Client/Group progress summary

This client is mildly progressing, she does a bit everyday. She would benefit from a bit more work daily in her asana practice.

Reflection and self-evaluation

She opened up today a bit in her body being and feeling different, with this she was to do more and try new postures and see if she can grow moraine her practice.
I believe this will take her some time but she seems committed and happy with her progress.

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.
