 Why do I have to pay an annual renewal fee?

The $75 registration fee that is first collected at your Module 1 is a yearly fee that covers the cost of our quarterly journal Bowen Hands; admittance to the members’ section of the website; our administrative costs; and, after accreditation, your website listing and referrals from the administrator. For accredited practitioners, this yearly fee must be current for enrolling in continuing education classes.

Will I be reminded my fees are due?

Yes, the Bowenwork Academy USA administrative assistant sends out an email first and then a letter to remind you that your registration fee is due. Your  fee is due on the anniversary date of your first Bowenwork class (i.e. you take Module 1 on February 10, 2006, your fee is due again on February 10, 2007, 2008, etc.).

Why should I become a professional practitioner?

While there are a number of lay persons, who wish only to work on friends and family, and who do not go through the entire Bowenwork program, we encourage all professionals to complete the program through Module 7. There are several advantages to being a full professional Bowenwork practitioner:  

You are eligible to apply for professional indemnity insurance through organizations such as ABMP.

You are listed on the Bowtech® Bowenwork websites as a licensed practitioner for referrals.

The Bowenwork Academy USA administrative assistant receives hundreds of phone calls asking for referrals.  She will refer clients to you, as well.

The website listing is a rich source of referrals for a dedicated and growing body of clients and other practitioners who appreciate the speed and efficacy of Bowenwork. This listing represents those practitioners who are willing to see the training to its completion and uphold the standards of the Bowenwork Academy USA.

Why do I have to take 32 additional hours of classes after completing Module 7?

We require these continuing education hours because we have found that it is amazingly easy over time to migrate off points, lose confidence in performing procedures one hasn't used routinely, or forget why we do a particular procedure in the first place. We want to assure your competency not only so we can promote you on our web site with confidence, but also for your greatest success.

Why do you sometimes use Bowtech as opposed to Bowenwork when referring to Tom Bowen's technique?
Both are registered trademarks of the Bowen Therapy Academy of Australia and are used interchangeably. We typically use  Bowenwork in the United States; Bowtech is used more in the rest of the world. 
 
Actually Bowenwork is getting to be used more in the rest of the world, too, in large part because it is used in the new manuals (and to some extent in Bowen Hands), where Bowenwork is used to describe the technique/modality/work itself and Bowtech to refer to the organization/school/and curriculum.
