A UK massage therapist, Maria, says she has started restricting who can receive treatments at her clinic. According to her account, she makes the decision after a relatively short period working in the field, describing concerns about the behaviour of some clients. She says she will be selective about which people she allows to book appointments, and that this has led to banning “most men” from the clinic.
The reports describe her decision as driven by her experiences of inappropriate or problematic conduct by certain clients, rather than any specific incident covered in detail. The BBC frames the decision as part of Maria’s response to what she considers unacceptable behaviour in her workplace. Yahoo News presents the same story, using Maria’s statements as the basis for the claim that most men are no longer permitted.
Both outlets treat the account as an explanation from Maria about how she is changing her clinic’s approach to bookings and client conduct, while not adding further confirmed details beyond her reasoning.
