Practitioner as Parent
A Fine Balance BY ROBERT CHUTE
B
efore my wife and I had children, I spent 8–10 hours a day at work. Then one New Year's Eve, at the stroke of midnight, my wife whispered to me that she was pregnant. My professional life was about to change in ways I never would have predicted. If you're a massage therapist with kids or if they're on the way, you have things to sort out. Money, time, and management of the sweet new variables in your life make you reprioritize. Things change and it won't all be for the better, unless you deal with these issues in a conscious and proactive manner.
