CLAIRE HARRISON

I have had a lifelong interest in horses competing my two horses at riding club, British Eventing and county shows.

I first became interested in Bowen after seeing the effects of the therapy on a particularly anxious intermediate eventer mare. Almost overnight she became much calmer and easier to handle and ride. I was amazed to see how the light-touch of the therapy brought about such a change in her behaviour.

I qualified to treat people in July 2005 and horses in April 2007. This included gaining an Anatomy and Physiology Certificate and First Aid at Work Certificate.
I am a registered member of the Bowen Therapy Professional Association, the European School of Equine Bowen Therapy and the Complementary and Natural Healthcare Council (which approves complementary therapies for use within the NHS). I have continued my education and continuous professional development events include:
