About Jacqui
My Bowen journey began 12 years ago when I injured my back playing netball. Previously, both my husband and father had experienced success with Bowen so I decided to try it myself. Although initially skeptical, I was genuinely impressed by the profound effects such a gentle treatment could have.
Coming from a long involvement in both farming and sport, my body was compromised.I found that by having regular Bowen treatments I had less pain, more energy and generally felt better-I wanted to know more!
In 2012 I became a Bowen practitioner through Fascial Kinetics and established a clinic in rural East Otago. Bowen has shown me that, not only does it address a wide range of injuries and conditions, but when used regularly as a maintenance treatment it enables our bodies to function at their optimum so injuries are less likely to occur and symptoms less prevalent.
Professional development is an area that I identify as being crucial and over the past 9 years I have continued to develop my depth of knowledge through ongoing education on the integral role fascia plays within our bodies.

Dogs have always played a huge part in my life. I have worked with them all of my life on the farm (both working and pets) and as a Veterinary Nurse in a rural practice for 8 years, specialising in small animals.
Canine Bowen then, was always going to be a natural progression for me, combining both of my passions, Bowen and Dogs.
I completed ISBTs (International School of Bowen Therapy) Canine Bowen Training in Melbourne 2017 and was proud to become their first New Zealand Canine Bowen Practitioner. In 2018 I was given the opportunity to assist at a Level 3/4 Training course in Wellington.
In 2019 we moved to a lifestyle block in Bannockburn (Cromwell), Central Otago and my treatment room is now situated in a peaceful, rural environment, adding to your Bowen experience.
“Bowen treatments for our dog Dougal have helped him with pain relief and stiffness. I personally find Bowen helps me release stress, and reduces aches and pain. I have a greater range of movement after treatments. Jacqui is an outstanding practitioner and has not only a wealth of experience and knowledge but intuitiveness with magic hands.”

“Both my dog Peggy and myself have experienced the very professional services of Jacqui from Bowen Central.
Jacqui’s bowen techniques gave us relief from muscle tension. Peggy after cruciate surgery and for me – neck pain.
I would not hesitate to recommend her services“
