Sweet Spot Sadness

 

Its so weird to be looking forward and realizing won't be in person sessioning with real clients until Spring. This will make it a year "off work" (no one with dog rescue is really ever off work and I am doing on line things but it's not the client table work touch sessions). 
 
When I stepped onto the cruise ship last March, I had no idea we would be stepping off to a world where I wouldn't be in my studio doing sessions EVER again.

My clients are all such real people to me, every person I worked with unique and I am just really really starting to understand that those sessions will never happen again there. 
 
All the physical things, where the oil is placed: which lights, which sheets on the table, which candles and music each person likes, Their pacing, what we talk about, where their muscles need work, how they decompress. What their favorite drinks and snacks are. What they love me to greet them wearing. The us, the timing the breathing.
 
All of this will never happen again in that space.

Some people will come "back" when my new studio opens. But it will never be this work, these sessions, the feel of this sanctuary...

The sheer magnitude of a whole year. and NEVER reentering that space to "work" is daunting.

I had plans on how I was going to make every single last session memorable. I need to shift those to how to make each new studio warming session stellar, and I will, it's just a bit big to look at right now from here.
