Privacy during the session
During a massage, your privacy and dignity should be respected at all times, with proper draping so only the area being worked on is uncovered, and you undressing only to your comfort. You stay in control throughout, and a professional therapist maintains clear, respectful boundaries. You should never feel exposed or uncomfortable, and you are always free to speak up or stop the session.
Confidentiality of your information
The health details you share, your conditions, symptoms and personal information, should be kept confidential and used only to provide your massage safely and suitably. A professional service handles your information respectfully and does not share it inappropriately. Being open about your health helps us look after you, and you should be able to do so knowing it is treated with discretion.
Feeling safe and respected
A trustworthy home-visit service makes you feel safe, respected and in control from the first contact to the end of the session. If anything ever makes you uncomfortable, you are entitled to raise it or end the session. Inviting someone into your home should feel reassuring, and respecting your privacy, dignity and confidentiality is a basic, essential part of professional care.
