Care at Wild Hart
Care & access
Find out how we work together, adjust sessions to different needs, and approach access. If you have a question about the studio or your visit, you are welcome to ask.
Care shaped together
Your preferences shape the session
You can share preferences, ask questions, and offer feedback at any point. There is no expectation to endure discomfort or push beyond what feels appropriate.
Your choices
We can discuss the work before it begins. You can ask for a change, decline an approach, pause, or stop.
Your comfort
Pressure, positioning, and areas of focus can be adjusted with your feedback. Your preferences remain part of the conversation.
Your pace
We can take time for questions and pauses, and adjust the pace together.
A place for different needs
Care for different bodies and needs
Wild Hart welcomes different identities, bodies, backgrounds, and life experiences. You can come with a goal in mind or simply enjoy time for care. No previous massage experience is needed.
Gender-affirming care, in every session.
Trans, nonbinary, and gender-expansive people are welcome with every practitioner at Wild Hart. Choose the session that fits what you want from bodywork—rest, focused therapeutic work, connection, or support through change.
We respect your name, pronouns, and the language you use for your body. We’ll discuss clothing, coverage, positioning, and touch together, with room for your preferences to change. You decide whether your experience of gender is something you want to bring into the session.
Studio access
The studio is located up a short flight of stairs and may not be accessible for all mobility needs. If access is a concern, please reach out before booking so we can discuss your needs and whether the space is a good fit.
Conversation, pressure, and pace
You are welcome to discuss preferences around conversation, positioning, pacing, and pressure. We can consider what would make the session more workable for you.
Financial access
Sliding-scale sessions
A limited number of sessions are available each month on a sliding scale for clients who would otherwise be unable to access care at standard rates.
This practice follows a “green bottle” approach: those who are able to pay standard rates help make space for those who need flexibility, without requiring explanation or justification. There is no application process, proof, or disclosure required.
If cost is a barrier, clients are invited to reach out directly to inquire about current availability. Sliding scale sessions are offered when capacity allows and may not always be available.
This system is intended to support access while maintaining sustainability for the practice and the people it serves.
Before your visit
Care and access questions
Does the studio have step-free access?
The studio is located up a short flight of stairs and may not be accessible for all mobility needs. Please contact us before booking if stairs are a concern so we can discuss your needs and whether the space is appropriate.
Do I need to explain my personal history?
You do not need to share your personal history to receive care. We can discuss information relevant to the session, your preferences, and what feels appropriate to share. You are welcome to ask why a question is being asked.
What if standard rates are out of reach?
Contact us to ask about current sliding-scale availability. A limited number of sessions are available each month when capacity allows. There is no application process, proof, or disclosure required.
What professional boundaries apply?
Wild Hart Massage is a professional therapeutic practice. Clear boundaries help ensure that sessions remain safe, respectful, and supportive for both client and practitioner. Inappropriate behavior or requests are not tolerated and will result in immediate termination of the session without refund. These boundaries exist to protect the integrity of care and the well-being of everyone involved.
