Qualified, registered and insured Professional Human Bowen Therapists may do a bridging course to gain qualifications in Small Animal Bowen Therapy. This is a 3 day program (dependent on course participants) and is called a “Post Graduate”.
Professional Human Bowen Therapists wanting to qualify in Equine Bowen Therapy will have to complete the entire equine program. Cross referencing of some units of study may shorten the course down, and reduce the overall investment.
