Your shoulders are tight by lunchtime. Your back aches by evening. And getting comfortable in bed takes longer than it should.

You keep getting on with your day, but the aches and tension are taking more of your attention than you’d like.

Wondering why everything feels so hard right now?


Your life shouldn't be about pushing through or just managing your pain.
You've probably been told that it is normal for your age, just wear and tear, or you've been handed a script and sent on your way.
Once we join the dots on what's actually going on for you, things start to change, and you can start living the life you want.

Hi, I'm Stewart Gatenby

My interest in Bowen Therapy began with my own experience of back pain after renovating a property in north-east Victoria.

I found Bowen Therapy after trying many different modalities that left me feeling disappointed with short-term relief. I experienced a profound change in how I felt and moved after my first treatment. This inspired me to train in Bowen Therapy, and eventually leave my career as a textile chemist to work with people directly.

Today, at Breathe Easy Bowen & Massage in Point Vernon, I offer Bowen Therapy, Remedial Massage and Relaxation Massage.

I take time to listen, understand what brings you in, and discuss an approach that suits you. Whether you’re seeking attention for a particular area or simply some time to unwind, your comfort matters throughout your appointment.

Bowen Therapy

For when you’d prefer a more gentle approach to aches and tension.
Bowen Therapy may suit you if you’re looking for a lighter touch, particularly when firmer massage feels like too much.

I work gently to help your body reset itself, so you can sleep through the night, play with your kids without your back seizing up, and stop feeling like you're tensed up all the time.
