Massage Etiquette

To help keep the massage room comfortable, safe, and ready for every client, I kindly ask that you please do not touch or disturb any massage room equipment or personal tools without permission. This includes the massage table settings, table warmer, stones, and any other items in the room that are used during your session.

Zero Tolerance for Harmful Behavior This is a safe and sacred space. Racism, bigotry, sexism, ageism, body/fat discrimination, religious or sexual orientation discrimination, harassment, threats, violence, boundary violations, and other harmful behaviors will not be tolerated. Please be mindful of the energy you bring. This is a place to heal, rise, and evolve.

I want to take a moment to be transparent and share my policy regarding massage appointments and recent vaccinations. Over the years,...

For my business to run smoothly, I need to operate on a strict schedule. Please respect my time, and I will, in turn, respect yours. When you schedule an appointment in advance, make sure it is marked on your calendar. I send reminders 24 hours before your appointment via text and email, so please plan accordingly. I do understand that life happen can arise with unexpected events, illness, or emergencies. That is why I have a policy in place that is is designed to help man

Over the years, a massage therapist learns the importance of establishing boundaries with clients. These boundaries create a clear framework for both the therapist and the client. Respecting each other's boundaries is crucial. I want to emphasize that I have strict boundaries in place, and I rigorously enforce them, particularly regarding sexual harassment from male clients. Too many callers, almost always men, ask inappropriate questions or try to push sessions into sexua

When I’m with a client I give my full attention to their care and I do not step away from a session to answer the door or phone. Accepting walk-ins would create time pressures and interruptions that reduce the quality of treatment for everyone.

Kink-informed care is rooted in the belief that everyone deserves access to safe, professional, and compassionate services without judgment or bias. Unfortunately, there is still a stigma when it comes to people with kinks seeking care. Too often, assumptions or personal biases from professionals create unnecessary barriers that prevent individuals from receiving the support they truly need.

To ensure a smooth and professional experience for all clients, I want to clearly outline my policies regarding appointments, cancellations, and late arrivals. Your time is valuable, and so is mine. Please read carefully.

Under Texas state regulations, massage therapy is considered a healthcare service. Therefore, all massage therapists must keep accurate client records, which include completed intake forms.

It’s always perfectly fine to ask, and I’m more than happy to offer one. A hug can be a simple expression of appreciation, especially for clients who have experienced pain or tension for months and feel relief after a massage.

Before entering a home or office, something as simple as wiping your feet or leaving shoes at the door can do more than keep floors clean. Across cultures, this practice has long been associated with energy and well-being. In China and Japan, for example, removing shoes before entering a home is a standard custom. Beyond hygiene, it is believed to help prevent negative energy from entering the space, keeping the environment harmonious and balanced.

Draping is an important part of every massage session. It provides warmth, comfort, and a sense of security, allowing you to fully relax. Draping also establishes clear boundaries so that your session remains safe and professional at all times.

The most essential key to both giving and receiving a great massage is communication. Open dialogue between client and therapist is vital for every session and sets the foundation for a safe, effective, and personalized experience.

Yes! Showering before your massage is highly recommended, especially if you exercise, work outdoors, or do physically demanding jobs. Clean, warm skin helps your massage be more effective by relaxing muscles, loosening fascia, and improving circulation. Exfoliating gently with a washcloth, loofah, or agate cloth can further enhance the benefits.
