INTENTIONAL SELF CO.

One of the things I wish more people understood about learning/offering bodywork is that technique is only part of the whole picture.

Of course we need to learn how to work with the body, we quite obviously need to develop our own technique, perfect our skills and understand what we are doing with the body and why.

But… perhaps less obviously, becoming a truly intuitive, attuned practitioner is also about learning how to observe, listen and respond accordingly to the person in front of us.

These are five things I pay attention to in my own practice, and they are observations I have developed through experience and through working with many different people.

They are not rules, and they are certainly not a way to diagnose what someone is feeling. They are just reminders to stay present, to keep learning and approach every single client as an individual.

Because the more we learn to notice the more subtle cues, the more thoughtfully and intentionally we can work.

And I truly believe that is a skill worth developing.
