We asked some brilliant folks to tell us about the best advice they’ve ever given to a client and have highlighted some of the responses below.

The best advice that I ever gave a client was “It’s not your house.” Crazy sentiment, right? Coming from your real estate broker. The Metro area is a competitive market. I am normally the first or the last stop for my clients. They have either been in a brokerage relationship where they felt the agent cared more about the deal then their future happiness, or they were referred directly from the onset of their experience.

I was a dancer and an actor before starting my own Pilates and MELT business. I’ve always loved movement analysis both as a dancer and actor. As an actor I loved approaching the body from a characters point of view and learning how people hold tension or emotion differently in their bodies. This feeds my work today as I work to help my clients unravel tension gained over their lifetime. Read more>>

The best client advice that I’ve received and given is be the client you would want to have if you had a business. This simply means be the ideal person or client you would appreciate if you were in business. Customer service is a two way street and I think a lot of people forget that. We want to receive great customer service but give the bare minimum in return. Being someone’s client is a privilege. The way you were able to select them as the service provider, I feel like the service provider has the right to accept or refuse services. Read more>>

Learn to live in the grey. Society measures life determined by the highs and lows or typically with their past and future; those biggest, happiest moments to the lowest, scariest, and most alone. From focusing on old memories to worrying about the future. I think of that as the ‘black and white’. Our mind, body and soul were not made for just the extremes as a way of living. Read more>>

As a fitness coach and trainer I have the opportunity to work with so many different people and personalities. When I meet with a new client I’m always interested in what led them to me and why they want to train. Once I find out their WHY, I remind them to always lead with that in mind. The best advice I continue to give is to make sure that when you’re hiring and trainer or a coach make sure that it’s the right fit. Read more>>

Don’t give up and always live by the 80/20 rule in everything you do! The 80/20 rule let’s you eat a “clean” diet 80% of the time and allow yourself to enjoy a few indulgences 20% of the time. We can even adapt the 80/20 rule to our everyday life. Read more>>

The best advice I have ever given to a client has been to get massages regularly drink lots of water after a session. Not drinking enough water might cause pain, fatigue, and Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness, after your massage. Read more>>

In working with physicians, it is important to create a safe space to allow for expression of thoughts without having the pressure to be perfect. My best client advice given is self-worthiness does not equal perfection. Self-Worth is based on how you see yourself from the inside out Read more>>

My best client advice was not everyone is going to believe in your dream. Your biggest supporters will not be friends and family, instead it would be people that have just met you. Read more>>

A lot of the work we do at EMG is centered around helping loved ones understand the disease of addiction and their role in recovery. It’s critical that each person’s healing is viewed as a part of a whole rather than in a silo. For an addict to continue existing as they are, they need a codependent. These are often family members (parents, siblings, spouses, children, etc.) We are skilled helping people understand this relationship while teaching codependents how to identify their enabling patterns of behavior, and how to establish healthy boundaries.
