Client/Group progress summary

She is becoming more and more strong and mobile in many areas of her hands and ankles. Also, more present to connect to her breath, she comes out of it still when she get wobbly in a pose and gets frustrated.

Reflection and self-evaluation

She is defiantly aware of her coming out of her centering during our practice. And is more understanding the the breath is key to getting our of her head to remain present but this is still a practice we are wrong towards.

Final Client/Group ReportAfter seeing your client/group (for at least 4 sessions including interactive intake)
Please remember practicum is a learning experience. You’ll learn more from sharing what’s accurate than from what might “look good”. Things you did well, not so well, problems and questions are all valid and useful tools to teach you. We can’t serve you to become the best clinician you can be if you don’t share your challenges and mistakes. Success is anything from which you learn. You can continue to add Session entries after submitting this Final Client/Group Report.
Plan for next session

We would like to continue to add on the practice we have created to some more strength and balance.
