of changes, energy levels and pain to help Sue assess my needs and it was during this period I felt twinges in my lower back which reminded me of the previous back injury that Sue had identified!"
"I had four treatments in all which left me completely pain free. The therapy involved gentle movements on precise points of the body which I found very relaxing. Additionally Sue was able to treat and improve other movement and pain issues my aging body was experiencing. Fantastic result - thanks Sue."
"I had been suffering from a painful shoulder for about 6 months and had visited my regular osteopath but without success. Two sessions of Bowen with Sue however, cured the problem. It didn't seem as though she did very much but she obviously did something!! What I like about the Bowen Technique is how gentleness of the movements. I found that nothing was aggravated and I suffered no negative after effects at all." Female aged 48
"My eleven year old daughter gets great enjoyment from sport but has had to take breaks of several weeks at a time resting an acutely painful ankle. For two years she suffered this recurring problem. On the recommendation of a friend, I took her to Sue Bowden for Bowen therapy. My daughter was somewhat amused by the treatment initially and found some of the moves quite ticklish. I found Sue's warm approach very reassuring and the environment very calm and relaxing. After three treatments my daughter was completely pain-free and six months after the end of treatment she has not had a recurrence".
"While I was willing to give Bowen a try I did not expect to get such lasting results from such a short period of treatment. Thank you so much".
"Recently I received a gift voucher for two sessions of Bowen therapy with Sue. I went along to my first appointment, not sure what to expect. For some years, I had suffered with weak wrists which made it difficult to open jars, turn on taps and carry heavy bags of shopping. To be honest I had accepted it as something I just had to live with, but even after the first treatment I could feel an improvement. I had three treatments in total and I can only say that the change to my life is amazing".
"In the scheme of things, weak wrists is not a huge problem but when it is put right you realise what a burden it has been. I still find it incredible that the treatment which was so gentle and non-invasive has had such powerful results. Thank you Sue. I could not have asked for a more perfect outcome.",
