Develop your practice
and confidence with
our training.
Our training and seminars are designed to support greater clarity, confidence, and understanding through structured, assessment-led teaching grounded in real clinical experience.
Take what you know further.
IOS Bowen training is designed for qualified Bowen practitioners who want to develop their understanding beyond the procedures they already know.
You don't need to start again.
Instead, you'll build on your existing Bowen training, learning procedures that may appear familiar but differ in their positioning, angle, direction or holding point. These subtle differences can significantly change the effect of a move and how it relates to the wider principles of the work.
Alongside this, you'll develop your understanding of what you're feeling and learn how assessment can guide your treatment.
What makes IOS Bowen different?
Assessment-led
Assessment helps determine what you work on, rather than simply following the same sequence for every client.
Measureable
Reassessment allows you to observe changes throughout treatment and understand whether what you've done has made a difference.
Palpation-focused
Developing your ability to feel, identify and understand changes in tissue is central to the approach.
Continually Developing
The work gives you the opportunity to learn from every client and continue refining your practice over time.
Practical
Theory is brought to life through demonstrations, supervised practice and working together in small groups.
Precisely Applied
Subtle differences in how IOS Bowen procedures are applied can influence key dural attachment sites and acupuncture points.

Interested in developing their practice further
Two days of learning, practice and demonstration.
Our core IOS Bowen seminar is delivered over two days.
You'll spend time learning the theory, watching demonstrations and putting your understanding into practice through hands-on work.
You'll work in small groups, with instructors available to observe, answer questions and help you develop your practical skills.
The emphasis is on learning by doing — with plenty of opportunity to ask questions and explore what you're feeling.
Development doesn't stop here.
The collective is also developing focused development seminars for practitioners who want to revisit particular aspects of the work without repeating the full IOS Bowen seminar.
These may include focused days around specific areas, assessment, screening patterns or practical palpation skills.
