What Serving in the Field of Holistic Medicine Means to Me
- We are well versed in the field of alternative medicine. Learn as much as you can, always be learning, then teach what you have learned. My clients even teach ME a lot. Listen to them. Learn from them as well.
- Being of service to those in need of assistance in getting back to their own sense of well-being.
- Utilizing many of the available methods of bodywork and healing modalities based on a spiritual approach.
- Remember, we did not get into this field just for the money. We have a gift to share, and the blessings come in more forms than money. Open your eyes and see them. Open your ears and listen. Here's a few to start you out: a)that glow on the clients face when they come out of a massage (b)that beautiful sigh of contentment from their lips (c)that smile that was sheepish when they first came in, now turns to a ear to ear grin. (d)Hearing the clients life trials and tribulations as tears are streaming down their face because they feel safe enough to open up, and cry in your presence (e) that $20 tip that comes when you need it the most, (f)the $3 tip from the client who can't even afford the massage. These are all wonderful blessings.
- 90% of our clients come to us because they need to be touched, they need to feel loved and accepted, we live in a world where people are so judgmental and unloving. What a gift it is to be able to offer a safe haven for them to let that façade down and just be themselves, and feel okay with being themselves.
- Allow your clients to be real with you by being real with them.
- Use your gifts of empathy and intuition, work from your heart, you won't ever go wrong.
- The people who aren't so pretty or handsome probably need to be touched the most, so touch their soul. Most people never even bother getting close to them, don't be most people.
- Remember that society judges the book by the cover, so come from that way of thinking when getting dressed in the morning, you can show them how beautiful you are on the inside, when you get them on your table.
- If you feel poopy upon arriving to work, remember you have a choice, you can make this a good day or a bad day, and take the appropriate steps to get yourself back to center. If you choose to have a poopy day, then don't make everyone else have one too, that is just selfish!
- If you did something that you were not supposed to do, don't get mad at the one who points it out! Own up to it, take responsibility for your own actions, and try better next time.
- If a client does not like your massage, do not get upset, most of the time this happens because we are so wrapped up in OURSELF instead of the client. Admit it!! It usually has nothing to do with the massage; your intention to help THEM was just not there. How could it be, when your focus was on YOURSELF?
- Don't just talk spiritual, BE SPIRITUAL. SHOW people your true essence, it is beautiful!
