The most important one for me: I will never blame my clients.
As someone who has lived with chronic physical health issues for close to two decades, I’ve sat on the other side of this relationship with more practitioners than I can count.
And if there is one quality I want to bring into my own work above almost anything else, it’s humility.
I do not have all the answers. I am one piece of what may be a very complicated puzzle. I might be a brilliant fit for you. I might be the right fit for this particular season. Or I might not be the person you need at all.
My job is to show up to the very best of my ability, within my professional scope, and to stay curious about what else might support you.
Sometimes that might mean continuing our work together. Sometimes it might mean medical care, psychological support, relationship therapy, a dance class, another practitioner, a different modality, or simply taking a break from sessions for a while.
And if things aren’t shifting, I will never make that a failure on your part.
I will not tell you that you didn’t want it enough, try hard enough, surrender enough, heal enough, think positively enough, or do the work properly.
I don’t know your whole story. I only ever get to know a part of it.
But I will show up for that part as fully as I can. I’ll nurture it, cheer it on, ask questions, offer possibilities, gently challenge you when it’s useful, and make room for all the complexity that comes with being a human being.
You should never have to protect yourself from your practitioner’s ego.
I cannot tell you how many teas, herbs, healers, bodyworkers and other well-intentioned practitioners I have encountered who, directly or indirectly, made me responsible for the fact that they couldn’t fix a disease they were never qualified to treat in the first place.
I know what that feels like.
And I will never, ever follow in those footsteps 💕
