Disease Prevention Policies

---

2/27/22:   MASK UPDATE:  It is with great pleasure that I invite most clients to unmask in my office!  I'm a bit of a late adaptor, so I won't be changing much on my side yet. I will be continueing to mask for the time being, but when the time comes will always mask upon request. You can still expect my tools to be cleaned and sanitized after each session. The air purifier will still be on. As always sheets will be fresh. A shared blanket will be available upon request.  I ask that you continue to delay scheduling if you feel unwell or contagious with any infectious disease. I ask that you still mask if you have chronic or lingering respiratory symptoms or if you have been in a higher risk envionment recently.

Disease Prevention Protocols (Updated 2/27/22)

Due to the close, indoor contact involved in massage, we continue to be vigilant in our infectious disease prevention protocols.   We ask that you review our expectations and preventive protocols below.  

PLEASE DON'T SCHEDULE at this time:

• If you coulde be contageous with any easily transmissible disease. .

PLEASE RESUME MASKING IF:

• You  are experiencing lingering or chronic respiratory symptoms.
• You hae been in a high risk area recently.
• The Ronaoke River Valley becomes a high risk area.  

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 and low risk client.
• Sign an Jan 2022 Updated COVID-19 Agreement and risk waiver attesting to our acknowledgement of the pandemic and our mutual agreement of these terms.
• Bring a water bottle from home to have in your car after your session.
• Wear a mask at all times in the building and during your entire session unless you have been granted a waiver for showing proof of a COVID-19 Booster.
• Wash your hands before you enter and after you leave the Service Room.
• Wrap up your session quickly so the therapist has time to clean the room.

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

12/29/21  OMICRON UPDATE:   Due to the contagiousness of the Omicron COVID-19 Variant among double vaccinated people, I ask that everyone please resume masking during your session unless you choose to show proof of a Booster/3rd dose.  I am now triple vaccinated and will continue to mask for all clients.  Please let me know if you need to make any adjustments to your scheduled appointments due to comfort, risk, exposure, or symptoms.  Thanks for your assistance in maintaining my office as a wellspace.
