With long experience of M.E. / CFS and fibromyalgia symptoms, having tried numerous different treatments, therapies and ‘cures’, before finding a combination approach that really worked, Dr Claire Bowen qualified from Nottingham Medical School and worked in General Practice and Hospital Medicine, before a long period off work, dealing with severe M.E. / CFS. After her recovery, Claire went back to work in Environmental Medicine, before expanding her clinical skills and training further through experience in areas including Nutrition, Self-Actualisation Learning Technology, Hypnotherapy, Aromatherapy and Reflexology. Now working as a Natural Health Practitioner rather than clinical doctor, Claire provides support in various ways for individuals with chronic illness.
Known for her compassion and listening skills, Dr Claire offers a supportive, non-judgemental and holistic approach to discuss your health issues and the most appropriate therapy and lifestyle interventions specific to you.

I can be quite flexible about timings of telephone / Skype sessions and, with at least 24 hours’ notice can usually change the time or date as necessary. If booking 6 or more sessions, payment is requested upfront, with the sessions then diarised at your convenience – I often find fortnightly calls good to begin with, then moving to every three weeks and monthly – although the client retains control of the timings.
