Evolving Spirit Massage & Bodyworks

Yolanda, Owner

My journey of peace began in the pits of despair. If anyone has a reason to be joyless and miserable, I would consider myself a worthy candidate. The past few years have been difficult: bitter divorce after 13 years of marriage, the death of my parents and the death of my 16 year old son in a sudden and tragic manner. With each loss I was slipping away. Sliding into a dark hole that grew in my soul. My journey of healing began with stillness, then grew as I surrounded myself with positive, healing encounters such as massage, reiki, meditation and journaling. As I continue to grow, I am so grateful for the intimate relationships that have nurtured me. Every client I serve, serves me as well. Massage and bodywork is my divine purpose and I gladly share that work with anyone who desires to Evolve!

The Evolving Spirit Experience

The energy we surround ourselves with, if done positively and appropriately, can create environments of endless possibilities. Our divine purpose is to surrender to the possibility of becoming our best selves.

As a Certified Massage Technician, I have focused all of my talent and skill towards optimum relaxation for my clients. As a Reiki practitioner, each time I provide a service, a connection to Spirit is made. Every. Single. Time. Prior to each session I perform energy rituals to provide a customized experience to assist each client.

The Evolving Spirit Experience creates a space where healing and balance can begin for individuals who dare to evolve.

Your First Visit

Upon arriving at our secure location, you are greeted with an offer of green tea or water for your comfort. A brief consultation precedes each session. During our consultation, the completion of required forms and session goals are discussed. This initial connection is vital to the Evolving Spirit experience and prompt arrival for your appointment is essential.

Session Preparation

Clients are led to our relaxing treatment room to prepare for their custom experience. Concise instructions on proper disrobing and table placement are given.

Office Policies

Cancellation

Evolving Spirit requires services paid in full prior to appointment confirmation. Payments are made via credit card or other pre-payment applications. Confirmation of appointment will not occur until payment has been received. Clients who fail to show or call to cancel an appointment, will not be given a refund. Clients who call within 24-hours’ notice of the scheduled appointment time will be issued a credit for a rescheduled date. However, if I need to cancel any appointment with less than 24 hours’ notice, a full refund/credit will be issued.

Tardiness

A brief consultation occurs prior to any service so it is imperative that you arrive on time. Appointment times will not extend beyond the scheduled appointment time. In the event of an emergency please call the office.

Illness

Massage/bodywork is not appropriate care for infectious or contagious illness. Please cancel your appointment as soon as you are aware of an infectious or contagious condition. If it is within the 24-hour notice period, the appointment will be rescheduled with a credit.

Client Rights

At any time during a service, clients have a right to refuse and/or stop any service. Client may request a change in pressure, music, or bodywork methods. Evolving Spirit is committed to providing a safe and nurturing environment at all times.

Professional Atmosphere/Scope of Practice

Requests or suggestion of any activity of a sexual nature will not be tolerated. Any solicitation will promptly end the session and be reported to the appropriate authorities.

The breast and genital areas will not be massaged under any circumstances. Clients will remain properly draped at all times. Disrobing will only occur when I have left the room.

As a member of the Association of Bodyworkers and Massage Professionals and the State of Delaware Massage and Bodywork Board, I follow all state rules and regulations. As a Certified Massage Technician and Reiki Practitioner, I do not diagnose or prescribe for medical conditions nor am I allowed to provide treatment for a specific condition. I am required to refer you for diagnosis and to follow recommendations of your physician.
