Informed consent
Prior to each session, a treatment plan will be discussed with you.

Scope of practice
Massage Path employs licensed professionals and is 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 to follow recommendations of your physician.
Confidentiality and conversation
The discussion between the massage therapist and the client is confidential. The client may or may not choose to talk during the massage.
Respect for client needs and boundaries
WE ARE HAPPY TO adjust pressure, room/table temperature, music volume, work longer on an area, or move on if you request that.
THE CLIENT MAY CHOOSE TO: retain as much clothing as needed for comfort, refuse any specific massage techniques, stop the massage at any time, and is free to leave.
The client will always be modestly draped. Only the area being massaged WILL BE UNCOVERED. The clients will be informed of the area to be massaged.
Occasionally, an emotional response to the massage occurs. If this happens, IT IS OKAY to express the feelings in our safe, non-judgmental environment—or you may request privacy and end the session. THE CLIENT IS IN CONTROL.
Cancellation policy
We require a minimum of 24 hours notice in order to cancel or change an appointment. After this time, We will charge at least 50% of the deposit for the service fee, to cover our losses. This amount is often more, of clients booked multiple services in one visit.
No-show policy
These are the worst-case scenarios that you better to prevent and discourage at all costs. No shows are usually charged 100% of your deposit.
