You Are Not Alone

A Safe Space to Share and Be Heard

Every massage therapist deserves to feel safe at work. If you’ve experienced an uncomfortable, unsafe, or traumatic situation—whether in a professional setting, a mobile appointment, at massage school, or while working from home please know that you are not alone.

Your Experience is Valid

You should be proud of yourself. Surviving takes more strength than most people realize. No matter what happened or how you responded, your experience is valid, and you did what you had to do to get through it.

Many survivors struggle with whether or not to report their experiences. If you haven’t reported, please know that it is not your fault. Delayed reporting is a well-documented psychological response to trauma—it does not make your story any less true or important. (Read more about Delayed Reporting and Trauma.)

No matter how long it has been, you still have the right to report. Speaking up isn’t just about personal vindication—it can help protect the next potential victim. You deserve justice, and your voice matters.

Your Story Can Help Protect Others

The more awareness we bring to the reality of massage therapists being assaulted by clients, the safer we will all be. By sharing your story, you are helping to shine a light on this issue, support fellow therapists, and push for real change in our industry.

We strongly encourage you to allow us to share your experience. You can choose to remain anonymous or provide your first name and last initial.

And please remember: It does not matter if you were not a licensed provider at the time of the assault. Your experience matters. YOU matter.
