Practitioners
Nancy Bittinger
Nancy Bittinger is the owner of Carlisle Bowen Works and has been helping people heal from pain for over 30 years. Since her first day in massage school, Nancy has spent her career learning (possibly obsessing) about how to help people rid their bodies of pain.
​
Nancy discovered Bowen Therapy in 2011, and started Carlisle Bowen Works in 2012. Although she uses many modalities in her practice, her business is named for the therapy that changed the way she looks at the human body, and how she thinks about healing. She will forever be grateful to Tom Bowen for the gift of this therapy that he has shared with the world.
​
Recently, Nancy started a healing center Moringa Sagrada in Ecuador.
