Scope of Practice

• Sacred Healing Massage therapists are licensed professionals with years of experience and are held to the highest standards of the American Massage Therapy Association.

• Massage Therapy is a profession in which the practitioner applies manual techniques, and may apply adjunctive therapies, with the intention of positively affecting the health and well-being of the client.

• Massage Therapists do not diagnose or prescribe for medical conditions nor are they allowed to provide treatment for a specific condition without a doctor’s supervision. The massage therapist is required to refer you for diagnosis and follow recommendations of your regular physician.

 

Respect for Client Needs and Boundaries

• Our Massage Therapists are happy to adjust pressure, temperature, musical volume, work longer on an area or move on if you request it.

• The client may choose to leave on as much clothing as needed for comfort, refuse any massage methods or the stop massage at any time.

• The client will always be modestly draped. Only the area being massaged will be undraped.

Professional Boundaries

• Requests for sexual activity will not be tolerated, will be viewed as solicitation, and reported to the proper authorities under the guidelines of the massage therapy policies and procedures. The situation will immediately be reported and the therapist will leave immediatly. The client will not be rescheduled if this occurs.

• When therapists work on chest, low back, hip & gluteal area, it can be worked through the draping if requested.

• Sexual interaction or discussion of any kind between the client and the massage therapist is NEVER appropriate.

• We do not massage anyone under the age of 18 unless the parent or guardian is in the room and signs the appropriate form.

Confidentiality and Conversation
