It started as a hobby already during school time
and after attending many trainings 20 years later increasing
requests for help guided me towards a professional carreer even I
did not intend to work in this field at first.
2. What do you
find most exciting about bodywork therapy?
The work with people who ask for help I guess
makes one feel important.
There is never a similar case that makes it very interesting.
I do not depend on anything other than my hands.
I think I have a talent for this kind of work and when working
with clients that is like self motivation and very satisfactory.
3. What is your
most favourite bodywork book?
Without intention so sound arrogant it is my own
Book `The Dorn Method` because I put my heart and soul into it.
4. What is the
most challenging part of your work?
Finding the balance between business and my
mission to help
5. What advise you can give to fresh
massage therapists who wish to make a career out of it?
Practise, practise practise.....
Learn to listen to others and do not talk too much about
yourself because I believe that doing bodywork is best combined
with some kind of counseling or health / life coaching and if a
client can get rid of his inner pressure by talking about his
problems an important step towards healing is already made.
6. How do you see the future of massage
therapy?
I think that bodywork should not be too much
regulated in order to give more people the chance to try it out
both practitioners and patients.
Conventional medicine already is loosing ground to CAM and will
not give up without a fight I am afraid.
I see myself as a free and independent person that wants the right
to decide what kind of therapy and from whom it shall be given.
Of course an open market will include black sheep so to say but in
the end the good ones will be successful.
With enough self confidence and skill and the benefit of the
patient as first in mind I believe that massage therapists will
have a bright future.
