Exploring a new level of personalisation in hands-on therapy
Why is it that two clients, with seemingly identical issues, can respond so differently to the same treatment plan? Why do some bounce back quickly while others plateau, or relapse into recurring symptoms?
One emerging answer lies in something deeply personal and entirely unique to each of us: our genetics.
Rather than guessing at dietary factors, stress sensitivity, or recovery timelines, genetic testing allows therapists to view an individual’s biological blueprint—how their body naturally handles stress, processes nutrients, metabolises fat and carbohydrates, recovers from physical activity, and even how efficiently it sleeps or manages inflammation.
What’s more, epigenetic testing—which looks at how lifestyle factors such as diet, sleep, environment, and emotional stress are currently influencing gene expression—gives an up-to-date, functional picture of a person’s health in real time.
For Bowen therapists, this insight is especially powerful. Your hands may already detect the patterns. Now, you can confirm them with precision—and tailor your support with confidence.
The testing process is easier than many people expect. A UK-based provider, Genetics Coaching, offers a complete package that has been especially adapted for therapists.
Your clients receive a secure online dashboard – showing personal data clearly across categories such as:
All data is encrypted and stored securely & privacy is fully protected. Data is managed according to GDPR standards, and is never shared with third parties. Only the client—and their assigned Genetics Coach—can access the information.
Clients receive 1:1 support – including three private coaching calls to help them understand your data, plus access to a growing online library of resources on nutrition, recovery, mindset, and more.
This is not a diagnostic tool, and it doesn’t replace your clinical intuition—but it adds another layer to your understanding of why some people respond and others don’t.
Bowen therapy is already grounded in working with the nervous system. But what if you could understand the genetic stress reactivity of a client before they step on the couch?
What if you knew that their persistent inflammation wasn’t just lifestyle-related, but partly driven by their biology? What if the fatigue they can’t shift had a nutritional root, compounded by poor vitamin absorption or a sluggish detox gene?
Genetic insights give you that clarity. They allow you to:
• Support recovery with personalised advice
• Communicate more clearly with clients about their individual healing timelines
• Identify possible obstacles to progress that aren’t visible in the session
• Build confidence as a therapist with science-backed insight
Before applying this work in practice, Genetics Coaching is offering Bowen therapists the opportunity to experience the full genetics testing and coaching journey for themselves.
This practitioner-only package is designed for personal insight—not for resale, referral, or commercial use. It’s a chance to deepen your own health knowledge, and explore how the process fits alongside your current practice.
There are no ongoing subscriptions, upsells, or pressure to promote—just a genuine opportunity to explore how genetic testing could add value to your role as a therapist.
Once you’ve experienced the process personally, you may wish to integrate this powerful tool into your client work. If so, you’ll have the option to enrol in the Genetics Coaching Certification—a structured online course that teaches you how to:
• Understand and interpret client DNA & epigenetic reports
• Deliver personalised coaching based on their unique profile
• Combine genetic insight with your existing bodywork approach
• Add a future-facing skillset to your business
You’ll be fully supported every step of the way, and the certification is open only to those who have completed their own test first—ensuring you’re coming from experience, not just theory.
