Clarified Bodywork LLC – An LGBTIA+ Inclusive Practice

A simple yet frequent question I get: Why focus on being an LBGTQIA+ Inclusive Practice?

My mission is to make sure everyone feels safe and respected on my table. But for some clients it is even harder to find safety, comfort, and avoid harassment or worse treatment in the simplest of day-to-day services they receive. It is also hard to know who will take those few but very important extra steps to make sure clients in the LGBTQIA+ community feel safe and protected, especially in a service that already asks vulnerability of it's clients. With that considered here are a few things below you can expect coming to me.

Respecting Pronouns

I will take the pronouns you use and introduce yourself with seriously. Should I make any error, I will correct it promptly. 

Consent is Key

Before and at multiple points in the session you can let me know what parts of your body you are comfortable having worked on. You always have the power to change your mind in a session at any time. If you start to feel uncomfortable, you can let me know and I'll adjust the session, let you take a break, or we can even call it short for the day.

Inclusive Paperwork

As mentioned above, my paperwork is customized, but if there are questions you think I'm missing to help take care of you please let me know and I will factor it into my next update.

Always looking to Improve

I am very busy behind the scenes and eager to learn and explore resources that will help me take better care of my LGBTQIA+ clients. If there's anything on your radar like classes, other providers in the community I can refer back and forth with, or other resources, please let me know!
