ECBS: European College of Bowen Studies  "I have been very impressed with all my dealings with E.C.B.S. – responsive, professional and informative."
Krystyna M Until 1994, the Bowen Technique was practically unknown in the UK and it was only through the efforts of Julian Baker and Louise Atwill that this Therapy ballooned in popularity and interest. After introducing the Bowen Technique to the UK with Ossie Rentsch, Julian and Louise decided the training structure needed to be completely re-designed and formalised. They set about founding and organising the European College of Bowen Studies (ECBS) and, in order to formalise the professionalism of Bowen Technique, also set up the Bowen Therapists European Register, Europe’s largest Bowen organisation. The aim of all this was to set up a system and environment where Therapists could train and become proficient in their skills. Structure was given to the training with distinct levels and goals to be achieved and a Standard attained that would be recognised throughout the World. This Standard also allowed Bowen Technique to start being recognised as a primary care tool rather than an alternative to mainstream health care. Again, Julian and Louise were instrumental in bringing Bowen to the attention of health professionals and raising its profile within care organisations. Bowen is now widely used in hospitals, surgeries and physiotherapy environments where its value has been fully recognised as a care aid. Students undertaking ECBS training will enter a formalised, structured and proven environment where progression is logical and easily understood. Throughout the training there is unsurpassed support from the tutors and ECBS head office ensuring that students have every opportunity to train to their full potential. The structure of the course enables students, if they wish, to move from one venue or tutor to another to ensure that their studies and training run smoothly alongside busy lifestyles. With this in mind Jo always runs courses at weekends to give maximum opportunity for study with minimum disruption of work. After qualifying there are many postgraduate courses to choose from. See the Courses directory for full details of courses available with Jo. Successful completion of the training results in the Certificate of Proficiency, a recognised qualification accepted by leading insurance companies. ECBS is registered with and is a member of BCMA, IGPP and has professional links with the College of Chiropractors. It is also recognised CPD (Continued Professional Development) with the Physiotherapists Association. All ECBS teachers have undertaken intensive teacher training in Bowen and are fully qualified to pass on the ECBS Syllabus. Teachers also participate in regular training and social weekends that allow them to pass on new knowledge, build a solid support network amongst themselves and ensure that they are the best trained teachers of Bowen Technique anywhere in the World.  “I just want ECBS to know how much I rate the school for professionalism, friendliness and the highest level of teaching. Having trained in many other therapies, ECBS was by far the best standard of teaching by a mile”
