What to Expect at Your Appointment

A Calm and Relaxed Experience

At Body Remedies, every appointment helps you feel relaxed, supported and informed. From the moment you arrive, I focus on creating a calm environment where your body can begin to unwind. We’ll start with a short chat about your health, lifestyle and goals so your treatment is tailored specifically to you.

How to Prepare

Before your session, try to increase your water intake. Staying well hydrated helps your body process and release the changes that follow treatment. Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothes and, if possible, allow yourself a little quiet time afterwards. This will help your body integrate the work more effectively.

What to Expect During Bowen Therapy

Bowen Therapy is performed over light clothing, so you can stay fully dressed throughout the session. The technique uses gentle, rolling moves over muscles, tendons and fascia to encourage your body to rebalance naturally. During the session, I make small, precise movements on specific areas of your body, followed by short pauses. These breaks give your body time to respond and begin the healing process. Many people feel deeply relaxed, warm or sleepy as their body resets. A Bowen session usually lasts around 30–45 minutes. You may notice subtle changes immediately, while other improvements continue to unfold over the next few days as your body realigns.

What to Expect During Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD)

Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) works differently from Bowen. Because it uses light, rhythmic hand movements directly on the skin, I’ll ask you to disrobe to your comfort level. You’ll always remain draped respectfully with towels, and I only uncover the area being worked on. The treatment feels soothing and almost meditative. Many clients describe a sense of lightness or warmth as their circulation improves. After your session, it’s especially important to drink plenty of water to help your body flush away toxins and support its natural detox process. An MLD session typically lasts between 60 and 75 minutes, depending on your needs.

After Your Appointment

After either Bowen or MLD, you may feel relaxed, calm or even a little sleepy. Some clients experience mild tiredness or stiffness as their body adjusts. Try to avoid strenuous activity for the rest of the day and continue drinking water to stay hydrated. You may also notice that your sleep improves, your body feels lighter, and tension begins to ease over the following days.

Your Comfort Comes First

Every client at Body Remedies receives care, respect and full attention. Whether you’re visiting for pain relief, post-operative recovery or deep relaxation, you can expect a professional, nurturing experience that supports both body and mind.
