She drew a diagram for me around my attachment style and her attachment style and outlined some differences we may encounter but encouraged me to bring up anything that I feel towards her. All feelings are welcome here, she said.

I see lots of positives from these. I think you will do well with someone trained in body work and I think it is great that she already recognized that you will have an early attachment to her. I bet diagramming your and her attachment styles helped the intellectual side of you understand her better and how your work together might look like. In fact, simply recognizing that her attachment style plays into the relationship is a big plus in my book.
I wish you the best Mona.
