What do you want from your session?

Writer's picture: Paula VanBaalenPaula VanBaalen

So often people come in for their sessions and want us, as massage therapists, to make all the decisions for them. To figure out what their tissues need. To feel the dis-ease. To "fix" them.


But the reality is, that’s not our job.


Rather, to come in with an intent - a specific request - we want that. We need that. Otherwise, we don’t know what to do to help you.



This is your session, what do you want from it?


Some days we want to relax. Some days we want to decompress.


Some days we just need someone to hold space for us, because the world is so chaotic around us.


Some days we need to talk. Some days we need to be still.


Some days we need to listen to advice or to have an idea planted, so we can sit with it and discover the deeper meaning.


Some days we need rehab work. Some days we want to feel good.


Some days we need the pain to just go away, even if it’s just for a little bit.


And some days we don’t want anything productive because we do not have the capacity to take any new information in.


There’s no shame or judgment with any of these options. That’s what they are ~ options.

When we hand over our healing and our own wellness to somebody else to control, we don’t get what we need out of it.


After all, outside influencers only have a small snapshot of our reality. So, they will make decisions based off the <1% that they know about our lives.


But when we come into a session with an intent ~ a knowing of how we want to feel after the session ~ even if it sounds weird. Even if it doesn’t quite make sense.


That’s where the magic happens.


Because then you develop a deeper awareness within yourself.


You develop a deeper connection with yourself.


You are given the opportunity to take your power back.


To have control of your health.


To have control of your wellness journey.


To know that you are a part of the results.


That you don’t always need somebody outside of you to fix you. Or to work on you. To figure out what’s going on with your body.


Because you have that ability inside of you already.


     You just forgot about it.
