  • In My Dreams – White Room

    Excerpt from 2008 Dream Journal.  “Therapeutic journaling helps us to make sense of our internal experiences, learn, and gain new perspectives on our challenges.”

  • Visiting Therapist

    Namaste Today I was visiting with another therapist. There I sat on her veranda, we had just finished lunch, when a car pulled up. She was not expecting anyone else, but peered to see who it was. Three ladies alighted. Then her daughter remembered to say that someone had called for her earlier. Hmmm. The…

  • Power to the Client

    Namaste This week a student asked how could we avoid those clients who feel that one massage treatment should resolve their problem, and when this does not happen, they opt for spreading malicious rumors about the Therapist? I don’t know. People are good, up until they aren’t. We do our best and trust that the…

  • Permission to Practice

    Namaste A few years ago I shared the link http://www.ttparliament.org/hansards/hh19980306.pdf which advises that on Friday March 6, 1998 the Bill regarding the Massage Therapy Association of Trinidad and Tobago and matters relating thereto (e.g. the issuance of license) were read in the House of Representatives for the first time.

    Namaste Each time I go through the business handout I wonder whether I am qualified to talk about that subject.  When I look around at what is still potential I have to wonder if it is that I am lacking the social, communication, and reasoning competencies needed for success in this career.  I have clients…

  • Androgynous

    Namaste It is politically incorrect to have a dog and bark, so given that I have helpers, I don’t iron my clothes, that role is delegated to my children. I was preparing for work recently and opened the wardrobe to take out a top to wear. There are two sets hanging there: the ones to…

  • Milk and Nipples

      Namaste It is said to be a blessed thing to give. As Therapists we live this. We give of our energy and skills and feel blessed by the positive feedback we receive. And while this direct form of giving is good, it is said that the highest form of giving is the type where…

  • Masaje Storie

    Namaste The Spring issue of the International Therapist (journal of the FHT) carries an article about storytelling during massage being an effective tool for reaching and bonding with children. I too can recall drawing shapes on one of my friends back in Primary School. She so enjoyed it that she had tokens to offer in…

  • Sea Bath

    Namaste Last week while I was visiting two of my client at a Home, my Muslim friend, who also resides there, called out to me saying that he would like to have massages done also. I told him that he had to advise his son who will then permit me to do so. We have…
