Episode notes

Are your "yes" responses coming from abundance or fear? The answer might surprise you.

As massage therapists, we often take clients from a place of scarcity - worrying about empty slots, lost income, or disappointing people. But what if this very pattern is creating the scarcity we fear? In Part 2 of our series on Why You Feel Drained After Treating Clients (and How to Fix It), we dive deep into the hidden patterns driving our scheduling decisions and discover a powerful tool for making aligned choices.

In this episode, you'll discover:

  • Why saying yes from fear actually creates more scarcity in your practice
  • A simple but powerful body-based technique for making aligned decisions
  • How to transform your practice by trusting your body's wisdom about client alignment

Listen now to learn the Body Compass Practice - a game-changing tool that helps you identify when you're making decisions from fear versus alignment. Plus, access our free guided meditation in the show notes to master this technique.
