Today was a strange day.

I had two new clients this morning, and they both represented very opposing ideals. They were like a pea and an asparagus in a pod. Like day and night.

This got me thinking that I’ve never really touched upon the subject of inclusivity, so I think it is high time I declare myself as it can be very important for some people.

I, Beatrix, representing Flow massage, welcome EVERYONE. I love diversity, and practice enthusiastic non-judgement (unless you are our current prime minister lol)

I don’t care what religion or idealism you belong to, what your gender or sexuality is, what colour your skin is, how old you are or how you look, you’ll be treated with the same reverence as everyone else.

I adjust my treatments if needed to accommodate everyone. I’ve worked with Muslim women who weren’t comfortable undressing for a massage; I’ve worked with far-right activists covered in tattoos, people deeply religious or pagans, plenty of LGBTQA+ members, people with crippling anxiety, skin problems etc. You name it, I likely worked on them.

I don’t have to think like you or even agree with you to still welcome you with openness and respect. I do not judge people: I don’t know their backgrounds and they owe me no explanation. They come for relaxation or pain relief, so that’s exactly what they are getting.

The only things I do not accept is rudeness and disrespect. Thankfully I very rarely have to deal with that, and I’m perfectly capable of downsizing anyone that needs downsizing in a fairly polite manner.

So that’s all, that’s my credo. Welcome to Flow Sports and Relaxation Massage.
