Terms of Service

The short version: this is bodywork, not medicine, and it works best when you tell Patricia what is going on with your body.

This is not medical treatment

Massage, acupressure, lymphatic drainage, cranialsacral therapy, reflexology and facial work are complementary bodywork. None of it is medical care, and nothing on this site is medical advice.
Patricia does not diagnose, prescribe or treat any illness or injury, and nothing here is a substitute for seeing a doctor.
If something hurts in a way you do not understand, see a doctor. Keep taking what you have been prescribed; bodywork is not a reason to stop.

Before the first session, Patricia will ask about your health: injuries, surgery, medication, skin conditions, pregnancy, anything recent.
Some conditions mean a technique has to change or wait. She can only account for what she knows about, so tell her everything, and tell her again if something changes between visits.
Say so during a session if anything is uncomfortable. Pressure is adjusted on the spot.

An appointment is confirmed when Patricia confirms it, not when the form is sent.
Payment is due at the end of the session unless you have bought a package, which is paid for up front.
Prices include travel anywhere in the greater Sacramento area. Bodywork is not taxed in California. Gratuity is not included and is never expected.

You are being asked to let one person into your house, and she is being asked to walk into a stranger's. Both of those deserve respect.
Draping is not optional. You are covered throughout except for the area being worked on.
Patricia will end a session immediately, and keep the full fee, if anything is said or done that makes the work sexual or makes her unsafe. There is no second instance.

Patricia is licensed and insured, and she works within what she is trained and certified to do.
Bodywork carries ordinary risks: soreness for a day or two, bruising on deeper work. Telling her about your health beforehand is what keeps those ordinary.
Nothing in these terms limits liability for anything the law does not allow to be limited.

These terms can change. The version on this page at the time you book is the one that applies to that booking.
