Boundaries & Consent
Nothing happens without your yes.
Clear agreements are what make deep relaxation possible. This page sets out, openly, exactly how consent and boundaries are held in this practice.
Agreements before anything begins
Every session starts with conversation, not practice. Together we agree — in plain language — what the session will and will not include: the kind of touch, if any; the areas of the body involved; clothing; and the signals we will use to pause or stop. After the introductory conversation, you may be asked to complete the Waiver and Intake Form — a responsible written intake that is updated if your circumstances change. Where internal bodywork or other intimate touch may be part of the agreed work, the Intimate Consent Form may be used specifically to obtain clear consent for that element. Nothing is left ambiguous.
Consent is ongoing
An agreement made at the start is not a contract for the whole session. Consent is checked and re-checked as we go, and a yes to one thing is never a yes to anything else. Silence, stillness, or uncertainty are always treated as a no until you say otherwise.
Your right to pause, change, or stop
You can pause, adjust, or end any part of a session at any moment — with a word, a gesture, or simply by moving. You never need to explain or justify a boundary, and changing your mind carries no awkwardness and no consequence. I am eternally grateful for this arrangement. It should be celebrated and honoured since it keeps us both safe. Honouring a "No" IS the practice.
Touch and clothing boundaries
Conscious touch is one possible element of the work — never a requirement, and never assumed. Sessions remain fully clothed unless you actively choose otherwise, and any touch stays strictly within the areas and the manner agreed in advance. Internal bodywork and other intimate touch are never assumed: they proceed only where they have been explicitly discussed and, where applicable, documented on the Intimate Consent Form. Written consent supports clarity; it never replaces your right to pause, change, or stop in the moment.
Confidentiality and discretion
Everything you share — in enquiry, in conversation, and in session — is held in complete confidence. Records are minimal and private, and your visit is never discussed with anyone. Discretion extends to how we communicate with you: plainly and privately.
Scope of practice
This is educational, embodied work — not erotic entertainment, and not a substitute for medical, psychological, or therapeutic care. Where another kind of support would serve you better, I will say so honestly and, where possible, point you toward it.
Questions about boundaries are always welcome.
If anything here raises a question — or you would like to talk through a specific concern before deciding — the introductory conversation is exactly the place for it.
