Ethics and professional commitments

Your well-being, in a respectful and safe setting

Every reflexology session is, above all, a moment of listening, relaxation and trust.

I welcome you in a calm, caring environment, paying close attention to your comfort, your safety and respect for you as a person.

My practice rests on essential professional commitments, inspired in particular by the guidelines of the Reflexology Association of Canada.

Respect, listening and kindness

Everyone is welcomed with respect, without judgement or discrimination.

I commit to:

  • Paying attention to your needs, expectations and concerns.
  • Respecting your dignity, your beliefs and your personal boundaries.
  • Adapting each session to your comfort and your situation.
  • Keeping a professional relationship built on honesty and trust.
  • Respecting your privacy throughout your care.

Since every person is different, sessions are tailored individually.

Confidentiality and discretion

Trust is essential to the relationship between a practitioner and their client.

The personal information you share with me is handled with discretion and confidentiality.

This includes:

  • Your contact details.
  • The health information you choose to share.
  • What we talk about during sessions.
  • Any notes needed for your care.

This information is not shared with third parties without your permission, unless required by law.

The data collected is limited to what your care requires and protected in accordance with applicable law.

To learn more about how it is handled, see the site's privacy policy.

Hygiene, comfort and safety

Your safety and comfort are among my priorities.

I keep the space clean, pleasant and suited to the practice of reflexology.

This includes:

  • Thorough hand hygiene.
  • Cleaning the equipment and surfaces used.
  • Using clean linens.
  • Particular care for any skin sensitivities.
  • Adapting gestures and pressure to your comfort.

Before each session, please let me know of any allergy, injury, unusual pain or health condition that may call for particular precautions.

A session may be adapted or postponed if safety conditions are not met.

Preventing abuse and respecting professional boundaries

I commit to keeping a strictly professional relationship, built on mutual respect.

No form of abuse, harassment, discrimination, intimidation or inappropriate behaviour has any place in my practice.

This commitment covers behaviour that is:

  • Verbal or psychological.
  • Physical or sexual.
  • Discriminatory or humiliating.
  • Contrary to respect for privacy and personal boundaries.

The gestures made during a session relate exclusively to the practice of reflexology and must be explained and agreed to.

You are free to voice any concern or discomfort.

These boundaries apply to the practitioner as much as to the people she welcomes.

The limits of reflexology

Reflexology is a complementary well-being practice that uses pressure techniques on different reflex areas of the body.

Its main aim is to encourage relaxation.

It is important to remember that:

  • Reflexology does not replace a medical consultation.
  • It cannot be used to make a medical diagnosis.
  • It does not replace any treatment prescribed by a health professional.
  • It must never lead you to stop or change a medical treatment without medical advice.
  • No therapeutic result can be guaranteed.

Reflexology is part of a personal approach to well-being and is not a treatment intended to cure a disease.

If you have unusual, persistent or worrying symptoms, please consult a qualified health professional.

Contraindications and special precautions

Some situations call for particular care before receiving a reflexology session.

Please be sure to tell me about:

  • A recent injury, fracture or surgery.
  • An infection, inflammation or skin condition on the area concerned.
  • Unusual or unexplained pain.
  • An illness that requires specific medical follow-up.
  • A pregnancy.
  • A major or recently changed medical treatment.
  • Any health situation that may affect how the session goes.

These situations are not always absolute contraindications.

Depending on the circumstances, the session may be adapted, postponed or advised against until you have medical advice.

If you have any doubt about your health, it is best to consult your health professional before booking.

Safety always comes first.

My commitment

Care built on trust

My aim is to offer you a moment of relaxation in which you feel heard, respected and free.

I take the time to understand what you expect and to accompany you with kindness, within the limits of my professional practice.

Because your well-being also begins with trust.
