Currently Playing: Why Becoming a Practitioner is Like Learning Piano

The past few years, I've been mildly obsessed, in a regulated curious sort of way, with what it takes for practitioners, especially in the somatic healing arts, to succeed and develop full-time practices that offer them not only fulfilling careers, but also provide an actual living ($income$) so they can live with relative ease, build a life, have kids, and so on, all while not burning themselves out into needing to quit. Here's the thing folks: you do have to hustle a bit when you are in these fields, but it has to be healthy hustle (fuelled with regulation + a whole lot of self-care!). You also need to be committed to practicing, not just with your clients, but with yourself... This is a teaser of a new interview I've got coming out next week with one of my longstanding Feldenkrais colleagues, Andrew Gibbons. Stay tuned for this talk, and be sure to get on my email list so you don't miss my email on Monday when this goes live: www.irenelyon.com/newsletter-sign-up.
