These sessions are generally 45-60 minutes, and take place in a quiet office. Clients lay on a massage table or in a chair.  All work is done with the client's clothes on.   The Bowen practitioner applies gentle, rolling techniques, applied with the thumbs or fingers.  After a few touches, the practitioner will leave the room, and allow a client's body to adjust to the changes that have been made.  

​

It's usually advisable to have 3 or 4 sessions, each within a week or 10 days of each other, to start.  After that, each person decides how often they want to return, to continue the positive effects they've achieved.

MSTR is a unique gentle technique that reorders and releases scar tissue.  MSTR is not painful, even if the scar is uncomfortable.  The work is done within a client's comfort level, with breaks taken as the session goes along. Many kinds of scars are improved with MSTR.

Benefits of MSTR:  

• increased flexibility

• reduced pain around the scar site and connected parts of the body,

• increased confidence

• release of connected emotions.
