In order for a human being to ask for what they want, they must know what they want, believe they deserve it and trust that you will provide it.

TMT LEVEL 1
DENVER, CO - SPRING 2018 |
This Touch Me There!™ Level 1 training gives you easy ways to prioritize consent so you can:
- Improve client agency (“buy-in”) in the healing process
- Increase liability protection for your practice
- Spend more time healing and less time triggering your client
Nearly half of survey respondents answered YES when asked if they’ve ever been touched by a bodywork practitioner in a way that they didn’t want. The modalities respondents cited included massage, reflexology, Thai massage, chiropractic adjustments, acupressure, hands-on yoga adjustments, Rolfing, Healing Touch and more.
In all likelihood, the majority of unwanted touch comes not from any malicious intent on the part of the practitioner but from simple miscommunication with our clients. Many of us have little or no training in consent tools and strategies beyond our initial student hours. It’s also true that many of our clients lack the self-confidence or self-awareness to give us their enthusiastic and authentic consent.
