POLICIES

Per the recommendation of the California Massage Therapy Council, ABMP, the Federation of State Massage Therapy Boards, CDC, and WHO I have updated aspects of my private practice to help reduce the spread of Covid 19. 

Appointment Checklist

• NO flu, cold, or covid-19 symptoms... fever, runny nose, congestion, cough, sore throat, difficulty breathing, loss of taste or smell, etc.
• If you've had contact with a positive Covid 19 case or have had Covid 19 please wait the recommended duration per CDC or show a negative test prior to your scheduled appointment.
• TRAVEL: if you have travelled within 10 days of your appointment please wear a mask.
• Events: if you have been to an event with large crowds such as a wedding, concert, reunion, etc., within 10 days of your appointment please wear a mask.
• Completed a new intake form as of March 2021
• Mask: Please arrive to your appointment with a mask. You may take your mask off while laying face down. I will be wearing a mask during the appointment. Masking rules will follow Sacramento County guidance and CDC recommendations. 

Practitioners guidelines:

In the event I come in contact with someone who’s tested positive for Covid-19 I will personally get tested for the safety of others. If I at anytime test positive for Covid-19 I will reschedule all appointments until I receive a negative test. I will deep clean and thouroughly sanitize my office space should it be exposed to anyone who has tested positive for Covid-19.  As always I will wash my hands before and after every appointment. 

Appointments:

For flexible appointment times it is recommended to book 3-4 weeks in advance. Late afternoon and  evening appointments book the fastest and may need to be scheduled with more notice. Due to the increased flexibility of appointment cancellation without penalty there may be unexpected last minute openings. If you would like to be notified of last minute openings please contact me to be placed on the cancellation list. 

Cancellation Policy:

At this time cancellation fees will be waved for consideration of the health and safety of others. If you experience any of the following please contact me to reschedule your appointment: Symptoms such as a fever over 100F, cough, runny nose, sore throat, difficulty breathing, loss of taste or smell, any Covid-19 or flu like symptoms, contact with someone in the past 14 days that has been diagnosed with Covid-19, etc. No shows or forgetting appointments may be subject to the full fee of the scheduled appointment.

Past cancellation policy: I request 48 hour or more notice for the cancellation of any booked appointment. There will be a 50% charge of the appointment fee for appointments cancelled 24 hours in advance. Last minute cancellations less than 24 hours or no shows will be charged the full fee of the appointment. If you need to cancel the appointment at the last minute and are able to find someone to take you place the cancellation fee will be waived. 

Client Arrival & Intake:

All clients will be required to fill out a new intake form which has added details regarding Covid-19. This will ensure that everyone will enter my office symptom free and provides the ability to aid contact tracing should anyone receive a positive Covid-19 test. The form will be emailed to you to fill out prior to your appointment. If you are not able to fill it out ahead of time please arrive 20 minutes early to do so. 

Intake Form

Prenatal Intake Form

Masking protocol will follow CDC guidelines. Per CDC guidance those who are fully vaccinated may remove their mask during the session. Masks continue to be required for those who are not fully vaccinated. Regardless of vaccination status you may remove your mask while laying face down during the massage for your comfort.  Masks are required/recommended for the additional safety and precautions for all those entering my office space and I greatly appreciate your consideration of others. If you do not have a mask I will provide one for you. 

Please arrive early for your session so we can begin right on time. I will be spacing appointments to allow for more cleaning time in between sessions. With the extra cleaning steps needed in between appointments it will be important to start each appointment at the scheduled time. 

Office Readiness & Cleaning Protocol:

Should you arrive early and want to access the waiting area it has been adjusted to accommodate for social distancing. Water is provided in the waiting area with cups however if you would like to bring your own cup or canteen you may do so. 

Hand sanitizer and tissues will be readily available in my office. Hooks and hangers are also available if you would prefer to hang your clothing. 

Linens: All towels, sheets, face cradle covers, etc. are changed and clean for each client. All dirty linens are kept in a closed bag and washed daily. 

Sanitizing: Prior to each appointment the following will be freshly sanitized: All common touched surfaces inside my office including door handles, counter tops, pens, and face cradle. All common touched surfaces in the building including the bathroom door and handles, toilet, sink, and front door handles. All trash will be removed after each session. At the end of each day I will vacuum my office with a vacuum containing a HEPA filter. 

Post Session Protocol:

Payment: Currently for your convenience I accept no contact payment through Cash, Check, Venmo, Paypal, and credit. 

Both the client and practitioner agree to notify each other in the event that either one develops any illness or Covid-19 like symptoms.

As always if your massage was helpful I would love to hear about it!
