Bowen Across The Lifespan: A Conversation with Anne Schubert

Exploring Bowen’s versatility across age and stage, with one of its earliest advocates.

In this special recorded webinar, Matt Hart interviews Anne Schubert — a long-standing Bowen practitioner, educator, and one of the original students of Ossie and Elaine Rentsch. Anne shares her journey from the sports and fitness world to her deep clinical interest in working with babies, children, and the ‘inner child’.

Together, they explore how Bowen Therapy can be adapted and applied across all life stages — from infancy through to older age — and how Anne’s practice has evolved over decades of hands-on experience, teaching, and personal insight.

Whether you’re a Bowen student, practitioner, or someone interested in the potential of this gentle yet powerful therapy, this conversation offers valuable clinical wisdom and heartfelt reflections from a true pioneer of the Bowen community.
