Hi Elizabeth,
I"m certified massage therapist, yoga instructor and certified personal trainer.
I personally would not say anything to her after only one visit. Perhaps in the course of time, after you get to know her better, she might bring it up or you might inquire about the mark on her arm.
That is how I would handle it.
I hope that helps.
Best Wishes in your new career!

Hi all,I'm new to the group, relatively new trainer (as of January). I just switched careers from the computer industry to fitness.Anyway, I have a question. I have a new client. She's 17 & during our first session, I noticed that she had scars along her inner forearm (I assume from "cutting" info here: http://www.coolnurse.com/self-injury.htm ) It's all healed now - they aren't fresh scars. Should I say anything to her? to her parents? What would you do? I'll see her again for our second session in a couple of days.TIAElizabeth ShermanACE Certified Personal TrainerNESTA Certified Fitness Nutrition Coach
