TAKING A TEAM APPROACH Priebe says , from a client standpoint , having many modalities under one roof makes things easier all around . She says health and wellness can be a sensitive and tricky topic for many and it can be a challenge to find a network of practitioners that you can trust .
“ Having multiple practitioners that clients can get to know over time in an organic way allows clients to feel safe . We all work together and communicate as one big network of support — it ’ s a win-win from both ends ,” she explains . “ We meet the client where they are . For example , if they come into ESO in search of physical therapy , I refer to Dr . Kelly . From that point Dr . Kelly will treat the client . If , in that time , she feels that the client can benefit from one of our other practitioners and services , she recommends it . We don ’ t apply pressure ; we simply share the benefits and how it can complement what they are already doing .”
Kelly adds that having all the practitioners under one roof allows them to talk in real time and work together as much as possible .
“ We can ask each other questions , collaborate on a treatment session , and better treat complex cases all while being in the beautiful studio ,” Kelly says . “ We learn a lot from each other , and it sometimes takes a team approach to best care for our clients and patients .” NBM

INCORPORATE A BREATH PRACTICE : Keeping your mind busy with a simple task can help focus your mind . A simple four-count breath in with a little pause and then a four-count breath out with a little pause is a great place to start . You can also try using a mantra or mala beads as a tool for support .
