from Sara Sessions: Soulful healing conversations · host Saranaz Mohammadi
In this episode, the conversation delves into Jennifer Setsuko's multi-talented journey from dancer to founder and teacher of one of Montreal's best English-speaking massage schools. We approach how life cycles complete unknowingly with our continuous push forward when our why is clear, the understanding of the five elements and its impact in TCM on our inner being and the intricate, important balance between movement and stillness. For the therapists out there, we explore her reciprocity of teaching and therapy, the negotiation of client expectations, and the body's storage of emotions and energy, influenced by yin, yang, and the elements and how to start tuning into them. The conversation delves into a multi-dimensional (vs holistic) approach to massage therapy, the impact of COVID on touch therapy, and the importance of continuing education and self-care for massage therapists. and finally I pick her brain about her participation in massage championships here and abroad and how that has impacted her philosophy, some advice to consider for massage therapists.Ecole Setsuko: Instagramwww.Ecolesetsuko.ca or www.Setsuko.caJennifer Setsuko Lee: InstagramTakeawaysResilience and AdaptabilityThe Power of Stillness Multi-dimensional approachImpact of COVID on touch therapyContinuing education and self-care for massage therapistsChapters00:00 The Influence of Yin, Yang, and the Elements42:05 The Multi-Dimensional Approach to Massage Therapy52:03 Addressing the Needs of Isolated Individuals01:15:24 Advice for New Massage Therapists
