Yes, you can request a female therapist
It is simple. When you book online, note that you would like a female therapist. Or call or text us at (313) 429-9079 and tell us. That is it. You do not need to explain why.
Thrive has several women on the care team. So this is not a special favor or a hard ask. It is a normal part of how we schedule, and we are glad to do it.
You can make this request for the services where it matters most to many women: massage therapy, cupping, wet cupping (Hijama), and physical therapy.
Why this matters to so many families here
Dearborn is a close community with a lot of different backgrounds. For many women, modesty is part of daily life. For others, it is a matter of religious practice. For some, it is just personal comfort, and that is reason enough.
We respect all of it. We do not assume anything about you based on where you are from or what you wear. We simply ask what you prefer and do our best to honor it.
When you are comfortable, you relax. And when you relax, hands on work tends to feel better. That is not a small thing.
Who often asks for this
Women of all ages make this request. A few examples:
- A mother who finally has an hour for herself and wants to fully relax during her massage
- A woman getting Hijama who prefers another woman to handle her care
- A new physical therapy patient recovering from an injury who wants to feel at ease during exercises and hands on treatment
- An older woman whose daughter is booking for her and wants her to feel comfortable
- Anyone who simply feels better with a woman therapist, no explanation needed
What your visit is like
Your visit starts with a conversation. Your therapist asks about your health history, what is bothering you, and what you hope to get out of the session. It is also a good time to share any preferences about draping, clothing, or which areas you would rather not have worked on.
Your privacy is taken seriously. Hijama is done in a private room with sterile single use supplies, a health history conversation first, and aftercare guidance before you go home. For every service, you can ask questions, change your mind, or ask your therapist to stop at any time.
For physical therapy, your therapist will look at how you move and talk with you about a plan. Your provider will tell you if a service is right for you.
Investment and how to book
There is no extra charge to request a female therapist. You pay the same investment as the service you book. You can see the details on each service page, or check our insurance page if you are coming in for physical therapy. We accept all major insurance plans, and we verify your benefits for you before your first visit.
Tap the Book button and mention your preference, or call or text (313) 429-9079. If you are booking for your mother, sister, or wife, just let us know and we will take care of it. We are at 835 Mason St, Suite A-245, 2nd Floor, Dearborn, MI 48124.
