Privacy Policy

All Welcome

This is an inclusive and affirming space. All bodies, genders and ages welcome. 

​

Behavioural Standards

  • Professional Conduct: Clients are expected to engage with therapist in a respectful and professional manner. Any form of inappropriate behavior, including but not limited to sexual comments, innuendos, or physical contact, is strictly prohibited.

  • Therapist Discretion: The RMT reserves the right to refuse treatment to any client or any part of a client’s body at their discretion and with just and reasonable cause. This decision is made to ensure the safety and well-being of both the client and the therapist.

  • Zero Tolerance: Any behavior that is hateful, or discriminatory will not be tolerated. This includes any actions or comments that create an uncomfortable or hostile environment.​​

 

Masks/COVID-19

Client are not require to wear masks, though you are welcome to do so if it makes you feel more comfortable. 

​

As your RMT, I have chosen to continue wearing a high-quality mask during treatments, given the close proximity and length of our sessions. Outside of the treatments, I will not be wearing it (e.g., in the waiting area). This approach allows me to feel confident and comfortable, while also ensuring clients who prefer to wear a mask or have a masked environment feel at ease.

 

Please continue to monitor your health and wellness prior to your appointment. If you have any cold/flu-like symptoms please email me to rebook. If someone in your household is unwell, please be sure to wear a mask at the office. **If you arrive at the office unwell, you will be asked to reschedule and the missed appointment policy will apply.**

 

This mask policy is subject to change if recommended by the community standard or Huron Perth Public Health.​
