I'm setting the intention to not only calm my clients. I help release energy blocks in your body that restrict movement both physical, and spirituality.
I'm an empath born with a high awareness of energy. One of my gifts is to tune into the issue that has been trapped in the physical body causing the pain.
Also sometimes we subconsciously do things that stress certain areas of our bodies or we just hold stress in the head or arms more than other places.
A good massage therapist will be in tune with the clients needs.
