When Life Teaches Through My Clients
There’s a pattern I’ve come to trust over the years — one that shows up whenever I’m in a season of real integration.
Whatever I’m working with in my own life seems to arrive, gently and persistently, through my clients.
It’s not something I plan. It’s something I notice.
Lately, that theme has been pace.
I’ve been exploring how to move through my days with awareness instead of urgency — how to stay present even while doing things efficiently and well. And almost without exception, the clients coming in recently have been sharing the same experience: rushing, feeling depleted, holding tension, getting injured, feeling like there’s never enough time.
Different people. Same story.
That’s when I pause and smile. Because I’ve learned to recognize that moment.
It’s the universe saying, “Teach what you’re learning.” ✨
Healing, I’ve found, is never one-directional. We don’t complete a lesson and then pass it on neatly wrapped. We walk through it together. My clients become mirrors, and the treatment room becomes a shared classroom.
When I guide someone to slow their breath, my own breath lengthens.
When they soften their pace, something inside me settles too.
That, to me, is flow.
Not something mystical or abstract — but alignment made visible. Life organizing itself around what we most need to embody, offering repetition not as punishment, but as invitation.
When these themes repeat, I no longer ask why is this happening again?
I ask instead: what is asking to be lived more fully?
The classroom is everywhere.
The syllabus keeps changing.
And when we’re willing to stay present, even our challenges become teachers.
