SCENT AND FRAGRANCE FREE PRACTICE

IMPORTANT... I am allergic to natural and chemical scents, including but not limited to perfumes & cologne, laundry detergent, essential oils and shampoos.  I ask folks to please come in as fragrant/scent free as possible to your session.  I get ill from certain levels of exposure and do my best to limit those.
Things that can help limit your scent/fragrances:
•If you are going to shower the day of your appointment don't use scented soaps, shampoo/conditioner or body scrubs.
•Don't put deodorant, lotions, essential oils or hair products on right before coming in.
•If you've had your hair recently dyed or treated wear a cloth wrap to contain any scents.  

Let me know if you have questions and here is a link to my scent free page with more details and resources:

Thank you for your support in being scent free when you arrive to your next session!

Esalen Integrative Massage is a fragrance and scent free practice!

I wear only fragrances free body products, use scent free oil and lotions during your session and use only scent / fragrance free cleaning products.

Nik uses PureGreen24 (an EPA approved disinfectant to kill Covid-19) to disinfect massage table and chairs surfaces and alcohol to disinfect door nobs and other surfaces.

For those who have MCS or other environmental sensitivities/disabilities- I strive to have a scent and free practice and cannot guarantee 100% scent free as sometimes clients come in wearing scents and there may be scents in the building materials / carpets that I cannot control.  We do have a Hepa air purifier in the space.  Please reach out if you have any questions.

I also want to honor that there are many healing, cultural, personal and access reasons that people use scents.  Please reach out to talk about how to work with conflicting / different needs.

Thank you!
