Safety
I have completed a COVID-19 infection and prevention course, which aligns with the standard hygiene protocol I have followed for 20 years. Measures include:
* Cleaning surfaces between clients.
* Using a fresh couch and pillow cover for each client.
* Washing hands and arms after each client or after touching a client’s feet before working on other parts of the body.
* Requesting clients to inform me at least 24 hours before their appointment if they suspect they may have a contagious illness.
It is now widely accepted that standard face masks offer little to no protection against COVID-19 or other airborne viruses. Furthermore, research suggests that wearing a mask while experiencing a viral illness may worsen symptoms (see the “Fögen effect”).
Facial expressions play a significant role in human communication and understanding. One of the primary goals of the Rolfing process is to help you embody your humanity more vividly. Face coverings adversely affect limbic resonance and vagal entrainment, limiting both your ability to express and my ability to read and interpret subtle signals.
That said, your comfort and safety are my priority:
* You are welcome to wear a mask if you prefer.
* I choose to follow the science and will not wear a mask.
Viruses (there are billions of species) are reported to survive longer on inorganic surfaces than on skin.
* I cannot work effectively with gloves, so I will rely on maintaining scrupulously clean hands, as I always have.
It has been shown that, for several days after receiving an mRNA injection, recipients may release potentially harmful spike proteins through the skin. To protect myself and clients who have chosen not to receive COVID-19 vaccinations, I ask that you wait at least five days after receiving any COVID-19 or other mRNA-based injections before attending your ReSet appointment.
If any of the above safety measures are unacceptable to you, I completely understand if you choose not to proceed with your booking. I would be happy to recommend other Rolfing colleagues whose COVID-19 protocols may better suit your preferences.
General T's & C's
One session of Rolfing is typically sufficient for the Rolfer to assess whether you will benefit from the process, and for you to determine if Rolfing suits you. If we agree to continue, I recommend scheduling the remaining sessions in advance to ensure continuity and secure a convenient time slot.
* Your session slot will be reserved 48 hours after your booking is received, during which time I pay the clinic to hold the space. If you cancel or reschedule after this time, this portion of your payment is non-refundable.
* All first appointments must be paid in full at the time of booking. Follow-up sessions can be reserved with either full payment or a deposit.
* Missed appointments or cancellations with less than 24 hours’ notice will be charged at the full fee. However, if I can fill the slot at short notice, no fee will be charged. Please notify me promptly by phone, text, or email if you are unable to attend.
Your comfort is important, but it is also essential for me to see and work on your skin. The following options are recommended:
* Underwear.
* Loose-fitting cotton vest and shorts.
* Two-piece swimwear.
Please avoid wearing:
* Bicycle shorts, panty girdles, or garments with heavy elastic or lycra, as they are difficult to work through.
*Sports bras, as they make mid-back access challenging.
I do not take before-and-after photographs unless specifically requested. However, I will need you to stand in underwear (or your chosen attire from the list above) briefly so I can assess your posture and create drawn visual notes.
Rolfing does not force change; it invites it. It is not a passive process but a collaboration between the Rolfer and the client to explore new possibilities in an open and safe environment. Your full involvement and commitment are crucial:
* Stay present during sessions.
* Make an effort to complete any homework or suggestions provided between sessions.
Rolfers are trained to fully support their clients during and between sessions, as well as for a reasonable time afterwards. I am available to discuss any concerns arising from the work and can refer you to another specialist if your issue lies beyond my scope as a Rolfer.
Rolfing is contraindicated for certain medical conditions. It is your responsibility to declare all relevant medical issues or obtain your doctor’s consent before treatment. In the unlikely event of a situation where damages may be claimed against me, my public liability insurance is with Balens. A copy of the policy is available upon request.
