Terms and Conditions

Terms & Conditions for Gaffney Massage & Holistic Therapies:

Massage Therapy:

Sheena McLaughlin is a licensed Massage Therapist. Massage therapy is provided for stress reduction, relaxation, relief from muscular tension, and improvement of circulation and energy flow.

If I experience pain or discomfort during the session, I will immediately inform my therapist so that pressure/strokes can be adjusted to my level of comfort. I will not hold my therapist responsible for any pain or discomfort I experience during or after the session.

I understand that the services offered today are not a substitute for medical care. I understand that my therapist is not qualified to perform spinal or skeletal adjustments, diagnose, prescribe, or treat physical or mental illness.

I affirm that I have notified my therapist of all known medical conditions and injuries.

I agree to inform the therapist of any changes in my health and medical condition at each appointment. I understand that there shall be no liability on the therapist’s part should I forget to do so.

I understand that massage is entirely therapeutic and non-sexual in nature. Sessions will be terminated immediately and full session fee will be paid.

I understand that, because massage therapy work involves maintained touch and close physical proximity over an extended period of time, there may be an elevated risk of disease transmission, including COVID19.

By signing this release, I hereby waive and release my therapist from any and all liability, past, present, and future relating to massage therapy and bodywork.

Homeopathy:

Homeopathy views health and well-being in a holistic manner. Consultations include a comprehensive intake that carefully evaluates symptoms on the mental, emotional, and physical level. Clients will be asked about their temperament, personal habits, likes/dislikes and unique outlook on life. Providing this information will allow the homeopath to understand each client as an individual and to provide the most appropriate means of care.

This view differs from most conventional approaches, which typically limit concerns to the individual symptoms and their care. The goal of homeopathic care is to strengthen the constitution of the whole person, which results in alleviation of symptoms and an overall increase in health.

Confidentiality:

I understand that all information disclosed is confidential and may not be revealed to anyone without written permission, except when disclosure is required by law. (Disclosure may be required in circumstances such as: a reasonable suspicion of child or elder abuse or a reasonable suspicion that a client presents a danger to him/herself or others.)

Consultation:

I authorize discussion of my case notes with other homeopaths and/or health care professionals should assistance in remedy selection and/or case analysis be necessary (for me or my child) or if my best interest is served by such a consultation. In so doing, my right to privacy will be protected by withholding my name and all other identifying information.

Consent:

I am over 18 years of age and have voluntarily chosen homeopathic care for myself/my child. I understand that Sheena McLaughlin of Gaffney Massage & Holistic Therapies is providing solely homeopathic care.

I am aware that homeopathic care is not equivalent to care given by a medical doctor and that Sheena McLaughlin is NOT a licensed health care practitioner; when working in the homeopathic practitioner capacity.

Therefore, it is recommended that I retain the services of my primary care physician for appropriate evaluations and check-ups for myself/my child. I further understand that Sheena McLaughlin does not diagnose, prevent, treat, mitigate, cure, or prescribe for any particular symptoms, diseases, or conditions. I understand that Sheena McLaughlin will work to increase my (or my child’s) general vitality and overall constitutional strength. This consent may be revoked by me at any time in writing.
