Terms
Of Service.
These are the house rules for using this site and booking sessions at Chelsea Touch. By contacting us, booking, or walking in, you're agreeing to them. They're written plainly so there's nothing to misread.
N°01
About The Studio
Chelsea Touch is a professional massage and bodywork studio at 140 W 23rd Street in Chelsea, New York City. We offer therapeutic massage, sensual relaxation massage, body rub, and dedicated M4M sessions. Sessions are performed by trained, licensed therapists in a private, appointment-only setting.
N°02
Who Can Book
Therapeutic sessions (Swedish, deep tissue, sports, hot stone) are open to clients aged 18 and older. Sensual, body rub, and M4M sessions are restricted to clients aged 21 and older. We may ask for valid government photo ID at check-in to confirm your age, and we will decline to proceed without it for age-restricted sessions.
You must be sober and able to give clear, informed consent throughout the session. We reserve the right to refuse or end a session for anyone who appears intoxicated or unable to consent meaningfully — full refund, no argument.
N°03
What Sessions Are (And Aren't)
Every session at Chelsea Touch — therapeutic, sensual, or M4M — is a professional, non-sexual massage performed by trained therapists. Sensual and M4M sessions are framed around presence, sensory experience, and physical comfort. They are not, and never have been, an offer of sexual services.
Solicitation of sexual services, escort work, or any illegal activity is strictly prohibited at the studio. Anyone who attempts it will be asked to leave immediately, without a refund, and will not be welcome to book again.
N°04
Booking & Payment
Sessions are by appointment. You can book by calling or texting (212) 555-0190, by emailing hello@chelseatouch.com, or through the request form on this site. We confirm requests by phone or email — typically within two hours during business hours.
We do not require a credit card to hold a booking. Payment is due at the end of your session. We accept cash, major credit cards, Apple Pay, and Venmo. Quoted prices are for the session only — gratuity is at your discretion.
N°05
Cancellation & No-Show Policy
Plans change — we know. Please give us at least four hours' notice if you need to cancel or reschedule, so we can offer the slot to someone else.
Repeated no-shows or last-minute cancellations may result in being asked to prepay future bookings, or in being unable to book again. We will always tell you directly if that's the case rather than ghost you.
N°06
Conduct In The Studio
Show up clean and on time. Be respectful with our therapists and front-of-house team — they're professionals doing skilled work. Communicate openly about pressure, focus areas, and anything that's not working for you during a session. Consent is ongoing; you can stop or adjust any session at any time.
We don't tolerate aggression, harassment, racist or otherwise hateful behavior, or any conduct that crosses clearly stated boundaries. Sessions can and will be ended immediately if those lines are crossed, and the offender will not be welcome back.
N°07
Health & Safety
Massage is generally safe for healthy adults but is not a substitute for medical care. If you have a medical condition, recent injury, are pregnant, or are taking medication that could affect a session, tell us when you book and again at check-in. We may ask you to consult your doctor before booking certain modalities.
Please don't come in with a fever, an active infection, or an open wound on the area to be worked on — reschedule instead, no penalty. We follow standard sanitation practice in the studio: fresh linens for every session, cleaned tables, and trained staff.
N°08
Site & Intellectual Property
Everything on this site — the writing, the photographs, the design, the brand — belongs to Chelsea Touch. You're welcome to read it, share links to it, and quote short excerpts with attribution. You can't copy, repackage, or use it commercially without our written permission.
We don't allow photos or recording inside the studio, by clients or anyone else, out of respect for everyone's privacy.
N°09
Disclaimers & Liability
We provide this site and our services in good faith. The site itself is offered as-is, without warranties of any kind. We work hard to keep information accurate, but we make no guarantee that everything is current or error-free.
To the fullest extent allowed by law, Chelsea Touch is not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your use of this site or your decision to book a session. Nothing in these terms limits liability for anything that can't lawfully be limited (such as gross negligence or willful misconduct).
N°10
Governing Law
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of New York. Any disputes that aren't resolved between us directly will be heard in the state or federal courts located in New York County.
N°11
Changes To These Terms
We may update these terms as the studio evolves. The "Last updated" date at the top reflects the most recent revision. If a change is material — a new policy, a real shift in how we operate — we'll flag it here.
N°12
