Zero Tolerance & Draping Policy Agreement

This Zero Tolerance and Draping Policy Agreement ("Agreement") is entered into on (Today’s Date) between Massage & Bodywork by Danielle and (Your Name). Zero Tolerance for Inappropriate Behavior As a licensed massage therapist and a proud member of Respect Massage, I am committed to maintaining the highest standards of an ethical, boundary-driven practice. I take my profession very seriously, I love what I do and am dedicated to providing a safe, respectful, and professional environment for all clients. I have a zero-tolerance policy for solicitations of any kind. This includes, but is not limited to, sexual jokes, innuendo, and inappropriate requests. Such behavior is taken seriously and will result in the swift termination of the session. Draping During Massage Different bodyworkers have different policies when it comes to draping with sheets, blankets, or towels during massage and bodywork. My requirements are that everyone, no matter their state of dress, will at least be covered by a top sheet during the entire massage, and only the area being worked on in the moment, will be undraped. Different styles of draping may be used depending on the area being worked on, but private areas (breasts/chest, genitalia, and buttocks) will ALWAYS be covered, no matter what work is being done. This is to maintain professional and ethical boundaries to keep both the client and practitioner safe and comfortable throughout the session. Thai Massage Addendum Thai Massage is performed with the client fully clothed throughout the session. It may require more close body-contact from the practitioner than a typical table massage. However, please be assured that these services are strictly professional. If this policy is violated at any point, the session will be terminated immediately. The client will be responsible for 100% of the service fee, no refunds will be given, and they will be blocked from ever receiving any services from me again. Furthermore, their behavior may be reported to the appropriate authorities. As the practitioner, I commit to always working in a safe, professional, and ethical manner. By signing this agreement, you, as the client, agree to its terms and conditions.
