Your clients will receive a much deeper experience from someone who is trained in the holistic approach. If you have a client that has only known the technical massage, they will be absolutely blown away by the multi- dimensional, heart centered holistic massage that you give them!

In a technical massage the massage therapist works "on" you. In a heart-centered holistic massage, the therapist works "with" you.

I have a test you can try on your self right now that illustrates the difference perfectly!

Test # 1. Take your left thumb and find a spot on your right forearm that's sore. Press down hard on it with your thumb. How does that feel?

Test # 2. Now, take your right thumb and find a spot on your left forearm that is sore. Lightly place your thumb over that spot. Lightly. Take a deep breath in and as you exhale, increase your pressure only as fast as the muscle releases under your thumb. This is called sinking in. You sink into the muscle instead of pushing on it.

Which experience did you prefer? If you picked # 1, then by all means go to a technical massage school. However, if you picked # 2, a holistic massage school would be perfect for you. I think your clients would probably pick # 2 as well.

You now have the 3 *powerful* questions that will help you choose the perfect massage school for you. Make sure that you ask these 3 questions to any school that you are considering and you will find the school of your dreams!
