Welcome!

Hello! Thanks for checking in.  I am open on limited days and hours. See my availability and text me to schedule.

Here are the things you need to be aware of before you schedule an appointment:

COVID 19 ERA PROTOCOLS FOR OPTIMIZING SAFETY AND HEALTH

Under the current conditions, everyone must take all possible precautions to stay healthy and to protect the health of others.  In order to resume treating patients, I must take into consideration my own health as well as the health of everyone else who comes into my office.   I need each person who comes for treatment to enter into an agreement with me and commit to following these protocols.  Even with following best practices, I cannot guarantee 100% safety; there is risk—albeit low—in coming for treatment. These protocols may change in the future.

DO NOT COME IF YOU HAVE OR HAVE HAD WITHIN THE PAST 72 HOURS ANY OF THE FOLLOWING:

·Temperature of 100 degrees or more, or 2 degrees above your normal

o   Your temperature should be normal, without taking any medications to lower it, for 72 hours prior to your appointment.

·New cough

·Sore throat

·Unusual fatigue

·Muscle ache all over

·Chills or shaking due to chills

·Vomiting or Diarrhea

·Loss of sense of smell or taste

·New or unusual headache

·Shortness of breath or difficulty breathing

·Chest pain

IF YOU HAVE ANY OF THESE OR OTHER UNUSUAL SYMPTOMS, CONTACT YOUR PRIMARY HEALTH CARE PROVIDER.

If you have been exposed to someone with COVID-19 or are experiencing any of these symptoms, you must be in quarantine for 14 days and cancel any appointments, including those with your massage therapist. There will be no penalties for last minute cancelations due to health issues.

Also, please notify me if you begin to experience symptoms any time in the 14 days following treatment.

If you have any questions, please contact me by phone to discuss your specific situation.

COMING TO MY OFFICE:

We need to adapt our patterns to this new normal. Appointments will end on time to allow for sufficient time between patients to disinfect and prevent contact between patients. Please read the following carefully. If you anticipate any problems with adhering to them, please do not schedule at this time.

EXPECTATIONS OF YOU:

·Take your temperature the day of your appointment. (or I can take it for you)

·Please put on newly cleaned clothes on the day of your appointment.  Clothes can be placed on the chair or in the bin nearby.  Please don’t use the wall hooks.

·Do not meet with people outside of your family prior to your appointment.

·You MUST wear a mask.  Please bring an appropriate fitting, effective, CLEAN mask.  Please put it on while in your car before you come in.  I may instruct you in adjusting the fit.

·I can take cash or credit card payments. If using a check, please fill it out prior to arrival.

WHAT I WILL DO:

·I will wear a clean surgical mask. While working near your head, I will also wear a face shield.

·I will wear clean pants and shirt or other changeable covering so that you will not be touching clothing that has touched other patients.

·I will wash my hands before and after treatment as well as after handling any laundry or other items that have come into contact with anyone else.

·I will disinfect all surfaces that have been touched, such as door knobs, chair, light switch & table/face cradle.

·My room now includes a fan with a HEPA filter to help clean and circulate the air.

HERE’S HOW IT WILL GO:            

·Please arrive on time.  Text me when you arrive, and I will respond to let you know when to come in.  Put on your mask.

·Sanitize your hands at the door and proceed to the treatment room.

·After the treatment, please open the treatment room door after getting dressed, and I will come back in to complete payment and rescheduling.

·Leave your mask on until you are in your car or home where you can clean your hands again.
