Health & Safety

Your health, safety, and wel-lbeing are my number one priority. I have outlined below some conditions and health concerns that might not be suitable for the various massage offerings at Halcyon Massage Therapy. 


If you have a specific question about your ability to safely receive massage therapy I encourage you to speak with your health care provider before scheduling an appointment.  


I am a licensed massage therapist and will operate within the scope of my training and education. 

I am not a medical professional and cannot diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.

Pregnancy
