With permission from mom, I wanted to share a glimpse into real-time moments with one of the amazing kiddos I’ve worked with.
Some days looked like this.
Other days looked like a 20-minute session that only lasted 10 minutes.
Sometimes we were on the floor, in a beanbag, or on his bed with headphones and an iPad — whatever worked best for him.
It wasn’t just about the massage. It was about communication, trust-building, and creating a safe space where he could let me know:
• “I’m done for today.”
• “I don’t like how that oil feels.”
• “This is how I’m most comfortable.”
It also meant learning to communicate with him in the way that made sense for him — not expecting him to adjust to me, but me adjusting to him.
This is why the in-person consultation is a required part of Inclusion Wellness services.
It gives me the opportunity to meet each client where they are — physically, emotionally, and neurologically — so I can create an individualized care plan that truly fits their needs.
Not every session needs to be 60 minutes. Sometimes, a short, focused 20-minute session is just right — and even that might only last 10 minutes. And that’s okay. Booking more than necessary can be overwhelming and, honestly, a waste of time and money.
Inclusion Wellness WNY was created with this kind of care in mind.
It’s more than massage.
It’s trust.
It’s flexibility.
It’s intention.
