Service Type – Massage Therapy

I understand that Massage Therapists are not qualified to diagnose or treat illness or disease or to perform thrust manipulation. Massage does not take the place of medical treatment where needed. I know I will need to consult my doctor or medical practitioner if I have any doubts or questions. If I experience pain or discomfort during the treatment, I will immediately inform my therapist so that pressure/strokes/heat can be adjusted to my comfort level. I understand that Remedial Therapy involves deep soft-tissue work, and, depending on the severity of the problem, it is normal to feel some muscle soreness and tenderness within the days following the treatment.

Service Type – Reiki

I understand Reiki Practitioners are not qualified to diagnose or treat illness or disease. Reiki does not take the place of medical treatment where needed. I know I will need to consult my doctor or medical practitioner if I have any doubts or questions. I will immediately inform my practitioner if I experience pain or discomfort during the treatment. Reiki treatment may include the practitioner placing hands on or above my body. Hands may hover above but will not be placed on the breasts, genital area, or buttocks.

If receiving Reiki mentoring to support my Reiki training, I take full responsibility for my decision and do not hold Lisa Carse responsible for this decision.
