Safe space policy.

As a professional and as a consent-conscious person the right to safety for my clients and myself is of the utmost importance. This policy is designed to assure clients as to what they can expect from my work and to remind new clients of the professional boundaries I set for my practice.

To keep up with the ever changing masking policies, masking is now optional. Please state your preference ahead of time. I require clients to book through my website for contact tracing purposes. Frequently used surfaces will be disinfected between clients and hand sanitizer is available to all clients.

I value client-therapist confidentiality, and any personal information given, via website or in session is secure and confidential. While I do require a card on file be entered, I do not have access to the information as it is stored on a third party server.

I strive to make my studio space comfortable, safe, clean, and convenient for my clients and also expect that they will treat the space as any other professional work environment. I take a lot of care in making my professional studio clean and disinfected. I prefer to work in my studio so that I can keep the boundaries of personal and professional clear and obvious. Ambiguity can create discomfort and unease and that is the opposite of the intention I have for my business and my clients.

Additionally in order to create a safe, comfortable, and consent-driven environment for my clients and myself I will be dressed in appropriate attire, and the services offered are restricted to professional massage work. In the spirit of Nikolai Massage my massage practice focuses on healing the body of its injuries, creating a mutually respectful and relaxing space, and empowering my clients to walk away with a deeper understanding of the body’s architecture in order to increase health and mobility. 

All inquiries into touch falling outside of this policy will be politely declined. I thank you for your interest in the power of healing touch and over 7 years of professional massage experience that I can offer you, and look forward to working with you to achieve your health and mobility goals.
