This intake form may be a little more extensive than what you've been asked to fill out for prior massage therapy. I appreciate you taking time to fill it out. Everything on here provides valuable information so that I can deliver safe, compassionate, comfortable and effective outcomes for any and all sessions. 

Please do your best to complete your intake at least 24 hours prior to the appointment.

Informed Consent for Therapeutic Massage - IF YOU ARE LEGAL GUARDIAN OR POA PLEASE FILL OUT SECOND OPTION

  • discontinue the entire massage session, or any part of the session, at any time and for any reason
  • request the massage to be given through a drape rather than directly on my body, at any time for any reason
  • provide a witness who will be in the room with me while I receive massage

I do not bring a massage table for palliative or hospice massage, but rather massage the patient/client where ever they are most comfortable (such as bed or a recliner).

If you are filling this out for someone else, please just do the best you can.

Many times, palliative and hospice massage is very gentle and light work, but not always. It can vary greatly due to the individual. Some of the advanced clinical work I do can affect many medical conditions. Please be forthcoming with your answers so that I may provide an effective and safe session for you.

In the comment box, please indicate time period for each condition:

Decubitus Ulcers (pressure sores, bed sores) are not uncommon when someone is confined to sitting and laying in bed. 

Decubitus ulcers develop in stages, with each stage having distinct symptoms:

Stage I: Discolored skin, often with no open wound
Stage II: Blistering or abrasion
Stage III: Full-thickness skin loss, exposing underlying tissue
Stage IV: Full-thickness skin loss, exposing bone or muscle

Please refer to the above info when answering the following questions.

Other

Certain medications can affect how your body responds to massage. There may be certain forms of treatment that need to be adjusted accordingly. For your safety, please list ALL names of PRESCRIPTION MEDICATIONS AND ANY/ALL NATURAL SUPPLEMENTS AND OVER THE COUNTER REMEDIES regularly taken. 

Medications

It's very important for me to know of any recent or past injuries as well as surgeries you may have had. Approx dates, location and name of injury if you know that.

Injuries
Surgeries
optional PULE (blessing)

The traditional lomilomi I practice while very clinically based, is also spiritually grounded. As part of this lomilomi practice, I offer a non-religious/non-denominational PULE (blessing) at the beginning of the session for every client in the spirit of aloha.  

I aim to create a comfortable, safe, relaxing space optimum for healing.

I am more than happy to omit this from your session if that is your preferance. THIS IS OPTIONAL.

You will receive the same professional treatment and outcome regardless of your choice.

I can say this silently or out loud. 

Here are a couple of examples:

"Spirit of Peace, Spirit of Harmony, Spririt of love, bless "name of client" from the top of their head to the soles of their feet, throughout every breath and beat of their heart and in all important areas of their life. May "name of client" receive whatever they need today to restore their whole being to one of peace, balance, joy and ease. Aloha and so it is."

"Guide my hands, my head and my heart to make this the very best session possible for "name of client". May they easily access the innate healing that is for their highest good within them to bring about balance, harmony and ease for body mind and spirit. Aloha and so it is." 

I can customize it according to beliefs and preferred vocabulary and add in specific intentions if you wish.
