Clients often comment on how ‘down to earth’ I am. I think it helps to relax them, because they realise that I’m just the same as them! Being mature and overweight myself, there is no way I’m going to strip off in front of a size 8, perma-tanned, 18 year old goddess of a therapist without so much as a single stretch mark on her washboard flat tummy.
Many times I’ve heard “please don’t take offence, but I’m so glad you’re not a dolly bird.” And of course, I don’t take offence – not in the slightest. I like that I make women comfy. It’s time we relaxed a bit about our bodies !
