The Massage Therapist’s Creed
I commit my whole self; body, mind, heart and soul to facilitate the healing of those entrusted in my care.
I commit to my fellow human beings in a spirit of honesty, sincerity and goodwill.
I commit to the responsibility of my best effort always, despite ego, circumstance and the false desire of praise and reward.
I commit to respect and cherish the vulnerability of my patients.
To be responsible and accountable to all those who place their trust in me.
I commit to preserve the honour of my profession to bring my heart as well as my hands to the healing experience.
I will keep this promise as a person of integrity and as a healthcare professional.
And I will do everything in my power to facilitate health, healing and wholeness within myself, my fellows and my world.
