Great outcomes are dependent on good communication. It’s true in every profession. If I am a master carpenter, the best in the world, and I build you a beautiful wooden chair, that will be a failure if what you really wanted was a table. So, in order to make sure that we “build the right solution” for you, we both need to communicate. It’s fundamental. Good communication starts before your very first session begins with the Intake Form and your Health History. It continues in the pre-session interview when you tell me about any specific issues you may be having, such as soreness in your shoulders. It also includes just knowing that it’s been a tough couple of weeks and you really just need to release a whole lot of tension. It continues on the table when you say, “Yes, that’s the spot, right there.” Or if I ask you “How is that pressure, more, less or is that about right?” Good communication is how the client/therapist relationship develops and how the sessions keep getting better...
It takes a lot of time and effort to keep a blog current. And because I would rather be helping clients de-stress for better health, I am probably not going to be updating this blog as often as perhaps I ought to.

I look forward to working with you and bringing some soothing relaxation into your life.
