WHAT TO EXPECT:
This pandemic experience is undeniably going to shape our history and alter the industry of bodywork for the foreseeable future. I appreciate your business and support while I navigate these executive orders in order to bring you the safest and most ethical sessions.
If you are at risk, I respectfully ask you to stay home and not book.
*Please be honest about your contaminations levels! If you are NOT taking standard precautions to limit your exposure to COVID-19, I ask that you not come in at this time. I am now in close proximity to a High Risk family member.
The following precautions are mandatory for all clients:
- For each appointment, I will have an online COVID- 19 Release waiver that must be completed before your appointment. You will also be asked to fill out our online intake form to update our system. I need accurate and updated contact forms in case we need to get ahold of you.
- The new strains are breeching vaccinated clients, so, this is still in effect.
- If you have any symptoms please stay home. If you have symptoms at ANY time in the two week period leading up to your appointment, you will need to reschedule. You may not reschedule until you have been symptom free for at least two weeks.
- Do not come in if you have a temperature of 100 or higher. We realize with the heat, temperatures have been different upon arrival to the office. Temperature checks may resume if we see another spike.
- Upon arrival, you will be asked to sanitize your hands.
- When you arrive to your appointment, please call or text and wait outside until prompted to come inside. This limits people in our waiting area and allows us to navigate social distancing more effectively.
- MASKS: If you are vaccinated, masks are optional. If you are not vaccinated, please wear a mask. I. do have masks available upon request.
- NO face or intra-oral massage will be provided at this time.
- GLOVES: Please do not bring them into the office.
- Do not bring excessive personal items such as purses, bags, backpacks, etc. into the office without prior approval for emergencies only. Please leave it in your vehicle or at home.
- Please touch as little as possible in the office.
- You may not bring anyone to your appointment. If you need assistance getting to your appointment or into the building please call prior to your appointment to notify me.
AFTER YOUR APPOINTMENT:
- If you are paying in CASH, please bring exact change.
- You can also pay remotely through the new Vagaro booking software, Venmo, or Cash App. Cards are now kept on file and will be charged through our touch free Covid program.
How else is the studio changing to ensure sanitation?!
- Everything will be wiped down with CDC recommended cleaning agents in between clients and deep cleaning will happen daily.
- Regulation grade air filtering system will be in operation.
- I will be wearing all required PPE per regulation standards as they change.
*This is all in addition to our standard universal precautionary protocols.
Until we have more information, and we see how the reopening of our state effects public health, I truly appreciate your understanding and cooperation. No matter what our personal beliefs are, these are guidelines and recommendations that are meant to keep us all safe until we know more. Thank you in advance for understanding that these guidelines are non-negotiable and are necessary for me to comply with the ethical standards of my profession.
