Attentive touch

Touch guided by consent, responses, pace and the client’s boundaries.

Attention is visible in practice

It means a calm beginning, noticing signals and being ready to change pressure.

It is more than an atmospheric phrase.

Communication moves both ways

The practitioner explains while the client can ask and pause.

This keeps touch predictable.

Awareness also includes pausing

The practitioner should notice changes in breathing, tension or position and ask about comfort when needed.

This does not replace your voice but adds another layer of attentive communication.
