To My Clients: I Like You Just the Way You Are!

My heart absolutely breaks to hear that someone skips their Therapeutic Massage because of embarrassment. Or that they have deprived themselves of the wonderful experience of bodywork because they're so unhappy with their own body. Whether it's due to weight issues, scarring, bruising, thinking they are unattractive or even undeserving, it all just breaks my heart.

We are all special individuals, beautiful in our own way. We are lucky enough to experience these amazing bodies - that have been created with such precision and according to a very real plan.

I was reminded today that my clients might not know how I feel about this subject. I want you all to know: I have flaws too. And I'm trying to reach goals just like all of you are, and some of them are incredibly challenging. You're not alone. And when you come into my treatment room, I am working on YOU. Not a size 6 or a 26, an athlete or not - I'm working on YOU, and all of the parts of you that make you an individual. And I enjoy every moment of it!

I've found a couple of articles that might interest you! Please feel free to pass them on to anyone else who might enjoy them.

In peace,
Amanda
