About
Sam Norton
Sam previously had a successful career as an NEBDN registered dental nurse for 17 years. 10 years of her career was spent working within the NHS, specialising in access care, leading orthodontic assessment clinics, assisting in special needs and community dentistry, as well as working peripatetic across the county of Lincolnshire, covering various clinics within the community and hospitals.
Sam took a career break when her second child was born. In 2012, she worked alongside government and health professionals during the judicial review of children's cardiac services. This enabled the East Midlands Congenital Heart Centre to remain open, and continue to provide cardiac services, and surgical interventions for children born with congenital heart disease. Sam also founded, ran, and led a successful children's charity for three years, providing Leicester Children's Hospital with essential medical equipment, charitable funds, as well as parent and children's support equipment, and family facilities within the paediatric intensive care unit, and high dependency ward.
Over the last three years, Sam has studied, and achieved a Certificate of
Higher Education in Health Sciences with the Open University, an ITEC Level 3 Diploma in Anatomy, Physiology and Pathology, and has qualified as a Bowen Therapist in the Original Bowen Technique (BowTech). She is a member of the Bowen Association UK, Bowen Therapy Professional Association, and registered with the Complimentary and Natural Healthcare Council. Sam holds an enhanced DBS check which enables her to work with adults and children, in school settings, healthcare settings, as well as work with those who are disabled or vulnerable.
Sam's interest and passion for the Bowen Technique therapy came about after receiving Bowen Therapy for an on going back and knee issue, when no other therapies worked for her. She has also seen first hand a family member with additional needs benefit from the treatment, as well as the relaxation they gained from this. Following these experiences, Sam spent time researching into the Bowen Technique and felt drawn to educate herself further, and train in this gentle, unique and wonderful, yet little known therapy.
Sam trained under Helen Perkins, an internationally recognised therapist, trainer, and speaker who has a wealth of knowledge and experience in the Bowen Technique.
