Indispensable April 17, 2009
Nadia Bertin (USA)
I had heard about this book when at school but never has time to buy it until recently. Now that I have read it, I wish I had bought it BEFORE my practicuum. Clearly written, detailed, sensible, this book is indispensable for ANY massage therapist, self-employed or employee. This is the bible of professionnal communication for any bodyworker.
Good for anyone in the field April 1, 2009

I am a female licensed Esthetician and I date men. I get hit on at least twice a week by a female client. For awhile I was really confused about this. I joked and even blamed it on my short hair and the lack of makeup I wear on the job. I was ignorant until I read this book! I can't believe how narrow my understanding was before reading. Now it all makes sense. So no I am not a massage therapist but I do touch people and work closely to them. I find that the women who become attracted to me are the ones with the worst skin problems. After getting an idea of how this can affect someone in need of not only physical relief but any type of relief I finally understood. I don't see things the same anymore. I now know we are all just victims of our own subconscious and that the crushes will pass but that kindness and understanding will leave a lasting impression.

The Educated Heart captures the essence of optimizing tableside manner and conduct and should be required reading for every novice and veteran massage/bodyworker. It has the potential to upgrade the professional image of all manual practitioners.
Immensely readable and engaging, it covers every aspect of client-practitioner interaction. An indispensable source for all of my teaching.

exceptional! August 14, 2007
Jeanenne Mace (Rosamond, Ca. USA)
This book is exceptional!!!! It should be required reading at all massage therapy schools. Setting clear boundaries helps clients to take my profession more seriously. Some of the examples given have actually been experienced by me!!! Transference and countertransference were two words that were defined in my school but not how to deal with different ways in which people experience them.....Very needed and very helpful information covered this ground. The illustrations gave warm humor to each chapter. Thank you Nina McIntosh for this much needed book....one that will be referred to in my business for many years to come! Jeanenne Mace Ms.T.

I tell everyone to read this book. Especially massage therapist I coach. With all the drama's of life not every situation can be preconcieved and given an alternate in how to resolove situtations but this book gives you more than enough to understand and turn things around. Even my cleints who aren't in the field of bodywork asks for this book to be in my waiting room.The Tipping Point: How Little Things Can Make a Big Difference
