I am a state certified massage therapist/bodyworker. I empower my clients by letting them know during our intakes sessions that the session is about their needs. I do my best to make them feel confident telling me that they would like more or less pressure; or that they would prefer that the music would be louder.

However, I found this example so helpful that I immediately wrote my credo as a healer/massage therapist/bodyworker as I was reading your post.

In addition, I have written my personal manifesto (I will publish it when I have completed the edit).

Thanks for the cool article, and the timely example.

@Sonia It’s in how much you demonstrate it. Many masseuses would agree with the general premise of “massage should be empowering”–but not necessarily think through how they could create a truly empowering experience for someone, or what might get in the way of people being empowered around massage.

But yes, it’s kind of a light example. You’d want to find the words that speak to you. Maybe I will see if I can dig up some good examples of manifestos that are out on the web.

I’m a massage therapist, and I do believe massage should be empowering, so this is all directly applicable! I didn’t realize that was a controversial or note-worthy stand, though – I thought it was called customer service. I think there may be more to my own core credo than that.

Thanks for providing lots of food for thought with your example and general premise!
