Claire McCarthy
Claire McCarthy is a professionally qualified Complementary Health Therapist based in Sussex and London, with over 20 years of experience. She has treated clients with a wide range of conditions and is one of the most experienced Bowen practitioners in the South East.
“My Bowen journey really started about 16, 17 years ago. I was already practicing as a complementary health therapist, and at the end of my working day, treating people with massage and reflexology, I found myself doubled up in pain. Luckily, one of my colleagues was a Bowen therapist, and after a 20-minute treatment, I was able to drive home and eventually carry on working.
Bowen Therapy has been an absolute asset to my clinic and has inspired me to teach and help others improve their health and well-being.”
