I shared a video call session with Clarissa where she mentored and guided me about how I can become a better Cuddlist (therapeutic cuddling practitioner).
From the very start I was honestly amazed. Like really, really amazed. I came into the session running late and feeling some stress. When I saw her I immediately felt this sense of peace and calm come over me. In general in my life I'm on the fence about how much I believe in the concepts of personal energy fields and such as it relates to spirituality and how the universe works. Well the first moments and the whole call with Clarissa certainly influenced me to believe more in these things. It was like she had this pure energy of light that just drew me in, relaxed me, and I knew I was in really good hands before she even said a word. I'm still awestruck as I write this.
I think I'm an amazing Cuddlist, and still I was awestruck about how many ways Clarissa taught me to become even much better at profoundly helping and serving people in my Cuddlist practice.
I loved how she made it very clear that there was no authority or hierarchy in our session/relationship. That we are both humans and souls on the journey. This really helped me feel appreciated and trust her.
I am so amazed at Clarissa's integrity and purity. When I asked her if she was ok with me writing a review of our session, she said yes if it'd be a completely honest review. She said, "It's important to me that the review be authentic and not candy coated." At some point another thing she said was, "It's also important to me that you understand I'm not coaching you from a traditional business perspective, but from a spiritual perspective. As practitioners of healing work, spirit comes before money, and abundance flows from recognizing that truth -- and that is the model I work from."
As I write I'm trying to think about what constructive criticism I could write to make sure that I'm being authentic and well rounded . . . and honestly I just can't think of any. I think if we had a longer session, coming back to asking me what clear goals and changes I was going to make in my practice in the future would be helpful.
I feel so blessed to have been able to connect with and be helped by Clarissa. I got so much from it both professionally and personally.
Clarissa, thank you again so, so, so dearly much for everything. I am so deeply grateful.
