Tips & suggestions for a smooth session

• Show your client where you'd like your treatment to take place and inform them of the treatment process, allow them time to communicate any questions or concerns before getting started.
• Communicate with your client about how they feel during the treatment and take any necessary breaks and provide any required advice or support. 
• Allow your clients adequate time to slowly get up and rest if need be after your session. Once your client is up you should check they are feeling well and are not experiencing any pain or discomfort.
  
• Invite the client to leave a testimonial and/or provide you with feedback following your treatment on the Mamma platform or to hello@mammawellbeing.com. It is helpful we receive this information as it helps us grow your credibility as a practitioner and the more positive feedback we receive the more marketing opportunities you will have on the Mamma platform.
