If you are calling for a same day appointment for a massage the process is quite simple.
However 80% of my clients are regulars, ( however, they go BEFORE they show up at my place thus saving me from calling in the Molly Maids more frequently). I work with both men and women (...and a few of non disclosed gender. Those are generally the ones who leave their underwear on and insist on being massaged in the dark).
For those who are coming or going regularly (with or without laxatives) I do an intake process, where I will ask you “What are the goals you are currently pursuing, short and long term? This helps to concretize the therapeutic direction of the work, so that the work itself remains focused. While a client may present one complaint, ( i.e. a sore back), the origins of their back pain, might in-fact be affected not just by prolonged sitting, or a sedentary lifestyle, but by repressed anger - resolvable through psychotherapy, etc. So, if all you do is receive massage, for years and years, - you’ll not receive the “integral” benefits of connecting the emotional or childhood components to back issues later in life.
Also, keep in mind that 'well being' is not the same as 'health'. or 'not having an illness' I am a holistic based therapist which is a fundamentally different philsophy than someone who is allopathically trained. (Point of fact, they generally have NO sense of humour, correct?)
Simply put, because an issue, blockage, or complex does not show up on some MRI or catscan does not mean one is optimally 'well'. I think of wellness as a subjective state of mind and body that is seen through the lens of a 'barometer or what is possible'.
So one question you may want to ask is: How much further could you go to be fulfilled and content with yourself? Money in the bank, a nice house, a flat stomach a few close friends and a financial plan is not the be all and end all of a successful life. Subjectively speaking there is plenty more to aspire to.
I also consider "wellbeing" to be part of a sense of personal empowerment - the drive to realize oneself fully and completely. Combined with the pursuit of LOVE: to become in one's own way a part of everything there is, human and inanimate. (I draw the line at being part of Stephen Harpers agenda to take over the world but that's another conversation) The human race cannot continue to regard itself as 'separate' from everything else around it. That is a blueprint for disaster.
If this fits your own personal sense of 'truth' (or bullshit) and or is something you also value, then perhaps we should talk and or massage.
