We will be back in the office seeing clients in early June with a limited number of appointments. We will be able to expand our hours and availability further as we become more comfortable with new procedures and precautions. We can’t wait to see you! But before we do, please read the following list of Mandatory Requirements the State Medical Board has issued for us to safely reopen:

• We will require every client to update their online health information. After you’ve scheduled an appointment, you will receive an email with a link to update your intake and informed consent. We cannot provide treatment for any client without complete health information and current e-signature (5/1/20 or later).
• Your therapist will be performing her own health/symptom assessment and will be cleared to work each day. She will wear a mask for the duration of your visit.
• Please do NOT enter the office earlier than 5 minutes prior to your scheduled appointment time. This ensures adequate physical distancing for clients and allows us time to thoroughly disinfect surfaces between clients.
• We ask that you leave all personal belongings at home or in the car, with the exception of your car keys, phone, and method of payment. (If you are interested in convenient pre-payment options, please contact Julie.)
• You will receive a "Doorway Screening Assessment" when you arrive for EACH session. We will take your temperature and ask you a series of health-related questions. If you answer “yes” to any CDC-specified symptoms (including cough, difficulty breathing, and two of the following: fever, chills, muscle pain, headaches, sore throat, and new loss of taste or smell), you will be asked to reschedule your session.
• You will be required to wear a mask and we ask that you sanitize your hands at the front door. Sanitizer is also available in each room for use throughout your visit.
• Only clients will be permitted in the office, unless a caregiver is accompanying you or a child is accompanied by a parent.
• The Medical Board has issued a mandate of no hugging or handshaking. This will be hard for many of us, as we’ve missed seeing one another! But for now, we must keep all physical contact limited to what is necessary during your massage therapy session.
• You may have already discovered that talking while wearing a mask can be difficult (and breathing harder increases chances of virus transmission). We ask that you help us keep conversation focused on your health, symptoms, and the current treatment session.

**In order to protect those who may be especially vulnerable to COVID-19, we are advising clients in elevated at-risk categories to wait a little longer before returning to see us. This includes clients who are 65 years and older, and those with conditions such as heart disease, lung disease, diabetes, clotting disorders and suppressed immune systems.**
