Session and Consent Information for Emerge Her

Upon arriving at your home or chosen space, we'll create a serene working environment with a massage bed draped in luxurious sheets and towels. We will take a few moments to discuss your needs and desires for the session, emphasizing the importance of consent in massage at the start and throughout the experience to ensure you feel safe, nurtured, and in control. 

This session will bring together breath, touch, sound, and mindfulness, offering an embodied experience that allows for a full-body awakening. You will connect with your body on a level you truly deserve through a therapist-led massage experience like no other. 

Consent is our top priority, as we want our clients to feel secure at all times. This massage may include touch to breasts and genitals, but only where you have given explicit consent. There will be no penetration, and only external stimulation of the vulva region will be involved. You have the right to stop or adjust the session at any moment, and consent may be withdrawn at any time. As the client, you are in control, and a change of mind is always welcomed. We hold a safe space for you to fully surrender to the experience, encouraging you to listen to your body's needs, wants, and desires. We maintain a non-judgmental environment for any emotions that may arise during these sessions, ensuring you feel safe to release them and express yourself. 

After the massage treatment concludes, we will provide 10 minutes of aftercare, during which we will check in with you to see what you need in that moment. For some, this may be a comforting hug, for others, it might involve discussing emotions, or simply resting in a blissful state. You may require something entirely different. 

Before we leave, we want to ensure you feel grounded and at ease. Should you wish for additional time, it can be booked in advance or on the day, time permitting, especially if you feel you would like more time to decompress or if you need us to hold space while navigating any feelings or emotions that arise during the session.

At EmergeHer, consent in massage is not just a checkbox; it is the foundation of the entire somatic experience. Healing and deep relaxation can only occur when your nervous system feels completely safe. When we experience stress, trauma, or disconnection, our nervous system enters a state of protection, becoming hyper-vigilant and guarded. Sensual embodied massage is an invitation to step out of that survival mode, which is only possible when you are entirely in control of your boundaries.

Every session is a collaborative dialogue where your boundaries are deeply respected, honored, and continuously checked in on. By establishing absolute clarity around touch before we begin, we signal to your nervous system that it is safe to disarm. This shifts your body out of the fight-or-flight response and into the parasympathetic state, where your heart rate slows, muscles truly release, and you can safely move from protection into deep, embodied pleasure and relaxation.

Before we schedule your session, we begin with a 15-minute Discovery Call. This is a dedicated space for us to connect, establish a foundation of mutual trust, and ensure that your home environment is prepared for a deep, embodied experience.

Connection & Safety: To ensure a secure and comfortable experience for both of us, we’ll use this time to get to know one another. This vetting process is essential for maintaining a safe, professional practice within the intimacy of your home.

The Embodied Experience: We will discuss the specific nature of the massage and what it means to engage in an embodied session. We’ll align on your intentions and any physical or emotional expectations you have for the treatment.

Creating the Container: To facilitate a truly immersive experience, we will review your space requirements. We’ll ensure the area is physically suitable and confirm that the session will be free from interruptions, specifically from pets or other household members. This is so your focus remains entirely on the work.

This established sense of safety is essential, as it lays the groundwork for your nervous system to regulate, open up, and deeply integrate the upcoming therapist-led massage experience.

Before your session, there are a few things to ensure you get the maximum benefits from your therapist-led massage experience.

- Book your discovery call. This is essential for you and the therapist to get to know one another prior to sessions. During this call, you can ask all your questions, and we will ask you to provide some further information about what you want to achieve with your time with us.

- When booking the appointment, ensure that you will not be interrupted by other people or pets.

- Keep pets preoccupied and clear of the space; this is for your enjoyment and the safety of the therapist. We want to avoid any accidents that could happen if your furry friends are in the way.

- Have a space cleared and ready for the therapist to set up upon arrival. A minimum space of 2m x 2m is required, allowing enough room for the massage table to be set up and for the therapist to move comfortably around.

- Have a light meal or snack and drink water before your session. Well-nourished and hydrated bodies enhance the embodied experience, leading to deeper relaxation.

- You do NOT have to wax, shave, or remove any body hair. We celebrate all bodies as they come. We only ask that you are showered for hygiene purposes.

- If you consent to your head being massaged, perhaps with a little hair pull, there’s no need to wash your hair—save that for after our session.

- Have a comfortable outfit on or ready to change into after the session. Enjoy the glow afterwards in something that makes you feel good.
