Fables from the Fishmonger's Apprentice

One of my responsibilities as a Rolfer™ is to empower my clients to take responsibility for their own health & well-being. Proverbially, to lavish a fellow with fishes does him disservice; my interest is not in fostering dependence. I strive to teach self-sufficiency. As a fishmonger might instruct another in the art of net-weaving & chasing sardines on the open sea, I strive to provide my clients with specific & ambiguous means to their own embodiment & flourishing. I can't take credit for this idea, obviously...

Over the following weeks, I intend to compile a series of posts on this topic—of learning to catch herring, as it were.
