Not getting through to client

[parisa film]

Hi all

I am treating my sister as a client for my aroma case studies and I just don't feel I am getting through to her properly with the treatment if you know what I mean. With my other clients you can see on their face after the treatment the relaxation/ calmness etc but my sister just does not seem to change at all. She says the treatments were lovely and that she feel nice and relaxed but I just don't think it is touching her deeply as it seems to with the others. There are no problems with her being my sister as she was very keen to be included and is not self-conscious about her body at all. I make sure the temperature of the room is ok before she arrives, control light and use relaxig music and have asked her not to talk during treatment (she is a bit talkative) and tried different times of day. She is not the sort of person who is constantly on the go but she is active.

Any other ideas????? Any particular sedative oils you would recommend?


Any help would be appreciated as I feel that this is not an effective treatment.

Hi Izzig
Don't worry, you're doing fine!
why don't you try doing a session where she can talk to you, i find that sometimes people chatter away and slowly the begin to chat less and less. She may be concentrating too hard on keeping quiet and/or subconsiously she is putting up barriers against any emotions/feelings/thoughts she is having during the treatment. My mother and sisters did the same at the start, now i'm lucky if they talk at all during the sessions but boy they do afterwards!
Hugs, DC

Hiya Izzig!

I wouldnt worry at all!

Sometimes you get clients who fall asleep and totally relax but other times they can seem quite alert and chatty all the way thru!

I must say in your sisters defence, Im one of the chatty ones! When Im given a treatment (any treatment!) I always find it hard to relax and fully let go, and Im an aromatherapist myself!!!

Good luck with your studies!

I started off letting her chat thinking she would slowly stop but she didn't! So then I tried asking her not to talk too much and think about the music playing but no joy.

Maybe I just have to accept that she can't fully let go like Trinity.

Hi
I wouldn't worry it seems you are doing a fab job. When i treat people i always let them take the lead. If they want to talk then i will chat to them but if they are silent then i just go with the flow.
