Treatment for M.E.
Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (M.E.) causes severe fatigue and various symptoms, with some finding relief through Bowen Therapy.
Welcome to Feel Bowen
My name is Helen Oldham and I am a holistic therapist based in the midlands with over 20 years experience. I specialise in a therapy known as The Bowen Technique, but also use other therapies such as Yamuna Body Rolling, Kinesio Taping and Reiki to restore my clients back to full health and encourage them to remain there.
The Bowen Technique is a holistic, non invasive hands on therapy. It involves gentle rolling type moves over specific points on muscles, tendons, nerves and fascia. These moves are performed using my thumbs and fingers applying gentle pressure to specific areas. The moves are sequenced together into procedures which in turn makes the treatment work on a deep, dynamic and often profound level.
Bowen can offer relief for many types of injuries and other health problems both acute and chronic, using the body’s innate healing mechanisms.
The Bowen Technique
Bowen is a holistic, non invasive hands on therapy. It involves gentle rolling type ‘moves’ over specific points on muscles, tendons, nerves and fascia. The ‘moves’ are performed using thumbs and fingers applying gentle pressure. The moves are sequenced together into ‘procedures’ which in turn makes the treatment work on a deep, dynamic and often profound level.
Reiki Therapy
I have been a reiki master practitioner for over two decades and it is the loveliest therapy ever. If you want to feel as if you’re wrapped in a warm healing energetic blanket, then this is for you. Reiki is where the therapist, which is me in this instance, channels a universal energy to you the client.
“Reiki energy comes from a Higher Power which exists in a higher dimension than that of the physical world, this is accessed from a transcendental part of ourselves that is connected to an infinite supple of healing energy.” (Reiki.org)
Equine Therapy
Treating horses and ponies is exceptionally rewarding. They give unconditional loyalty, they are our best friends and deserve the absolute best of care. They cannot verbally tell us if they're in pain or discomfort, but if you're aware of changes in their behaviour or they're not moving in a fluid or relaxed way its time to see an animal therapist or veterinary care where necessary.
Yamuna Body Rolling Therapy
Yamuna Body Rolling Therapy is AMAZING. It is extraordinarily effective, and you can get phenomenal results even in your first session. The reason I chose to train in YBR was due to my own personal experience of YBR and how blown away I was about how supple I became just after one session, I had so much more energy and free of aches, pains and stiffness.

Testimonials
My husband Tom has started using Feel Bowen within the last couple of months, the treatments received have made a significant change, putting him back in alignment and rectifying a specific injury and pain source. We would highly recommend 👍👍👍
I have been going to Helen for years. There was a period of time when I was living away and I tried other therapists, none came close to being as effective as my treatments with Helen. She has eliminated discomfort in problem errors and improved my posture and mobility in areas I didn't even know I was struggling.
She is incredibly professional but also warm and welcoming, I cannot recommend her highly enough.
She has also recently decorated her treatment room... its a really gorgeous space to spend time in!
I had Bowen Therapy for my Rotator Cuff Injury.
The result was a dramatic improvement in the condition after just one session with Helen. It took a few weeks for the body to heal but I went from using oral and topical pain killers 3 times a day to having used them maybe twice in 3 months.
The experience with Helen was very pleasant and I was still feeling the effects many weeks afterwards. It is recommended to have around 4 treatments with a Rotator Cuff injury so I have just booked to see Helen again and am very confident that I will enjoy a further improvement in my condition.
