Policies

Picture

Here’s the way I look at it: we lay down the law so that we can live freely in grace. Everyone benefits when we know the rules.
 
 
Here’s my policy: respect.  I respect you, and I expect the same from you of me.   So to respect me, here’s what you can do:

  • Show up on time.  I know Cincinnati traffic is wild.  I’m pretty flexible with time, but I can’t always extend our session, so don’t expect it.   I will if I can.
 
  • Practice good hygiene.  At the end of the day, you won’t be as clean as you are right after a shower; I get that.  Our feet can get grody during the day; I have hot towels that can take care of that.  I couldn’t care less if you haven’t shaved your legs or arm pits.   But if you smell, I’ll refer you to a medical doctor to make sure there’s nothing medically wrong that you need treatment for.    
 
  • Cancel your appointment if you think you might be coming down with something.  Massage can intensify the symptoms of a cold and flu, making you utterly miserable, though you may get better quicker.  But I can’t get sick and see clients.  So when folks magnanimously share their germs with me, it’s not just a few miserable days. It also means days of lost business and income.  
 
  • When you have to cancel, let me know as soon as possible. Someone else may need your time. I have the best clients, so I don’t charge a cancellation fee.   I understand that life happens.  But you need to understand that I don’t like people playing with my time.   If I sense that’s happening, I’ll have to reconsider my cancellation fee policy.  This will involve having reservations being held by credit cards and charging folks $40 for cancelling.  Life’s too short for all that nonsense.  So don’t play with my time.  
 
  • If you’re looking for a happy ending, go watch It’s a Wonderful Life.  It’s a great movie.  I am a medically licensed professional, not a sex worker.  Any sexual advances will result in the immediate termination of the massage with full payment and dire consequences that may involve police, judges, and your mother.   Go elsewhere.  
 
  • If you’re under 16, one of your parents will need to be at the initial consult and massage and stay in the room with you.  If you’re 16 or 17, a parent will need to be nearby if not in the treatment room after the initial appointment. Spouses are welcome to sit in the treatment room if that will help you feel more comfortable.
 
  • If I’m not able to help you, I may refer you to someone whom I think will be a better fit.  That doesn’t mean that there’s something wrong with you!  It means I’m trying to find you the best person to work with in order that you might find the healing you’re seeking.  That person might not be me.  Or it might not be me at this time.  
 
  • If your session didn’t go as you had hoped, tell me so that I can make modifications.  I don’t always get things right, but I want to.  I can’t, though, if you don’t tell me what’s not working.  Part of what’s so great about massage is that it’s a safe place to learn how to ask for what you need and have it happen.
