Zero Tolerance Policy

​Understanding the Stigma

​Unfortunately, the massage therapy profession continues to face an inappropriate stigma. Due to widespread misrepresentation in media and the existence of illegal establishments masquerading as legitimate businesses, some individuals mistakenly believe that licensed massage clinics offer services of a sexual nature.

After Life Massage is a Licensed Massage Clinic staffed by Licensed Massage Therapists (LMTs). We are healthcare professionals dedicated to therapeutic treatment and healing through evidence-based massage techniques.

​

To Our Valued Clients:

We apologize that this policy must be so prominently displayed on our website.
As a business that promotes online and maintains a public presence, we unfortunately encounter these situations far too often. This explicit policy is necessary to deter inappropriate behavior before it occurs and to clearly communicate our boundaries.

The vast majority of our clients are respectful individuals seeking legitimate therapeutic care.
We are grateful for your understanding and your respect for our profession.
