While many things have changed, one thing has remained the same: my commitment to your safety and health. By its very nature, massage requires skin-to-skin contact and you should be familiar with the fact that infection control has always been a top priority for my practice. As we navigate life with additional requirements and modify existing measures due to the coronavirus, please help me to support all of my clients by cooperating with some new requirements. My practice follows Practice Guidelines recommended by the Federation of State Massage Therapy Boards (FSMTB), along with infection control recommendations made by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA).

All protocols are subject to change due to evolving governmental mandates but are the most up-to-date according to current regulations. Please review all protocols so you know what to expect for your next appointment. I know it may seem overwhelming but these are necessary to protect my clients and myself. I sincerely look forward to continuing my quality care for all clients and commit to keeping you safe, relaxed, and comfortable during your session.

Thank you so much for your cooperation and understanding.

​

• The massage table, bolster, head rest, and entire room will be sanitized and cleaned in between every session. 

​

• All payment transactions, rescheduling, and follow-up discussions will be done inside our massage room to avoid reception area traffic.​

​​

• Should I have any illness symptoms I will contact you immediately to cancel and reschedule once I am healthy to work again.

What To Expect For Your Next Massage

​​

• Upon booking, a confirmation email will be sent notifying you of the latest safety procedures. Please take the time to read these so you are aware of my policies. These protocols are MANDATORY FOR ALL CLIENTELE WHETHER YOU ARE FULLY VACCINATED OR NOT.

​​

• 36-hours before your session you will receive an email reminder with my MANDATORY HEALTH SCREENING QUESTIONNAIRE. You must respond to this email with confirmation of receipt and your questionnaire answers. Failure to confirm and pass the questionnaire may cancel or reschedule your appointment unless you contact me. Please read all questions carefully and answer to the best of your abilities. 

 

• It is highly recommended that clientele have a written medical referral for massage therapy. This can be from your general practitioner, chiropractor, etc. Any questions please contact me. ​

​​

• If you travel by plane within 24 hours of your appointment, you may be required to wear a mask during your entire session. 

​

• If you are exposed to someone who tested positive for COVID you must wait at least 5 days from exposure if vaccinated or 7 days if unvaccinated and be without any symptoms before you can come in.

 

• If you or anyone in your household is sick the day of your session please notify me immediately and I will determine whether we can proceed or need to reschedule.

​

• Masks will be available during the entire session. If I determine it's mandatory you wear one, I will give you one. If you refuse to wear a mask I kindly request you wait to book until I change protocols or you decide you're willing to wear one.​​​​

​​

• Clients are recommended to wash their hands with soap and water before and after their session. Hand sanitizer will be available at all times but hand washing is recommended upon first entering and before leaving. 

​​

• Sanitizing tubs and sprays with EPA-registered disinfectants will be near the sink but are for office use only. They are designed for disinfecting medical objects/surfaces and not for skin. Please do not use them on yourselves or your personal items.

​

• New clients will be required to sign an informed consent form recognizing the risks of close contact during massage. ​​

​

• All payment and rescheduling will be done in the room to reduce office traffic in the reception area.

​​

• Please notify me immediately if you or anyone in your household has tested positive for COVID within a week of your session.

​​

• If any of these protocols are not agreeable please understand and respect that I reserve the right to refuse services. ​

What To Expect For A House Call

​​

• Health questionnaires will pertain to the client receiving treatment and ALL those living in your home. If anyone has illness symptoms within your household we may need to reschedule.

 

• I will bring hand sanitizer, but please have a sink and soap available for proper hand washing before and after your session. 

​

• Weather permitting and if available, an outdoor setup in the shade is highly preferred. If you'd like, you can send me pics of your home/backyard beforehand to find the best setup.

 

• If an outdoor space isn't feasible or weather doesn't permit, please make sure your massage/exercise room is well ventilated with windows/doors open and an air purifier if available. 

​

• Please limit interactions with household members during your session. I understand this may not be achievable in some homes (especially with kids and pets!) but is highly preferred when possible.​

​​

• If the house call setup is not suitable for our safety please understand and respect that I reserve the right to deny services at that time and will reschedule to the office instead.
