Treatment Policies

COVID Protocol
It is a priority for me to keep myself and my clients safe and healthy. 
1. Masks are required to cover nose and mouth throughout the session. I wear an N95/KN95 and encourage you to do the same. 
2. Please wash your hands when you arrive. There will be hand sanitizer in the room for you to use before and after as well.
3. Table linens are changed and all surfaces wiped down and sanitized between each client.
4. I am fully vaccinated and boostered, and adhere to strict social distancing and safety standards in my personal and professional life to limit virus spread.
5. If you have any possible exposure to someone who tested positive for COVID or have recently traveled or taken any higher risk behaviors I ask that you please contact me immediately to reschedule. You will not be charged a rescheduling fee in this situation. 

Cancellation Policy
24 hour advance notice is required when canceling an appointment. This allows the opportunity for someone else to schedule an appointment. If you are unable to give 24 hours advance notice you will be charged for the full rate. This amount must be paid prior to your next scheduled appointment.
 
Illness and emergency
Unexpected things happen in life, and sometimes plans need to change so we can rally our resources. In the event of an emergency or illness, please let me know as soon as able so we can reschedule.  You should not receive massage if you are sick, for both your health and mine.
 
Late Arrivals
Please arrive on time for your session -- your session will not be extended if you arrive late. If you arrive more than 15 minutes late or "no-show" without prior notice your appointment will be canceled and your card will be charged. The intent of this policy is to ensure you receive all of the therapeutic time and benefit of integration without being rushed. Regardless of the length of the treatment actually given, you will be responsible for the full session fee. Thank you for planning accordingly and arriving on time.
 
Scope of Practice
As a massage therapist, I cannot diagnose or prescribe treatment for any medical condition.  I may refer you to an appropriate medical professional for diagnosis or treatment.  While massage can be beneficial for increasing overall health and wellbeing, it is not a substitute for professional medical treatment and care.
 
Non Sexual Massage
The intent of this work is non-sexual. Any suggestive statements, discussion or actions will result in immediate termination of the session and you will be responsible for the full cost of the session. Requests for sexual activity will not be tolerated, will be viewed as solicitation, and reported to the proper authorities at my discretion. There will be no opportunity to reschedule.

I look forward to serving you!
