Embrace Simplicity In Teaching
- Keep classes, props, and schedules simple to reduce stress and save time.
- Use a prop throughout multiple classes and group sessions to avoid reinventing each class.
Let People Move First
- Let clients move and explore before over-cuing or interrupting them with corrections.
- Allow trial, error, and refinement so clients learn by doing and you can co-discover solutions.
Words Shape Clients' Experience
- Language shapes clients' recovery, confidence, and body experience in powerful ways.
- Use words that validate progress, normalize sensation, and build capability rather than 'broken' narratives.
