BOWEN THERAPY
Bowen Therapy is a holistic form of body work where very gentle moves are performed over the muscles and connective tissue. This triggers the body to stimulate the nervous system’s regulating capacity, empowering the body’s own resources to heal itself.

TESTIMONIALS...
The weekly pilates sessions with Marie are enabling me to stay more flexible and to maintain a higher level of fitness than I would have expected at my age (78). We have a lot of fun in the sessions as the other people who go are very friendly. It's a nice atmosphere and the new facility is just great. Marie's husband has done an amazing job. I can't recommend this business highly enough.
I have been doing Pilates for over a year now with Marie who is a beautiful person inside and out. Very caring and passionate in what she does. I am very happy with the results I am getting with using the Reformers and Mat. Highly recommend Breathe Life of Wellness ❤️
I have been attending Marie's Pilates sessions for the past few months and have thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Marie is an exceptional instructor - genuinely empathic, attentive, and highly accommodating. She tailors the classes to suit a wide range of abilities, ages and specific needs, providing personalised support. After an extended break from exercise, Marie has helped me regain my confidence and rebuild my strength at a steady, sustainable pace. I highly recommend your classes to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and caring Pilates Instructor!
“My stutter has improved since having Bowen.”
“My sinuses have completely cleared already, and we’re only half way through the treatment!”
Bowen is gentle yet effective, and for me is almost a weekly indulgence. I found the effect of the treatments may vary, but the constant is the amazing feeling of TOTAL RELAXATION after each and every session. The benefits I get out of Bowen are unbelievable. Thankyou so much Marie
I was diagnosed with osteoarthritis in my right hip in the sacrum area quite a few years back. There were times I could not walk the pain was so bad. I have been attending Marie’s Pilates classes for nearly 4 years now, and the benefit to my hip is just amazing. I can honestly say that I have not had any pain in I don’t know how long. The slow, core strengthening exercises are just what I needed. I am so glad I have found a beneficial exercise routine that I actually enjoy and benefit from at the same time!
I've been doing Pilates with Marie for about 3 years now. Her dedication to her clients and their wellbeing is phenomenal. I suffer frequent migraines, and Marie has worked very closely with me to tailor my program for optimal outcomes. Could not recommend Breathe Pilates highly enough.
After 4 Bowen treatments my lower back pain from disc bulges has gone and I’m off my pain relief medications. Its amazing to be able to do dishes, cook, walk and play with my kids with no pain
“My daughters blemishes have cleared since she’s been using Grace.” (Tea Tree Cleanse, 95% Aloe Hydrating Gel). "
I came to Marie for Bowen Therapy for some help with back pain. After the treatment the benefit I felt in my body was far beyond what I expected. It helped me with so much more than just my back pain... I've had some of the best sleeps I've had in 15 years after struggling every single night with sleep... I've been able to come off medication for digestion. For the past 15 years I had constant stomach aches especially after eating. After 1 treatment this cleared up completely and I haven't felt sick since! And after 2 treatments my chronic back and neck pain is at least 10 times better and I'm moving much more freely in general!
Bowen's Bloody Brilliant! I've had no pain in my back since the last treatment!
I joined Breath Life of Wellness Pilates in early January 2025 with a lot of trepidation. Whilst I had used Marie's fantastic Bowen therapy services before, I wasn't sure if I was going to able to physically cope with learning Pilates. Marie immediately put me at ease during my first session. She took careful note of my previous injury issues. My body has suffered a lot of wear and tear over the years playing tennis and basketball at a competitive level and also from some significant accidents. I was also still recovery from a significant concussion trauma and was very limited with what exercises I was doing. In addition, I had been dealing with consistent iliotibial band (ITB) syndrome in both legs since late 2021. The ITB syndrome had gotten so bad I could barely walk down 4 steps without being in significant pain and I could no longer do a basic standing lunge after having done lunges regularly in the gym for many years. Even squatting low enough to clean my shower was becoming difficult. I also could not perform certain basic stretches I used to do regularly including a basic standing quadriceps stretch. I could barely lift myself up out of bed some days with significant back pain too. I had tried several sports therapy specialist doctors and physiotherapists but had noticed very little improvement. So at the suggestion of my sister, I gave Pilates a try. Slowly each Pilates session I noticed improvement with my strength and flexibility and gradually being able to add extra movements into the Pilates routine as I continued to improve. I've now made amazing progress. Whilst my ITB syndrome is not completely resolved it has significantly improved. I can now walk down a large number of steps and downhill without pain. I can even run again without pain. I can do a basic lunge again with ease. My flexibility has improved significantly. I can now do every stretch I used to do including the standing quadriceps stretch. I can now lift myself up with ease and my abdominal strength has improved dramatically. I can now even squat down low enough again to clean my shower easily! I can now do all but one of the Pilates movements. I am excited about the continued improvement I can make. I wish I had tried Pilates a lot earlier. Not only is it a great workout, I find Marie's teaching methods, the music, the focus on breathing quite meditative as well. Thank you Marie for helping to breathe life back into me when I had almost lost all hope!
