Grateful for your clients' trust

What does it mean to you when someone trusts you with their body and wellbeing?

I am grateful for the trust my clients place in me. Massage can be such a personal experience, and I never take for granted the fact that someone chooses to place their body and wellbeing in my hands.

Being able to support people, help them feel better in their bodies, and create a space where they can relax is something I am truly grateful for.

Feedback from our recent long training is coming in and once again, someone is wishing they did the course a long time ago. We here this sooooooooooo often during and on completion of the course.

"The HFM techniques I employ will benefit me throughout my career, I only wish I had attended this course years ago! My practice has developed so much since introducing the HF techniques, it is totally different.

I no longer feel “what else could I do to improve techniques to help my clients, without irritating might joints - hands, wrists and lumber area.”

I could not imagine using any other techniques going forward. I feel more confident and feel I provide a more beneficial treatment outcome for every client.

I still have to continue practicing, so improvements will always be made!

Thank-you so much for so much help, guidance and support. "

Grateful for your career path

Looking back, what unexpected twist in your career are you grateful for?

I am grateful for Darien! Not only did he help me learn Hands Free back in 2009, which enabled me to make sure I can massage for as long as possible. But meeting him and falling in love with HFM so much that I asked him if he ever needed an assistant to call me. He did so in 2010, and that put me on a totally different unexpected path.

How do you reply to humbling reviews?

Last week I got this review from a massage client 'Leora is a true expert in bodywork'.

I have to admit, reading those words made me blush. I felt incredibly grateful for such a compliment (and for my lovely client)... and a little uncomfortable too!

It got me wondering... when someone gives you such high praise, how do you respond?

Do you simply say "Thank you"? Do you downplay it? Or do you fully accept the compliment?

I'd love to hear how you handle it.

A great learning experience is about more than what you learn. How the course is structured matters too.✨

Previous feedback: "I think the course is very well structured and the organization and working to times is brilliant!"

***Treating the whole system***

Muscles don't work in isolation and neither should our treatments.

How do you combine massage, stretching and movement to create better outcomes for your clients?

Grateful for rest

How has rest improved your practice?

It's always nice to have a busy practice. Alongside that, in this day and age 'busyness' can be glorified. But rest is equally important.

I'm grateful for rest and for my husband who taught me the art of chillaxing... something I always felt guilty about!!!
