Surrey massage therapist banned from treating female patients
Gudbjartur "Bodhi" Haraldsson, 50, was arrested and charged with one count of sexual assault.
A massage therapist in Surrey has been banned from treating female patients while the profession's regulatory body investigates an allegation of sexual misconduct.
The College of Massage Therapists of B.C. announced the limits it has imposed on Gudbjartur (Bodhi) Haraldssonโs practice this week in order to "protect the public."
In addition to a prohibition on treating female patients, Haraldsson is required to post a notice in both the waiting room and treatment room of any clinic where he is practising informing patients of the ban. He is also prohibited from providing prospective patients the option to book his services online.
The college's Inquiry Committee imposed the conditions on Haraldsson after a complaint from a female patient on Dec. 14 of 2022.
