TRAUMA INFORMED STATEMENT

At Sensual Bodyworks, we recognise that each person’s body carries its own history, physical, emotional, energetic, and that in offering sensual bodywork we hold a profound responsibility to create a space of care, respect and trust. We are committed to creating a healing environment guided by the core principles of trauma-informed care: safety, choice, collaboration, trustworthiness, empowerment and respect for boundaries.

Our commitment to you:

We start every session with a gentle, open check-in: you are invited to share your intentions, your current state, any boundaries you wish honoured, and your preferences around pace, pressure, touch, language, and after-care.
Your consent is central. At any point you are free to pause, slow, shift, or stop the session. You remain in full control of your body and experience.
We honour your autonomy. While we may offer guidance or suggestions, we never impose. You decide what you’re comfortable with today, whether to deepen, soften, explore, or simply rest.
We prioritise physical and emotional safety. Our treatment room is a calm, comfortable, private environment in the Midlands countryside (and we can arrange home/hotel visits if that better supports your sense of ease). We maintain hygiene, clarity, and transparency. We will check in with you during the session to make sure you feel grounded and supported.
We recognise that sensual touch can, for some, awaken memories, sensations, emotions, or stories. Our touch is offered with presence, respect and mindfulness. We do not rush outcomes or push for performance. Your experience is unique and valid as it is.
We believe in collaboration. Your voice matters. If you’d like more space, less lighting, a particular support cushion, or a hand on your shoulder for grounding, simply ask. We are here with you, not doing to you.
We honour empowerment and healing at your pace. There is no need to “be ready” or “get it right”. Whether this is your first experience of sensual bodywork, a return visit, or a couples’ session exploring shared presence, you are invited exactly as you are.
After-care matters. We offer time after the session to integrate, hydrate, rest and reflect.
We maintain clear boundaries and professional integrity. We will never assume, pressure, or blur the ethics of consent. Your dignity and comfort are always top priority.

In choosing Sensual Bodyworks, you are choosing more than a treatment: you are choosing a space where your body’s intelligence is honoured, your boundaries are celebrated, and your capacity to feel safe, alive and embodied is central. We look forward to supporting your journey with gentleness, respect and awareness.
