Meet Your Therapist

My name is Sonia Barton and I trained in the Bowen Technique with the European College of Bowen Studies in 2001. In 2003 I qualified in NST (Neurostructural Integration Technique).

I ran my own therapy clinic in Oxford for three years offering Bowen Technique (or Bowen Therapy), NST, Massage, Reflexology and Reiki healing. I now live and work on the Northern Beaches in Sydney.

I am a member of the Bowen Therapists Federation of Australia (BTFA).

Although I have extensive background with various physical therapies and hands-on modalities, the Bowen Technique and NST have radically influenced my therapeutic approach and together they are the major therapeutic tool that I use in my clinic.

I recently qualified in the Emmett Technique, which blends in perfectly with Bowen or can be used as a therapy in itself. It is a gentle physical release of muscle groups whilst using a verbal approach to create attitude change. The sequence of muscle activation points can unlock muscle memory. The results can be dramatic even for first time clients.

Tom Bowen's Concept of Healing

His main principle and belief was that the body is able to heal itself. He believed that good medicine was to assist the body's natural ability to repair and regulate itself and that bodily dysfunction were the result of disturbances in the tissues. His underlying assumption was that structure governs function, and that disturbances of structure in whatever tissue within the body will lead to disturbances of functioning in that structure and, in turn, of the function of the body as a whole. His goal was to restore the structural integrity in the body in order to restore its optimum function.
