Workshop Participation & Safety Agreement
Lymphatic Drainage, Facial Massage & Bojin Techniques
By participating in this session, you are joining a collaborative environment focused on education, mindfulness, and personal growth. Our workshops explore the body’s natural vitality through self-care rituals and ancient wellness wisdom.
1. Educational Intent & Medical Disclaimer
The techniques shared here are for personal enrichment and educational use only. While our instructors draw from extensive study and experience, they do not provide medical diagnoses, physical therapy, or clinical treatments.
Self-Care Only: These practices are intended for self-application and should not replace professional medical advice.
Personal Responsibility: If you have an existing medical condition or are currently undergoing treatment, please consult a healthcare professional before trying these methods.
2. Cosmetic & Tool Safety (Specific Contraindications)
Recent Procedures: If you have received Botox, dermal fillers, facial threading, chemical peels, or laser treatments within the last 4 weeks, or have undergone recent facial surgery, you must consult your physician before participating in Bojin or deep tissue facial massage.
Tool Integrity: Participants are responsible for inspecting their own tools (e.g., Bojin sticks, Gua Sha boards) for any chips, cracks, or sharp edges before use. Shavat Wellness is not liable for skin abrasions caused by damaged or improperly maintained personal tools.
3. Natural Ingredients & Allergic Sensitivities
We utilize botanical extracts, essential oils, nut-based butters (such as almond and shea), and natural clays.
Skin Safety: Even high-quality natural products can trigger reactions. We strongly recommend a patch test before full application.
Allergy Notification: Please inform your facilitator of any known allergies or skin sensitivities before the session starts.
Environment: While we strive for a safe space, we cannot guarantee an entirely allergen-free setting.
4. Respecting Potent Botanicals
Essential oils are powerful plant concentrates. To ensure safety:
Dilution: Please strictly follow the dilution ratios provided in our recipes to prevent skin irritation.
Pregnancy & Health: If you are pregnant, nursing, or taking regular medication, seek medical clearance before applying essential oils topically.
5. Facial Massage & Bojin Safety
Our facial massage and Bojin (meridian tool) sessions are designed to boost circulation and ease tension.
Non-Professional: These are shared as self-care rituals, not professional certifications.
Listen to Your Body: If you feel pain, bruising, or dizziness, stop immediately and alert your instructor.
Contraindications: Avoid using tools or massage over broken skin, active inflammation, or blood clotting disorders.
6. Lymphatic Drainage Guidance
We teach gentle, rhythmic movements to support the body’s natural detox pathways.
Not Clinical Therapy: This is not a substitute for Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) performed by a licensed therapist.
Post-Session Effects: Mild redness, increased urination, or temporary fatigue are normal signs of the body's natural detoxification. Persistent discomfort should be addressed with a medical professional.
