One of the most difficult things for a bodyworker to quantify is the subjective experience of 'dis-ease' for each individual client. Julie defines and teaches that therapeutic quality of 'presence.' This book takes you beyond communicating with your client to true interaction with body, mind and spirit. I learned from this book, and because of it will continue to learn more with each interaction with my clients. Improved communication, improved outcomes, continued learning and growth for both the client and the bodyworker...Fabulous! This is what the therapeutic relationship is all about!
