Back in June, our C.E.O and
owner David Weintraub made a statement on racial injustice, inequality, and
anti-racism in wellness. He outlined how the company hopes to be more vocal on

We’ve added an important note
about being anti-racist and anti-sexist to our mission statement. Generally
speaking, if you’re a human and are in pain, our goal has always been to help
you by providing massage therapy with long term solutions. In order to ensure
we deliver the best possible care as healthcare providers, it’s important that
we set biases to the side. We strive to both promote anti-racism in wellness
and diversity in our workplace and create a known safe space with intentional
anti-racist and anti-sexist policies. Read our full mission statement here.
Speaking of our anti-racist and
anti-harassment policies, we’ve added a page to our website that describes this
in detail. We want to make sure staff and clients alike know Bodyworks DW is a
space completely intolerant of ignorance. Click here to read the entire pledge.
If you look on our website and
click on our page titled Actions For Progressive
Social Change, you can see the list of organizations such as

donate to regularly.
