WE ARE A SCENT/FRAGRANCE FREE SPACE

Esalen Integrative Massage is a scent, fragrance and chemical free space.  Nik, your massage therapist, has moderate scent sensitivities and over the years it has been increasing, causing symptoms of headache and nausea so please do your best to arrive scent free.   As Nik has shared more about having a scent sensitivities on their website and with clients, more folks who have scent sensitivities/disabilities have begun to come receive massage, so we, at our home, are trying to keep our space clear of any scents and chemicals to support Nik and the Esalen Integrative Massage clients. 
Thank you for your support and practicing being scent free when you arrive to you next session!

The button; "EBMC Resources Guide,"  is a link to support you in learning more about the
why's and how's of supporting those with chemical disabilities and arriving to our space Scent/Fragrance/Chemical free.

HOW TO BE FRAGRANCE-FREE?

Purchase products that say "free & clear" (laundry detergent deodorant, shampoo, conditioner, body-wash etc.) Also avoid going out in unwashed new fabrics, wearing essential oils and cologne/perfume.

WHY BE FRAGRANCE-FREE?

Chemical disabilities are not [often] visible and being scent-free supports others around you to be able to be in the spaces we all occupy.
