Body Use and Quality of Touch
Thursday, October 2, 2008 at 08:37PM Body Use and Quality of Touch: a professional training for bodyworkers
There is a massive amount of information about, and attention paid to, various techniques and methods for working with clients. The entire idea is about helping clients feel better, work better, and enjoy their bodies.
Why, then, is it so hard to find training in using and refining our own bodies and movement as we work? Training at schools is usually rudimentary or lacking entirely, and the state of the art is often borrowed from martial arts or yoga (related, but different), or the athletic world (technically correct, yet insufficient for the job). Experience quickly shows that how we feel and function as we work has a direct impact on our clients' experience (as well as the quality of our lives over the long term).
I believe that the single biggest tool any therapist or educator has is the quality of their own experience.
Come get a taste of how to improve you and your clients experience as you work.
We'll get in to:
- Self-care
- Refining Perception
- Efficiency
- Effectiveness
- Choosing, creating, and refining techniques
Modality, experience, and physical limitation are not a barrier. Contact me with questions.
If your practice is primarily energetic in nature, all of the above is true, but the specifics look somewhat different. That's a different class ;) Let me know if you're interested.
