Laura van Tatenhove
Laura van Tatenhove qualified as a Bowen Therapist in 2009 and has since been running a thriving practice in the North West. Her journey with Bowen Therapy began in the 90s during a yoga class when a friend relieved her shoulder pain with a few gentle Bowen moves. This experience sparked a lifelong passion for this transformative therapy.
“My first experience with Bowen was during a yoga class in the 90s when a friend relieved my shoulder pain with a few gentle moves. Years later, after training as a massage therapist, I rediscovered Bowen and fell in love with its subtle yet profound effects.
Bowen brings the whole body together in a way other therapies don’t, emphasising that all systems work together. This realisation deepened my practice and inspired me to teach, helping others improve their health and well-being.”
~ Laura van Tatenhove
Teaching Philosophy and Approach
Laura combines her extensive background in fine art, yoga, and remedial massage therapy to bring a unique perspective to her Bowen practice. With a Masters Degree in Fine Art, years of experience as a Lecturer in Painting, and numerous professional development courses, including human dissection workshops, she has developed a deep understanding of the body.
Laura uses her artistic skills and hands-on experience to create innovative ways of visualising and discussing the human form. She recognises Bowen Therapy as not only effective for various conditions but also as a powerful tool for enhancing body awareness and connection.

What Laura’s Students Say
“I have been undertaking Bowen Therapy with Laura for over three years. I have always found her to be intuitive, knowledgable and respectful. She has helped enormously with respiratory complaints and arthritic pain. I highly recommend her as a Bowen therapist.“
~ Therese Gill
“I had been diagnosed with Morton’s Neuroma and Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, both of which I’d been advised would require surgical intervention. One Bowen session for each of these cleared me of all symptoms and pain.”
