Etiquette
Respect & Values
Expanding Eros is a space of safety and trust. I expect the highest level of respect & adherence to my values and boundaries from all clients. The foundational core of my practice is to do no harm. I have expectation this value will be upheld by all clients attending any service provision. I respect myself and the container I hold. I value clear communication, expression, authenticity, courage and vulnerability. I value my time and yours. I value generosity on all levels, gratitude and a loving energy. I value delivery of service to the best of my ability.
Boundaries
In session - primary touch (to the body or genitals) is one directional. Touch is given from Practitioner (me) to client (you). None of my sessions are two way touch.
My boundaries and consent are discussed at the start of each session and they are respected throughout duration of all services.
Communication
Being able to communicate with me in and out of session is important. Expectations, boundaries and consent will be outlined at the beginning of your session. Post session, is an integration space of 7 days. If in this time, anything arises for you that requires support, reach out to me. We can discuss your experience, offer support to this space and repair if required.
Drugs & Alcohol
All sessions are 100% sober. I require my clients to be free from substances 24hrs prior to our appointment. By entering my space you are agreeing to show up clean and free from drugs and alcohol. If I suspect you are under the influence, your session will be terminated and full session costs will still apply. If you are struggling with addiction issues I have avenues of support and help available to refer you to.
If you take prescription medications, ensure this is disclosed on the booking intake. It is important to discuss if medications taken may impair consent or safety in the services you are wanting to access.
Hygiene
I adhere to correct health, safety & sanitisation guidelines according to industry standards. I use hospital grade cleaning products and sanitise room between sessions as required.
I ask that all my clients arrive freshly showered and with clean & comfortable clothes. Please ensure you teeth are brushed, hair is clean and pay particular attention to clean feet entering the temple space. You must wear a fragrance free deodorant and please do not wear any perfumes, fragrance, aftershave, colognes or oils particularly patchouli as I am very sensitive to smells.
If you arrive to your appointment un-showered & unkempt, I will send you home and you will forfeit your deposit.
If you arrive sweaty don’t stress - I have wipes and you will able to freshen up.
Services
All of my services are heart centred and curated for you the client. However I do not offer full service or any 2 way touch. I do not offer “natural service” for any internal massage work. Please do not ask as my answer will be no.
Honour code and confidentiality
All session details and information are strictly confidential. Your information will not be shared with any third party. Each human has the right to educate themselves about their body, likes/dislikes and explore touch through the services I offer. I will not become entangled with political/social/religious judgements nor will I engage in domestic disputes. For me, the Honour code means thoughtful consideration of whether the service you are selecting is right for you and your life.
Aftercare
Aftercare is an important part of the deeper work I offer. We will certainly discuss this as a part of your session, please let me know what your aftercare needs are.
I have an aftercare open contact policy - which means if you have attended a session and you require support you are always welcome to check in with me and ask. If for some reason I cannot support you (ie; out of my skill set or you need referral to other specific services) this will be the manner in which I provide support.
Terms & Conditions
Booking & Vetting
All new clients (vetting) must have a 15min discovery call via zoom as an introduction to each other prior to our session. Please ensure you have organised your zoom prior to booking the service you desire. The cost of your zoom appointment will be deducted from your first session booked with a discount code.
All new clients (vetting) must fill out an intake form which requires you to upload a current photo ID. My services are strictly 18+ your ID confirms this.
WhatsApp booking is non refundable should you choose not to proceed with an appointment. If I choose not to take your booking, a refund of your intake fee ($25) will be provided.
All existing clients are welcome to book any service without new vetting.
All sessions are paid in full on booking the reason for this is; once you have made a booking I am holding that block of time for us only and refusing other work.
Arrival & No Show Policy
As a courtesy please notify me if you are going to be more than 5 minutes late, unfortunately I can-not extend session time if you are late. I recommend arriving 5 minutes early to enter the space on time. Your booking will be considered a no-show should you not have arrived within 20 minutes of the agreed time (with no communication). At such time, you will forfeit 100% service fee.
Rescheduling policy
I understand life can get busy and on occasion things can happen that are out of our control, this may lead to you needing to reschedule.
72hrs or more notice: Clients will be able to reschedule to one new date. If a second date change occurs this will incur a 50% re-booking fee of your chosen service.
72hrs-24hrs notice: If you need to reschedule our booking within this timeframe, 50% re-booking fee of your chosen service will be forfeited and a 50% re-booking fee will be required to reschedule. **Ref; Booking & Vetting point 5.
If I have incurred any other costs that aren’t refundable to organise this booking then these will also be passed onto you. Please note that rescheduling of any appointment must occur within 3 months of the original scheduled date otherwise payments in full will be forfeited.

