Meet the Tutor: Amanda Philipe-Savage – Transforming Lives with Bowen Therapy

by | Jul 23, 2024 | Amanda Philipe-Savage, Meet The Tutor | 0 comments

Amanda Philipe-Savage, a dedicated Complementary Health Therapist, has been transforming lives through her holistic practice since 1994. With a rich background in various complementary therapies and a personal journey that underscores her commitment to healing, Amanda stands out as an inspiring figure in the world of Bowen Therapy.

Amanda’s Journey with Bowen Therapy

Amanda’s introduction to Bowen Therapy was a turning point in her career and personal health journey. She recalls, “My journey with Bowen started about 15 years ago, maybe more. I had shoulder surgery and a really bad neck afterwards. I found a Bowen therapist who resolved my neck and knee problems, and I just felt more invigorated generally.” This experience ignited her interest in Bowen Therapy and led her to pursue formal training in 2010.

Her training journey was not without challenges. Amanda shares, “After one course, I had a major car accident that ended up causing paralysis in both arms and an injury to my lower back. It was Bowen that got me functioning again. So, it really was a testament to what I was doing.” Despite these setbacks, Amanda’s determination to heal herself and help others never wavered.

From Practitioner to Educator

Amanda’s passion for Bowen Therapy naturally progressed into teaching. In 2019, she seized the opportunity to train at Bowen College UK. “Teaching to me is imparting the knowledge and experience that I’ve had along the way. It’s not just about teaching the technique; it’s about giving all of the information I’ve received over the years with different clients, different respect and benefits of it. So I’m able to share all of that information to give hope as well,” Amanda explains.

Her teaching philosophy is rooted in a comprehensive approach to Bowen Therapy, emphasising not just protocols but a holistic understanding of the body. “Training with Bowen College UK gives you a comprehensive education in Bowen Therapy. It’s not just about learning protocols; it’s about meridian therapy because you’re crossing all of the meridians when you’re applying the moves. It’s a balanced diet and nutrition. It’s about anatomy, physiology, and pathology, and of course the muscle system as well,” Amanda says.

Teaching at Bowen College UK

Amanda is integral to the Bowen College UK team, where she teaches both the Introductory and Certification courses. Her extensive experience and compassionate approach make her an invaluable mentor to new and experienced therapists alike. Amanda believes in creating a supportive learning environment that fosters growth and confidence in her students.

She emphasises, “Training in Bowen Therapy for the introductory course would enable you to help your friends and family, relieve pain, relieve stress, promote healing, and promote well-being generally. If you love receiving Bowen and then you love giving Bowen to your family and friends, you can go on and train at a professional level to become a practitioner, and it has such a bigger scope.”

The Emotional Transformation Course

Amanda’s dedication to holistic healing is evident in her latest CPD course, Emotional Transformation. This course is designed to help therapists connect more deeply with their clients by mastering their own healing. Amanda created this course to provide practical and comprehensive tools for genuine healing, addressing the whole person. “I created the Emotional Transformation course to provide therapists with practical and comprehensive tools for genuine healing. This course is for anyone who feels the weight of their clients’ stories and wishes to connect with them on a deeper level,” Amanda shares.
