Frequently Asked Questions

  • What is Bowen therapy and kinesiology, and how can it benefit me?

    Bowen therapy is a gentle and non-invasive form of bodywork that promotes healing and pain relief through precise movements on specific muscles and soft tissues. Kinesiology, however, focuses on balancing the body's energy system to enhance overall well-being. Both therapies aim to address various health issues, such as musculoskeletal pain, stress, headaches and digestive problems.


  • What areas of women's health do you work in?

    Innovated Wellness with Cathie Barnes offers services tailored to various aspects of women's health, including hormonal imbalances, menstrual issues, fertility concerns, menopause symptoms and postpartum recovery. Our approach combines Bowen therapy, kinesiology and other techniques to address these concerns, promoting hormonal balance, reducing discomfort and supporting overall reproductive health. We offer tailored support for infants and pregnant women to promote optimal health and well-being during these critical stages of life. We address common issues like colic, digestive problems, sleep difficulties, pregnancy discomfort and emotional well-being through gentle techniques such as Bowen therapy, kinesiology and other therapeutic modalities. Our therapies are non-invasive and designed to support infants' and pregnant women's health and development.

  • Are your therapies suitable for everyone, including those with specific medical conditions?

    While our therapies are generally safe and suitable for most individuals, informing our practitioners of any pre-existing medical conditions, injuries, or allergies is important before receiving treatment. This information allows us to tailor our approach and provide suitable care while considering any contraindications. Our practitioner will conduct an initial consultation to inform a safe and appropriate treatment plan for your needs.
