Policies & Disclosures

Limitations of Massage
Massage therapists do not diagnose medical diseases or musculoskeletal conditions and massage is not a substitute for medical examination and treatment. Massage therapists do not prescribe herbs or drugs, including aspirin or ibuprofen, or medical treatments. They do not perform spinal adjustments and they cannot counsel clients about emotional or spiritual issues as would be provided by a mental health professional or spiritual leader. If you experience symptoms that lead you to believe you may have a medical condition, it is recommended that you visit a physician for diagnosis and treatment.

Adverse Reactions to Massage
Massage may lead to adverse reactions in certain situations or when used with certain conditions or medications. The massage therapist will evaluate your health history at intake and ask you questions to make sure it is safe for you to receive massage. In the event the massage therapist is uncertain that massage will be of benefit to you, he or she may ask you to provide a note from your physician stating that it is safe for you to receive massage. Please provide complete details of medical conditions and medications to your massage therapist during the health-intake interview. Failure to inform the massage therapist of all medical conditions and medications may place you at increased risk for adverse reactions.

Business Policies and Practices
You may book 60 minute or 90 minute sessions . Payment can be made via PayPal/Venmo/Cash/Check. I do not bill insurance companies for services. Plan for an additional 10-15 minutes during each session to update your information and discuss any changes to your health. Clients must cancel sessions with 24 hours notice or pay for the missed session in full.

Expectations and Rights
The client is expected to demonstrate good hygiene and not use illegal drugs or alcohol before the session (the use of drugs and alcohol make it unsafe for a client to receive massage). Clients are expected to refrain from any inappropriate behavior or immodest conduct. Such behavior from the client toward the therapist will lead to the termination of the session and refusal of further service.

Records
Client information is not shared with any members of the public or other health-care providers unless the client releases the information in writing. A court of law may order the client’s health-care records released to the court as part of a legal proceeding. Therapists are obligated to report information about the abuse of a child, elderly person, or mentally or physically challenged person in the event that such information is related during the session. Therapists are obligated to report threats of self-harm, or threats that the client plans to harm another person, to authorities.
The client has the right to end the session at any time should they feel dissatisfied or uncomfortable with the session in any way. Formal complaints can be filed with the state on the Board of Massage website.
