Delbert Skeete

Founder of Bowmaster & Bowen Technique Specialist

Welcome to my practice. For over 25 years, I’ve dedicated my professional life to mastering, practising, and teaching the Bowen Technique across the UK, Italy, and beyond. As the Founder and Chairperson of the Bowmaster Association, I’ve developed my own interpretation of this remarkable therapy that has helped countless individuals find relief, balance, and renewed well-being.

My Journey with Bowen

My path with the Bowen Technique has been one of continuous discovery and refinement:

Over 25 Years of Practice in the UK and Italy, working with clients from all walks of life
Founder of Bowmaster, my organisation dedicated to excellence in Bowen therapy training and practice
International Teaching including lectures at the University of Poitiers in France and the Shu Centre in Japan
Corporate Wellness Programmes developed for organizations including IBM Italia and FIAT
Sports Performance Enhancement with teams including Wexford Football Club

My Approach to Bowen

Through years of clinical experience, I’ve developed what some refer to as the “Skeete interpretation” of the Bowen Technique. At its core, my philosophy centres on the understanding that before any of us can perform at our best—whether in sports, work, or daily life—we must first address our physical and psychological stress.

I believe that the sum of everyone’s personal stress, however small, becomes significant when added together. This is particularly true in team environments, where collective tension can greatly impact overall performance and harmony.

The Bowen Technique plays a vital role in relieving both physical and emotional tension, allowing individuals to redirect their energy toward their goals and improve their performance, whether on the playing field or in the workplace.

Community Work

In recent years, I’ve brought my expertise to community initiatives through The Grove Think Tank CIC, particularly with our Bowen Pop-up Service. Created in response to the Grenfell tragedy, this project empowers local people to learn Bowen techniques to help friends and loved ones while also providing pathways for those with the aptitude to become Bowmaster Specialists.

I’ve also conducted successful trials with the NHS at the Woodfield Road Medical Centre in Westminster, working with both staff and patients to demonstrate the technique’s effectiveness in healthcare settings.

Training and Mentorship

Through Bowmaster, I train and certify Bowen practitioners in the UK, Italy, and beyond. My teaching emphasises not just technique but a holistic understanding of the body’s inherent healing capabilities. I’m proud to see many of my students establish successful practices of their own, carrying forward the approach to healing and wellness that I’ve refined over the decades.

My Background

My professional journey has included:

Martial arts instruction in Mugendo and Sanjuro (since 1983)
Co-creation of IBM Bowgenesis, an integrated relaxation and rebalancing technique
Leadership in multiple professional associations dedicated to holistic healing
Development of existential learning and trust-building courses across 13 countries
Contribution to legislation recognising complementary therapy professions

Whether you’re seeking relief from a specific condition, looking to enhance athletic performance, or simply wanting to improve your overall wellbeing, I bring decades of experience and insight to each session. I look forward to working with you on your journey to better health.
