This week on the Do It With Intention Podcast:

• Find out how, as massage or bodywork practitioners, we must give ourselves the same space and grace that we offer our clients.

• Learn how creative, big hearted people — even those just starting out — can also build successful businesses with the proper guidance.

Resources from this episode:

Lisa Fahay has long been drawn to Craniosacral Therapy (CST). After a life-changing experience, she enrolled in Massage Therapy school in order to pursue training in the CST modality. Rigorous learning at this stage of life has been humbling and gratifying and her Craniosacral Therapy practice will combine her vast history and love of working with children in many disciplines — from art therapy, children’s yoga, and beyond. She discovered a particular love of working with tweens and teens, offering an experience of safe touch and access to a calm nervous system. A perennial creator, Lisa’s mindfulness props and toys reduce stress and enhance a sense of peace.

Clarity is so important as you create your ideal massage or bodywork practice.

In my years of coaching massage therapists on the business side of their practices, I’ve seen a lack of clarity about what you want your practice to look like hold so many wonderful practitioners back.

In today’s episode, I share two critical numbers for bodyworkers. Once you get clear on these numbers, you’ll be on your way to building the practice of your dreams.

This Week on the Do It With Intention Podcast:

• Learn the difference between the numbers of clients you have and the numbers of sessions you have in a given timeframe (day, week, month, year).

• Find out how it’s much easier to work with your existing clients — making their lives a touch better with the great work you do — than it is to scramble for new ones.

• And how burnout can affect us both physically and mentally — and lead to us not doing our best work.
