Mutual Comfort and Boundaries in Massage Therapy | Respecting Client and Therapist Care

Healing happens best in a space where safety, respect, and awareness of your boundaries guide the experience. I strive to make every session a nurturing experience, mindful of your comfort, boundaries, and triggers.

Sharing Your Needs

When you submit your intake form, you can share information about PTSD, CPTSD, or other sensitivities you feel are important. While I will do my best to avoid triggers such as certain touches, scents, or other sensory experiences, some factors may be beyond my control. Gentle communication helps create the most comfortable and supportive environment for your session.

Boundaries and Environment

I maintain my own boundaries to ensure I can show up fully present for your care. This includes playing therapeutic, calming music, often with binaural beats, seasonal decorations, and scheduling self-care time. I may also need to reschedule appointments for medical visits, family emergencies, or personal vacations. While I understand this can sometimes disrupt your routine, attending to my own well-being allows me to provide the best possible care for you.

A Partnership in Healing

Trauma-sensitive care is a two-way process. While I am mindful of your triggers and boundaries, it is important for clients to be aware of and actively work on managing their own responses. Together, we create a safe, respectful, and supportive environment where healing can happen.

Open Communication

If at any point you have questions, concerns, or need adjustments during your session, please let me know. Your comfort, safety, and experience are my top priorities, and clear communication helps ensure your session is both restorative and nurturing.

I am a massage therapist providing trauma-informed care. I am not a psychiatrist or medical doctor. I do not prescribe medications or create formal treatment plans. I can, however, offer recommendations and supportive guidance within the scope of massage therapy, while maintaining professional boundaries.

With care and support,
