I received another unsolicited testimonial from one of my longest standing and most loyal clients. This is one of the many reasons I do this work--I'm grateful to see a client's transformation and attitude change. Also, it is a great example of a person who used the massage therapy to grow into other areas of life and push their body into a new level of awareness and freedom. Massage therapy as well as other types of body work can open the door to a person who wants to gain control and power. Why go through life not knowing the potential and art of your own beautiful body? Whatever state you are in, I find you a magnificent work of art and am honored to work with you!!
This is a second testimonial I’ve written to compliment the talents of Ms. Elizabeth “Liz” Schneider.
Over the past one and one half years this writer has continued to receive massage therapy sessions from Ms. Schneider at least once a month. I cannot say enough about her superb techniques, polished through her knowledge, dedication, and commitment to her craft of integrative massage therapy. I can sense her therapeutic techniques/styles have matured, gained (writer’s thoughts here) through experience from the feedback she gets from her continuously growing client base. I’ve also noticed that her dedication to the art of massage therapy has deepened. Not once have I had a negative experience. If something was not working, I would make suggestions and she would willingly alter her session, and we would work it out. Those who read her blog and for some reason may be hesitant about massage therapy, or who have visited her once and were not sure about a follow-up visit, I ask what are you waiting for? If for some reason your expectations were not met, communicate!
In my April 2013 testimonial I mentioned I was experiencing positive “vibes” as a result of the relaxation response I get from Ms. Schneider’s massages. What have I done since then? I have participated in yoga, tai chi, and meditation classes, and continue my interest in music. I exercise every day, stretch, meditate. What lessons have I learned? That it important to know your body - treat it with respect, and the mind and body will synchronize.
How did I learn these lessons? Although Ms. Schneider tells me it is all me doing these things, it is, unfortunately, the one time I disagree with her. Through the sharing of her knowledge, as well as being a grateful recipient of her therapy, along with her encouragement, I attribute it to her. Without her encouragement, without being the recipient of her knowledge and techniques, I honestly feel I would be deprived of many of the aforementioned benefits.
The benefits of Ms. Schneider’s massages continue to resonate. I thank her again for her courteous, respectful, and compassionate integrative massage therapy sessions.
