My new book is out! It's called Massage Is Weird: massagesloth.com/book/
Are you psyching yourself out during your sessions? Do you find yourself dreading new massage clients because "what if they hate it?" In this video I talk about a few basic mindfulness techniques to get yourself out of that habit (or at least to make those intrusive thoughts a little less powerful). We talk about distancing, embracing, distraction, and how to psych yourself up! Then we end with a guided meditation that will walk you through an easy mindfulness exercise for dealing with self-doubt. This is for massage students and massage therapists alike.
