Our Commitment
Deep Engagement Massage is a practise that strives to create a safe, inclusive space regardless of race, sexual orientation, gender identity, and neurodiversity. It is my utmost belief that touch through massage can help us have the time and space to truly connect with ourselves again. To that end, please do not hesitate to voice requests that would increase your comfort. Our values are very important to our practise, and aim to promote client safety and wellness at all stages!
Feel Empowered to Speak!
I always spend time before the session to speak with my clients so that we have a clear idea of what you're looking for, any personal boundaries and medical contraindications. I truly believe that we work together to create an affirming environment. The saftey of my clients is my utmost priority and my work always aims to be both consent-conscious and trauma informed.
Healthy Safety Measures for Covid-19!
Furthering that policy of safety during Covid-19, the massage space is regularly cleaned and disinfected. Anyone showing symptoms such as: fever, vomiting, chills, shortness of breath, nausea, etc. is asked to stay at home and to rebook at a later date! Masks are not required for vaccinated clients. I am fully vaccinated and boosted but can wear a mask upon request.
Therapist-Client Confidentiality is Key!
Massage is a healing process that can take some time for the body to unwind. Because of that I want to assure clients that client-therapist confidentially! Personal information disclosed online or in-session remains confidential. I urge you to think of your session as a personal retreat into an environment where you can relax to focus on your personal wellness. Information entered into the website is held secure, and certain private information like credit-card details are not visible to me!
A Unique Treatment Space!
My in-house services are unique in many ways, but one way D.E.M. is unique is that the space that serves as a treatment area is also my home. When functioning as a massage space it transforms, both physically and with an intent to promote relaxation, well-being, and pain relief. Because that is the case I would urge you to treat it as you would any other professional space.
Please, please tell me if you have any allergies to dogs. While he is not allowed the treatment area, if you are uncomfortable seeing or greeting a dog, please reach out to let me know.
Clarity in Clinical Services!
Finally, Deep Engagement Massage is a professional practise that aims to avoid discomfort and ambiguity in clinical services.
Deep Engagement Massage works to promote a safe environment, which means I will dress in appropriate attire and drape clients mindfully. My practice works through both information and manual therapy, to allow clients to relax or work through their pain in a safe space.
The bodywork is strictly professional and requests that do not promote a safe environment of healing will be respectfully declined.
