That’s because many clients tend to see their healer as one who helps them relieve their own stress. The last thing a client wants is a stressed-out therapist or healer...
Most of us could go through an entire day – weeks even – slouching in our desk chairs without realizing for a single moment that we’ve done our bodies not-so-good.
