Covid19 Update information

My studio has reopened. This opening will be slow to allow me to spend more time on the enhanced cleaning and sanitizing procedures so I can guarantee the studio is as safe as possible. If you can't get a booking right away, it may be due to my allowing extra time between clients for sterilizing the workspace. Look for the next available date.

Because there are still so many unanswered questions about the lifespan and continued level of protection provided by the vaccines over time--questions that can only be answered by the passage of time-- I am going to continue to wear protective gloves and a mask while working, and I am going to require that my clients continue to wear their mask when face-up on the table. All of the UV-C sterilization, HEPA air cleansing, and hospital-grade cleaning that goes on behind the scenes will continue as well.
 

I know that this is not the "deliverance" we have been waiting for and I hope you understand that my decision is based on caution and concern for those who trust me with their health.

I promise that as the scene continues to change and more data is gathered and analyzed, I will keep you informed.

I ask that you wear your face mask when you are not facedown on the table. This will minimize our breathing each other's exhalations.  And, just so there are no surprises when you turn over, I'll warn you that I will be working in gloves, a mask, a body apron, and a protective face shield for the safety of both of us.  

Drawing from best practices advocated by the two leading professional organizations in the massage field, the American Massage Therapy Association and the Associated Bodywork & Massage Professionals as well as a variety of practitioners, educators and medical information resources, I have put together the following list of shared commitments to wellbeing.

The first listing is what you, the client, agree to. The second listing is my own commitment to you.

In the unfortunate event that you have tested positive for the virus causing Covid19, I will need for you to show proof that you have had a second test that returned negative after your recovery and quarantine period.  I regret the inconvenience, but the safety of all people to enter my studio is paramount.
