Alexandra Worsley
Sue Bowden
I have always been interested in medical issues and initially I trained at Bristol Dental Hospital as a Dental nurse and then as a Dental Hygienist. I loved the patient contact but was beginning to feel frustrated at the lack of change. Eight years later an opportunity arose enabling me to take the plunge and immerse myself into the fascinating world of complementary medicine. I have never looked back.
I trained in massage and aromatherapy at the Hygeia School of Holistic Therapy, increasing my skills further with a sports massage qualification whilst gaining experience for two years working in a busy clinic in south Manchester.
When children came along I became a full time Mum and of course it was also the perfect time to train and indulge in the mutual benefits of Baby Massage. During this time I also gained a Teaching qualification which would enable me to teach this wonderful therapy to other parents.
Before joining the team at Alexandra Worsley, I spent 3 years running a clinic in a gym environment where I gained much satisfaction from building relationships with my regular clients as I helped them with their aches and pains.
During this time I was becoming increasingly aware of a new therapy which had come over from Australia called Bowen Therapy. This was having some impressive results with a variety of conditions for which I had not been able to help my clients. So in 2008 I trained in this gentle therapy which is becoming increasingly popular as people realise the benefits of ‘less is more’. I am constantly amazed at its results.
I love my work because it fits in around my family life so I feel that I can give my full attention to my clients when I am working. I love meeting people and feel very privileged at the trust they put in me to help them and when someone says “I feel so much better….” what better job satisfaction could there be?

Sue's Clients Say:
"I had been suffering from a painful shoulder for about 6 months and had visited my regular osteopath but without success. Two sessions of Bowen with Sue however, cured the problem. It didn't seem as though she did very much but she obviously did something!! What I like about the Bowen Technique is how gentleness of the movements. I found that nothing was aggravated and I suffered no negative after effects at all." Female aged 48
"My eleven year old daughter gets great enjoyment from sport but has had to take breaks of several weeks at a time resting an acutely painful ankle. For two years she suffered this recurring problem. On the recommendation of a friend, I took her to Sue Bowden for Bowen therapy. My daughter was somewhat amused by the treatment initially and found some of the moves quite ticklish. I found Sue's warm approach very reassuring and the environment very calm and relaxing. After three treatments my daughter was completely pain-free and six months after the end of treatment she has not had a recurrence.
While I was willing to give Bowen a try I did not expect to get such lasting results from such a short period of treatment. Thank you so much.
Recently I received a gift voucher for two sessions of Bowen therapy with Sue. I went along to my first appointment, not sure what to expect. For some years, I had suffered with weak wrists which made it difficult to open jars, turn on taps and carry heavy bags of shopping. To be honest I had accepted it as something I just had to live with, but even after the first treatment I could feel an improvement. I had three treatments in total and I can only say that the change to my life is amazing.
In the scheme of things, weak wrists is not a huge problem but when it is put right you realise what a burden it has been. I still find it incredible that the treatment which was so gentle and non-invasive has had such powerful results. Thank you Sue. I could not have asked for a more perfect outcome."