Booking cancellation/termination by me
In the event that I need to cancel our booking, I will happily refund 100% your session cost if you do not wish to reschedule.
However, in the event that I terminate our session (either before or during) due to behaviour that I deem disrespectful, harmful or illegal no refund will be given of session fee. Some examples of this may include:
Boundary pushing /consent violation - either before or during the booking (i.e., asking me to do things I’ve already said no to, questioning my boundaries and/or screening requirements).
Filming or recording without consent.
Intoxication - If you are under the influence, or I suspect you are intoxicated the session will be terminated immediately.
Body preparations for appointments
For health and safety, any sessions that include your full body external or internal touch require me to have a brief health check prior to commencement of your session. If you have ANY bumps, lumps, unusual odours/discharge, redness or anything else out of the ordinary on your body please let me know prior to our appointment for further discussion. If you arrive on the day without letting me know you have a health concern, or it is obvious to me that there is a health issue, I may refuse or change the service given, with no refunds given.
If you have any covid/cold/flu like symptoms in the lead up to our time together please let me know immediately as we will need to reschedule.

I feel a strong connection with you - Can we be romantically or sexually involved?
No we can not!
It’s not uncommon to have feelings of safety, connection and intimacy with me in the space I offer. This is a wonderful element of the work/play I do and clients often comment that it is an essential part of their experience in sessions with me. Where there is safety, so to a space for vulnerability which opens a door for healing and growth.
I often have a deep sense of platonic caring and love for the folks I work with. That said ……this is my work and professional integrity for care and safety requires me to hold a code of ethics and practice.
My code of ethics and practice does not allow personal romantic or sexual entanglement with sexological session clients for a period of 12 months after your last paid contact session. And for all other session types a minimum of 3 months from your last paid contact session is required.

(Clinic based and Educational sessions)
1) My primary focus is to have a space free from harm to myself or others.
2) I always stay clothed during a session (the exception is in group/couples educational workshops demonstrating for educational purposes, this may include demonstrating speculum insertion, massage techniques, dynamic touch, couples touch any and all demonstrations would be with my body or a volunteer body only, full consent in these cases is always affirmed and outlined in the educational summation prior to group commencement).
3) Touch is always one way - Practitioner to client or, Practitioner to model, or practitioner to self , or practitioner to practitioner.
4) I always wear gloves for genital touch.
5) Every session is for the client and learning focused - each session must have a learning/educational objective and contract.
6) No romantic or sexual relationships for 12months post the last paid sexological session. If transference occurs I am obliged to refer you to another practitioner.

My primary focus is to have a space free from harm to myself or others.
Touch is always one way - Practitioner to client. With the exception of curated sessions for singles/couples/groups, in which case values/boundaries/consent are discussed and adhered to. **Ref etiquette.
If any transference occurs I am obliged to refer you to an appropriate practitioner.

How do I decide what service I want to try?
Great question? Triage of services is important and have 2 categories -
Somatic Sexological Bodywork (Education based)
All other services
To stay in alignment with code of ethics and practice SSB clients cannot cross over to sensual or erotic services unless 12months have passed since their last paid appointment. This is also why a zoom call is required for all new clients to ensure your triage to services is correct.
I want to book for extended sessions and/or companionship services, is this possible?
Absolutely, it would be my privilege to curate longer sessions if you are wanting in-house extended booking. Outcalls, overnights, travel companion, companionship services, party bookings - demonstrations, festivals and educational workshops are by request and approval, fees and charges for travel and other expenses may apply. I am available to travel to any state in Australia or Internationally to the expense of the client and agreement of costs and payments in advance.
How do I pay you?
All payments are made through the website when you book your appointment.
I am able to provide receipts when requested and all electronic payments display as sovereign state holistic services.
I want to pay you more for the service you gave me, how do I do this?
