Quotes:

“I think if you can get your client base kinesthetically aware of how they feel, it does start to tap into that a little bit more authentically. If you’re diving into mental health, that’s where it might come off as inauthentic and you need to bring a professional in.” [Nick, 11:03]

“I think a lot of making wellness a lifestyle approach too is changing your mindset. A lot of people are short-term thinkers [wanting] instant gratification. I don’t even think it’s a social media thing, I think it’s always been there. It’s just there’s more avenues to get that immediate gratification for people.” [Nick, 12:59]

“You don’t have to partner with mental health professionals. You don’t have to do these things with your clients, like goal setting seminars, ceremonies, check-ins, whatever you want to call them. You don’t have to do any of that; your job is to bring them the physical and mental clarity through the services you provide.” [Megan, 14:19]
