​✘ Looking for a relaxation-only or spa-style experience rather than clinical, outcome-based bodywork

​

✘ Preferring to drop in casually, reschedule or cancel frequently, or decide last-minute whether to keep appointments

✘ Unable or unwilling to provide adequate notice (5 days) for cancellations or changes

✘ Preferring to communicate extensively by email or text about their condition instead of participating in a structured consultation and in-session intake

✘ Not open to a brief phone consultation prior to their first session

✘ Expecting to direct the session, request only specific techniques, or limit the practitioner’s ability to assess and treat appropriately

​

✘ Seeking ongoing conversation, emotional processing, or psychotherapy-style support during sessions

✘ Uncomfortable with a quiet, focused treatment environment centered on physical pain, restriction, and mobility

✘ Preferring a more flexible or informal structure rather than a consistent, goal-oriented care plan

✘ Unable to arrive fully present and unimpaired (including use of alcohol, cannabis, gummies, or pain medication prior to their session)

✘ Engaging with raised voices, demanding behavior, cursing, or confrontational communication

✘ Expecting physical or sexual contact, or to pose inappropriate comments or questions outside the scope of professional, non-sexual therapeutic bodywork model

✘ Looking for a quick fix without follow-through, or are not interested in a process that requires consistency

WholeSelf is designed for clients who value structured bodywork, mutual respect, and real results.

​

For those who strongly align with the above qualities, WholeSelf will not likely become a great fit.  :(
