Amy shares how even healers reach a breaking point, what compassion fatigue really looks like for massage therapists, and how to return to center through grounding, allowing, and letting go. With honesty, humor, and heart, she offers a map for staying steady in the storm — whether that storm is at the massage table or in your own life. You’ll learn: What compassion fatigue looks and feels like for bodyworkers. How Neutral Space protects your energy and your clients’ healing. The seven elements of holding space without over-giving. Why allowing, not forcing, creates deeper healing outcomes. Amy’s real-life journey through loss, burnout, and rediscovering balance.
