Your first session
Before your first session:
If I have sent you any paperwork to fill out, please do so prior to our session, as then we can get right into it…
Arrival at the office
There is street parking on the adjacent streets, most commonly on Redwood and Spruce. 5th usually has metered spots near the office. Once you arrive at my office, you can wait in the waiting room, and I will come and find you.
The waiting room
Have a seat in the waiting room, no need to tell the receptionists. I will come out to find you. You may text or call if it appears I am late.
In the office
We will start by talking about what your needs and wants are in our work. We will talk some about your history so that I can get to know you a little.
Your Needs First
Before beginning the session, I will ask you to alert me if, at any time during the session, if anything that we do is uncomfortable for you. Typically we will not do any bodywork on the first session, and for some clients bodywork involving touch is not part of our work at all. I will encourage you gently from time to time to notice what is happening in your body, and depending on your comfort level, more awareness and even bodywork will be incorporated.
Completion of the session
I will let you know when our session is approaching its scheduled end time. If I have the time, and you would like to stay longer, we can talk about that. Your fee will be prorated accordingly. I suggest that you schedule some time after our session to take a walk around the neighborhood, or in Balboa Park (practically across the street) so that you can get reoriented and be ready to operate the heavy machinery of you car.
