Commitment to High-Quality Care and Basic Rights

We recognize that the obligation for building and maintaining an effective, healthy, and safe relationship with our clients is our responsibility. We will demonstrate respect for the rights of all individuals by providing a clean, comfortable, and safe environment for sessions, using appropriate and skilled draping procedures.

 

Commitment to Do No Harm
We will conduct a thorough health history intake process for each client and evaluate the health history to rule out contraindications or determine appropriate session adaptations. If we see signs of, or suspect, an undiagnosed condition that the service we are providing may be inappropriate for, we will refer that client to a physician or other qualified health-care professional and delay the session until approval from the physician has been granted.

 

Commitment to Honest Representation of Qualifications
We will not work outside our scope of practice. We will adhere to the NC scope of practice guidelines and will only provide treatments and techniques for which we are fully trained and hold credible credentials. 

 

Commitment to Uphold the Inherent Worth of All Individuals
We will demonstrate compassion, respect, and tolerance for others. We will seek to decrease discrimination, misunderstandings, and prejudice. We understand there are situations when it is appropriate to decline service to a client because it is in the best interests of a client's health, or for our personal safety, but we will not refuse service to any client based on disability, ethnicity, gender, marital status, physical build, or sexual orientation; religious, national, or political affiliation; social or economic status. We will maintain clear and honest communication with clients and colleagues. We will not use recreational drugs or alcohol before or during sessions.

 

Commitment to Confidentiality

We will ensure every effort is made to respect a client's right to privacy and provide an environment where personal health-related details cannot be overheard or seen by others.
