The Educated Heart
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!
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.

you alone aren't immune to the trials and tribulations of life
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

Every School, Every Practitioner!! ( matagaia4 )
This is a must read, no matter what level a practitioner
is at- student, beginner, or, like me, in the field for
over a dozen years. A wonderfully, sensitively written
book about relationship dynamics in touch therapies, from someone who truly has walked the path we are all going to walk if we are involved in touch therapies, manual therapies, bodywork,
massage. I was fortunate to have some of this type of
training , in a very good way, when in schools, but I know
very well that it is rare, and getting more rare for schools
to provide these important insights. I know this because I teach the graduates of those schools, and sometimes receive work from those graduates. This, to me, is much more important than simply reading about "ethics", because a deeper understanding of relationship dynamics truly helps us form and understand our ethics in the first place. This is must-have insight for all schools to delve into,and provide ample training in- including the medical profession! If your work involves touch in a therapeutic way, read this book!
5 stars for this contribution to the field!

Simply the Best ( gyata )
When I tell people that I'm a massage student, the predictable response is: "Think of me if you need anyone to practice on...". As I observe my desk piled high with books and search my schedule in vain for a free hour to massage my husband, this seems like the dumbest/most insensitive thing anyone could possibly say to me.
The Educated Heart deals with issues such as these: of boundaries as a massage student and how to approach people that are reluctant to pay the full price for massage therapy. In fact, this easy-to-read book is packed with insights and simple explanations of complex concepts (e.g. dual relationships, projection). If I had just one book in my massage collection, it would be this. I recommend it be required reading in every massage school.
