Claire SandyI am an experienced holistic therapist based in Ruislip specialising in the Bowen technique and holistic massage. I draw my clients from the West London and Ruislip area and have my own treatment room in Ruislip, which has free parking outside and is easily accessible by both tube and bus. I am also happy to offer treatments in peoples homes if mobility is an issue within the local or surrounding areas.
Bowen treats the whole person, not just the symptom and promotes general realignment of the body, it has a remarkable record of success in speedily resolving and preventing a wide range of conditions. There is no person that cannot be treated safely using Bowen, even babies, the elderly and throughout pregnancy. The treatment can be carried out through lightweight clothing.
What is Bowen?The Bowen Technique moves that I use involve light pressure and rolling on exact points of your body’s muscles, ligaments and tendons. The combination of moves allow me to target either a specific problem or the whole body. This process releases energy, which helps me to initiate the healing process by relieving your body’s tension and reducing pain. The frequent pauses between the moves allows the body time to reset, respond and benefit.
What can I expect from the treatment?The treatment is unique in that it is gentle, subtle and relaxing and a few treatments at weekly intervals can often be sufficient to achieve lasting relief from even long standing pain, even those people who have no physical pain can benefit from increased energy and the ability to cope with life no matter what is thrown at them!
I take a full medical history before the first treatment and treatments usually last between 45 minutes and 1 hour.
The treatment can also be carried out through lightweight clothing or directly onto skin whilst wearing undergarments.

Bowen is also fantastic for boosting the immune system, re-energising the body and the drainage of the lymphatic system that can be so beneficial for so many cancer sufferers and the fantastic thing is that there are no contra indications, as there is with many other alternative therapies.
An increasing number of sports professionals are treated with Bowen for chronic conditions, muscle pain, imbalance and fatigue. It helps to maximise their potential.
About ClaireI have always wanted to work in a caring capacity and help to improve the quality of peoples lives. I loved working as a massage therapist both at a busy London airport and also from home but became frustrated that although I knew massage was great for people with physical conditions , I didn’t really feel that massage offered substantial long term benefits for those who were feeling run down from illness or injury, stressed, depressed or in the most severe cases mentally ill or suffering from diseases like cancer.
I became interested in the Bowen technique when a close relative began working as a Bowen therapist and I immediately booked myself onto the course when I experienced first hand how the treatment can change your life both physically and emotionally.
