Bodywork by Becca

We wined and dined in honor of our accomplishments in the Best of St. Tammany, collectively sharing insights and experiences, and collaborating creatively in the most necessary form of community…girlhood.

Thank you 401thehampshire for an amazing experience. 10/10 would do it again.

My favorites the duck empanadas, the feta bake, the bourbon oyster, the key lime pie 🤤

Thank you Allison Mondello and The Massage Marvels for such an incredible, inspiring, and inclusive night.

We did it !!!

Humble brag
my last client drove all the way from Fairhope Alabama for his massage.

This week I had a client who disclosed to me that a male therapist made her feel unsafe and uncomfortable.

The draping was loose causing her to feel exposed and unsecured.

His technique made her question his intentions.

Lastly she reported that she laid there just waiting for it to be over.

It’s not the first time I have heard these stories from women who sought refuge and were met with distress.

I know it can be very triggering for someone who has been through an assault or incident where they felt powerless.

Massage therapy is a very vulnerable art form. Where the client is placing sense of safety into the hands of the practitioner.

Our job is to make you feel comfortable in your in own body again, and to leave a massage feeling anything other than that is not okay.

So let’s talk about some professional red flags that you can avoid in the future.

1. Loose draping, we are educated on how to properly tuck and drape the body so the client is never inappropriately exposed. If your massage therapist doesn’t take the extra two seconds to see that you feel safe and secured.

Red Flag 🚩

2. Not checking in with your comfort level during your the session. Whether that being pressure or consent they should throughout your massage check in and see how you are doing. Not everyone feels safe to be vocal and they need to give you that opportunity to do so. If they don’t.

Red Flag 🚩

3. Ignoring your boundaries; even though there is a power differential between client and therapist, the client still has the say so. If your therapist is doing something you don’t enjoy tell them. You have to the power to course correct and if the therapist ignores that power. You also have the power to end the session. They set the stage but you light the lights and you can call it a night at anytime you want. If they argue otherwise.

Red Flag 🚩

At Bodywork by Becca your safety and comfort is my main mission. I want you to leave my office more connected, better aligned, and more in love with your life. I’m glad I can continue this safe space for yet another client.
