COVID-19 Policies and Procedures (Phase 3)

---

Phase 3 started in VA on July 1st, 2020, however this does not lax any of the protocols in place for personal services.  Given the close contact involved in Bodywork, I expect masks and vigilance to be the new normal for awhile.  I ask that you continue to help me created a safe work and well space for myself and for each other.  

If your choices, beliefs, or lifestyle don't enable you to follow State and CDC guidelines, such as wearing a mask inside public spaces, I ask that you please continue to delay your appointments until you are able to do so for at least 14 days. 

PHASE 3 PROTOCOLS:  

PLEASE DON'T SCHEDULE at this time:

• If you are not able to follow State and CDC guidelines concerning social distancing or do not wear a mask inside public spaces. 
• If you consider yourself or someone you live with high risk or vulnerable.

PLEASE DELAY YOUR APPOINTMENT AT LEAST 14 DAYS after:

• Attending a Large Social Gathering or Event where you or others aren't following State and CDC recommendations.
• Visiting a hot spot or traveling through an airport.
• Visiting or working in a highly exposed environment
• If you have had a Fever, Respiratory Symptoms, COVID-19 Symptoms.

PLEASE CANCEL!  Notify your therapist as soon as possible if you can’t/shouldn’t keep your scheduled appointment.   As always, Late Cancellation Fees will be waived if you develop last minute symptoms.  “No Shows” will be billed the full price of the session.   Please Call/Text 540-632-2051 or email if you need to cancel. 

At your appointment, to help reduce Community Transmission please,

• Be a Healthy, Socially Distant and Low Risk Client.
• Sign a COVID-19 Agreement and risk waiver attesting to our mutual agreement of these terms.
• Bring a water bottle from home to have in your car after your session.
• Wait in your car until your session time.
• Leave non-essential items in your car.
• Wear a mask at all times in the building and during your entire session.
• Wash your hands before you enter and after you leave the Service Room.
• Utilize Touchless check-out, such as Apple or Google Pay if you can.   I’ll be turning off the signature feature for credit cards.  Before check-out, let your therapist know if you’d like to leave a tip.  If you don’t automatically get an email receipt, just let us know and we can provide one.
• Wrap up your session quickly so the therapist has time to clean the room.

Here’s what you can likely expect from ME during Phase Three of COVID-19 Recovery.

• Therapists will follow CDC and "Forward Virginia" preventative recommendations outside the office, including social distancing and wearing a mask in public spaces.
• Therapists will monitor themselves for Fever and symptoms.
• Therapists will cancel appointments if they become sick, exposed or symptomatic.
• Therapists will wear masks during sessions.
• Therapists will wash hands before/after each session and use hand sanitizer as needed.
• Therapists will provide clean sheets for each session.
• Porous and Fabric Surfaces in the Room will be minimized, as well as most decor.
• Blankets will NOT be provided. (Feel free to bring one from home.)  
• Sessions may include reduced time in a prone/face-down position.
• Water will not be served.
• Room is equipt with an H13 True HEPA Air Purifier rated CADR 250
• The Massage Table and frequent touchables will be wipes with disinfectant grade a bleach solution after each client. 
• Session will wrap up sessions within the appointment time to leave ample time for cleaning.

Thanks so much for your continued support in maintaining my wellspace.
