I was in the business nearly 6 months without a single review on TER and I didn't say "Oh excuse me honey because I don't have a REVIEW I'm not going to ask for references."

She can ask all she wants. You can also choose not to provide them and provide other information for screening but of course it's fair.

She also needs to feel safe and screen.  I would never see anybody without screening, reviews or no reviews....and it's your choice to provide them or not.  Everyone has to start out somewhere....

I am going to give out contact info to someone I do not know about someone I do know that might be something that they are not.  meaning would you want me to use you as a reference for a LE sting by accident?
