Earlier this year the city of Santa Rosa enacted a new law requiring all massage businesses to apply for a new certificate deeming the place of business as credible. This is attained with a valid massage certification (at least 500 hours of massage training at a qualified school, passing a competency test [MBLEX], submitting fingerprints, a clear background check and no negative claims against you such as inappropriate touching of a client), a zoning permit, and a business tax certificate. It is my effort to provide a safe and professional space that people can feel comfortable in, and to follow all mandated state and city regulations. I hope this highlights the foundation I have worked to maintain through the years even before I was a business owner. Everyone has a choice on who to go to, but if you're new to bodywork and am feeling timid, I hope these certifications make you more comfortable in your choice. ✨
