Neither Massage Therapists nor Ayurvedic Practitioners are licensed to diagnose or prescribe

related to medical conditions. Please consult your primary care physician..

If Community Ayurveda needs to cancel, clients will be informed at least 24 hours prior to

If you are sick, please call ahead of time to reschedule.

 

Massage is generally contraindicated during illness as the body needs time to rest, recuperate

and return to a balanced state.

time, and said price for the session will still apply.

Community Ayurveda expects clients will arrive on time and free from the influence of heavy

Personal Code of Ethics

 

Community Ayurveda strives to uphold the following with respect and integrity:

​

We respect all humans seeking my services regardless of physical build, religion, ethnicity, political

views, color, creed, sexual orientation or gender. We will do my best to provide equal access to all

clients by providing reasonable accommodations as needed.

​

We realize that building a safe, supportive and healthy therapeutic relationship with our clients is

our duty and we will do my very best to cultivate this in every client interaction.

​

We align myself with compassion to provide each client with the highest quality of care, based on

informed consent and promotion of health and well-being. All therapies are optional, and clients

will be educated and invited to make their own decisions regarding their health care.

​

We maintain a professional attitude and appearance that is clean, hygienic, HIPAA compliant and

appropriate to the context of the interaction.

​

We will not treat clients or regions of a client’s body that are contraindicated for massage and may

result in harm.

​

We uphold healthy boundaries by honoring the client-therapist relationship and halting any sexual

behavior/words/gestures. It is our responsibility to keep the therapeutic space free of sexual

energy.

​

We take personal responsibility for our actions and arrive on time, clean, present and available for

each client. If our emotional, physical or mental state prohibits us from being fully present with

our client, we will reschedule the session to an appropriate time.

​

We will be trusted to perform treatment only within my scope of practice and training. We will actively

refer out to qualified professionals for mental health, morbidities, chronic illnesses, acute

illnesses, etc that are beyond our scope.

​

We will continue to educate myself through continuing education and research related to emerging

conditions/to meet the needs of our clients, within our scope.
