Community Bowenwork

This format delivers gentle, hands-on sessions that support your body's natural ability to release tension and restore balance. These sessions work with the fascia and nervous system in a relaxed, communal setting.

Each session includes 45 minutes on a treatment table, with spacious time for rest and integration.

What to Expect from Bowenwork

Bowenwork uses light, precise movements on muscles, tendons, and fascia to help shift the nervous system from a stress response toward rest and recovery. Many people notice reduced pain and improved range of motion immediately after a session. The body continues responding for several days, often bringing deeper sleep, increased energy, and a lasting sense of calm. Because the technique is so gentle, it is appropriate for anyone.

Results from Bowen Work Clients

A woman with chronic migraines since childhood received 14 sessions over four months. By the end, her migraines had stopped completely, her neck pain was gone, and she no longer needed medication.
A man who had used a walker for ten years due to a decades-old back injury regained full mobility after a series of sessions. He no longer uses the walker.
A client with fibromyalgia reported that her overall achiness disappeared. She returned to gardening, long walks, and yard work she had given up years earlier.
A hair stylist with chronic neck and shoulder pain from working with her arms raised all day found more relief after two Bowenwork sessions than she had from years of deep tissue massage.
A woman suffering from sciatica and shingles pain for over a year, with no improvement from physical therapy, estimated both issues were 98% resolved after several sessions. Her allergies, digestion, and sleep also improved.
A client came in crying from back pain and also had chronic arm and shoulder issues. Eleven days later, she had taken only one painkiller and reported no pain in her arms or shoulders.
A man with a shoulder injury that had nagged him for years woke in the night after his first session with intense pain that lasted a couple hours, then never returned. His neck and lower back also improved.

About Alexandra

Alexandra Heiser has been practicing bodywork for over twelve years. Her path began through her own healing. A severe back injury while traveling in Australia led her to receive her first Bowenwork session in 2004. One treatment brought such profound relief that it shaped the course of her life.

She trained as a Licensed Massage Therapist at Port Townsend School of Massage and became a Professional Bowenwork Practitioner at the Seattle Center for Structural Medicine. Her studies include acupressure and Chinese medicine fundamentals with Ching Liu at Downeast School of Massage, Reiki, Polarity Therapy, and ongoing work in Tensegrity Medicine with Kelly Clancy. Most recently, she has immersed herself in polyvagal theory, attachment, and trauma-informed somatic practice with Will Rezin.

Alexandra's background in dance, yoga, and qigong informs everything she does. She brings curiosity, gentleness, and a reverence for the body's innate wisdom to each session.
