Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Tiffany Miller. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.

Tiffany, appreciate you joining us today. We’d love to hear about how you went about setting up your own practice and if you have any advice for professionals who might be considering starting their own?

I’ve been fortunate in the several iterations of my practice to have community support from both colleagues in shared spaces and also my community at large. My greatest advice to someone thinking of going out on their own would be to plug in where you live/work.

Put yourself out there in the real world, not in networking events or groups but in the things and areas that light you up. It could be movement, art, etc. Find something that lights you up and share your passion for your business or practice there. Your magnetism in environments where you shine will create the atmosphere for your business to thrive!

Tiffany, before we move on to more of these sorts of questions, can you take some time to bring our readers up to speed on you and what you do?

I have taken a windy path to my current practice which is a type of bodywork that helps people feel their bodies and change their movement and postural patterns so they can move and live with less pain and more function.

Anatomy Trains structural integration is a style of soft tissue bodywork that differs from massage in that we are working in the connective tissue system (fascia!) and we are using movement and gravity to help us accomplish our goals!

I started post college working in copy editing among various other fields before I got to know my own body and became fascinated with movement and moving well. The more I healed and got to know myself, the more I wanted to share the possibility of the joy I experienced with others.

I am lit up when my clients experience their bodies in a new way. This work is absolutely life changing.

I work with people in project format, looking at the issues we’ve acquired throughout life in a series of 12 sessions. After this journey I typically refer folks to a movement practitioner to help strengthen areas we’ve released restriction in and so they can understand themselves in their new form!

Other than training/knowledge, what do you think is most helpful for succeeding in your field?

Peopling is required in order to work well with humans. In this field I think it’s of the utmost importance to love and know yourself, darkness and all, so that you can connect to others and deeply hold space for their experiences.

We often hear about learning lessons – but just as important is unlearning lessons. Have you ever had to unlearn a lesson?

I used to think I was a slow learner kinesthetically. For example, learning a movement or type of movement practice used to be very challenging for me. I had a lot of self doubt surrounding my capacity to move and move well. That is changed tremendously and I recently had to rewrite that story because it’s no longer true. Sometimes it’s hard to let go of negative things we perceive about ourselves, but it’s worth the challenge and self reflection.
