Your Responsibilities as a Client:

1. Please show up on time for your appointment. If you arrive late we will do our best to accommodate but there will be no added time to make up for the time lost. Clients are to behave in an ethical way. Your therapist has the right to immediately terminate the service if any inappropriate comments or behaviors are made and legal actions may be taken. Clients have the right to end the service anytime. However, ending the service early still requires full payment. Services that have ended early because of inappropriate behaviors from clients will also require full payment and will be asked to not book again. At Ambrosia Massage LLC, we do our best providing professional massage therapy treatments tailored to promote routine relaxation, stress relief, and overall wellness.

You have the right to control your experience:

1. We want you to feel comfortable during your service, never hesitate to ask for accommodations. Tell your therapist what you want and don't want in your service. Clients may undress to your level of comfort, you may leave your undergarments on, leave everything off, or only undress from the waist up. As long as you are comfortable, rest assured our therapist can effectively provide a massage regardless. The therapist will leave the room when it is time for the client to undress. Time to undress and dress is already included in the service. Clients will be covered at all times with our secure draping techniques and only the area that is being worked on is uncovered. Clients can also request adjustment of pressure, music volume, lighting, temperature of the table and amount of conversations from the therapist.

Professional boundaries will be maintained at all times, and each client’s right to privacy, modesty, and comfort will be respected.

2. Clients are encouraged to communicate their preferences, comfort levels, and concerns at any point during the session. Professional draping will be used at all times to protect privacy, with only the area being treated exposed. Clients may remain partially clothed if preferred, as massage can be performed effectively regardless of the level of undress. At any time, clients have the right to stop or modify the session.
3. Harassment, inappropriate behavior, or requests outside the scope of professional massage therapy will not be tolerated.

It is Ambrosia Massage LLC’s policy to reinforce with all new clients that massage therapy is not in any way a sexually oriented business. It is unfortunate that the term "massage" has been used as a cover for prostitution. Sexually oriented businesses using that term are illegal and usually involved in human trafficking. Because of this illegal activity confusing the public, it is necessary for me to make it clear that any sexualizing of the massage session, all forms of harassment, and any type of solicitation will result in the immediate end of the session. The client is expected to leave the massage area and will not be rebooked. The incident will be recorded and reported to local law enforcement. This is why a client will not be scheduled for massage sessions unless they provide an accurate name, address, and phone number. Clients seeking therapeutic massage appreciate this strict zero-tolerance policy knowing that it assures them of a safe professional health care environment Email correspondence to and from this address may be subject to the North Carolina Public Records law and may be disclosed to third parties by an authorized state official.
