It’s about adding value to our client's experience with our clinician presence - NOT luring clients in with discounts, providing cookie cutter massages and pushing clients in and out as soon as possible.

Think about times this has happened to you.

Have you felt 'rushed' in and out of a service by a provider whose mind was on other things? Has a provider ever COMPLETELY MISSED what you were trying to say?

Our clients deserve better.

What has your experience been with a more mindful provider? We hear stories of ‘brand loyalty’ every day. Can one client begin a relationship with a single service and become a loyal customer, telling all her friends to buy services as well?

This happens to me with customers all the time. Are you interested in learning more about mindfulness?

I would like to thank Lymphedema Advocate Peggy McCartha for helping me film the mindfulness videos and sharing her experience of these mindfulness techniques.

Let’s hear from a massage therapist who practices mindfulness:

Kenal Mehta says that “by practicing mindfulness for years now, it has helped me to be non-judgmental, patient, compassionate, and have developed a great trust between a therapist and a client, specially when they are in a very vulnerable situation after the surgery”.
