INTENTIONAL SELF CO.

Sometimes… the most important thing I can do in a session is intentionally slow myself down.

We never really know what someone is carrying when they arrive in our space. What their day has looked like, what’s been on their mind, or what their nervous system might need in that very moment.

And this is where I think our own energy becomes really important.

Sometimes, the most supportive thing I can do as a practitioner is slow everything right down.

Slower.
Calmer.
More grounded.

I become really intentional with the pace of my strokes. I soften my movements that wee bit more. I allow more space between each transition. My intention is to create an environment where they feel like they have permission to pause.

This is something I find so fascinating about the work I do.

Frequency. Resonance. The way we respond to the energy around us. It may sound a little “woo woo” but our energy plays a huge role in everything we do and experience.

Think about tuning forks. When one is struck, its vibration can create resonance in another.

Our bodies are not tuning forks, per se.. but there is something beautiful about the way our nervous systems respond to the presence.. the pace and the energy of another person.

We may not always be able to control what someone is experiencing when they walk through the door, but we can be intentional about what we bring into the room.

We can choose not to rush.
We can choose to move with more awareness.
We can intentionally create more space for a different experience.

This work isn’t just about the techniques we use or the strokes of our hands.

It’s also about the quality of our presence.

I truly believe that one of the most powerful things we can offer another person is our own grounded steadiness.
