What happens to your client also happens to their body. You've spent countless sessions working with them, teaching them all the things and offering them all the tools in your expansive toolbox. They've made incredible progress. Their logical, thinking brain has all the right info and answers, and they're using the somatic tools you've taught them to help their nervous systems regulate more effectively. Yet their survival brain still seems to cling to certain coping mechanisms that no longer benefit them. What now? 

Let's head back to school: many classes have both a lecture portion and a lab portion. The lecture is where you are taught all the principles and history and theory and take all the notes and stuff, and the lab is where you get to practice using those principles and theory.

In a way, my work is like the lab. I am a licensed massage therapist. My scope of practice allows me to offer the one thing that yours does not: hands-on, physical touch. I have spent the past 17 years learning how to provide safe and effective touch to many different populations, and the past 5 of those have been spent learning how to use my scope of practice to complement and enhance the work that you are doing with your clients, giving you another powerful resource to offer them.

If you would like to have a conversation about what this looks like, you can schedule a complimentary video or in-person meeting with me here.
