Linda started work in the Health Service in 1976. She qualified as a Nurse to care for people with learning difficulties (RNMH) in 1981. This was soon followed by General Nurse training (RGN 1983).

‘There was a gap in my understanding and knowledge so I decided to do something about it.’

Until she started Midwifery training in 1990 her time was spent having a family, relocating to North Yorkshire and working between the two nursing professions.

‘I always wanted to be a midwife, but the opportunity didn’t arise until much later in my career.’

Linda continues as a midwife today. Over the last 10 years, she has completed a teaching qualification and also trained as an Ultrasonographer and latterly as a Bowen Therapist. It was whilst teaching (midwifery) that she came across Bowen. A midwife colleague was a trained therapist and she was using Bowen to help pregnant women with back-pain.

‘There is very little anyone can do to help women if they are struggling in pregnancy, so Bowen Therapy was a breakthrough for me.’
The rest is history. As a Bowen Therapist and Practitioner, Linda is committed to a continuous programme of Professional Development. Her experience and broad knowledge base has helped her to become a skilled therapist. By working with the client, therapy is tailored to provide the professional one-to-one treatment desired.

Her motto is ‘I won’t waste our time and you won’t waste your money.’ I want people to get better or, at the very least to improve their quality of life.
