MY COMMITMENTS

To build a trusting relationship between you and me…

Signatory of the Code of Business Ethics of F.F.M.B.E, I pay close attention to all my services and respect all my commitments. Upholding your right to intimacy and modesty, I will respect your intimacy during all of my massages.  

Important precision: There is no place for any kind of negative connotation that arises from my line of work (physical and psychic relaxation) in my services. My approach is to accompany you on the path to greater well-being. Correct and respectful behavior is required. (delete line about abnormality –we dont usually use that word in ENG). I thank my regular customers for the quality of interpersonal relationships that we have established, coming to me with this intention and renewed trust. 

Receiving and carrying out massages involve respect for standards of personal hygiene, both for your well-being and mine. Towels and personal protection will be provided and are clean or single-use. 

In the service of the person and his/her well-being, as a practitioner member, I completely respect the Code of Business Ethics signed by the Fédération Française du Massage de Bien-Être (no need to change name of organization) that ensures my adherence to professional ethics and related techniques used.

Membership to the FFMBE requires a membership without reserve to the signed Code of Business Ethics, and compliance with the spirit and internal rules of the same federation as well as with the current laws and regulations in France.
