I'm off as of this Friday until Jan 5th.

I'm looking forward to a quiet Christmas break with my household with lots of good food, PJs and board games!

A few of you have been asking for our holidays hours:
Closed Dec 24-Jan 3 and reopening on Jan 4, 2021.

Katie's last day is on Friday (Dec 18th). Tavia & Bergen are both working Monday-Wednesday next week (Dec 21-23).

Each of us will be taking a nice quiet holiday with our household bubbles and not responding to emails/voicemails until the new year after Dec 23rd. Thanks for your understanding!

Our wait-list is a mile long and Jan/Feb are nearly booked up solid. Feel free to reach out if you'd like to be added to the list or book something for the new year. ❤️☺️

Covid reminders & updates from Wild Coast Wellness.

Be kind, be calm, be safe. ❤️

Covid Update:

With numbers rising in Nanaimo, we're keeping a close eye and monitoring the situation carefully.

We feel confident in our protocols and are a well oiled machine (massage pun intended!😅). Lots of pre-screening, cleaning, hand-washing, mask wearing, staggering of appointments, and LAUNDRY!

Reminders:
**- Ensure your MANDATORY Covid Questionnaire is filled out by 6:00pm the night before your appointment (it is emailed out 48 hours ahead of time. Check your Junk folder if you don't see it).
- If your form is not filled out, the appointment will be cancelled.
- Please answer it honestly and promptly.

- Give us as much notice as possible if you or anyone in your household are sick (even mild!) and cancel your appointment.

-The CMTBC advises to not book anything less than 24 hours ahead of time. (This is why you haven't seen any last minute appointments posts because we are not able to book them).

- All cancellation fees due to illness are waived at this time.

Parking:
- Yes you can park in the driveway/carport. It is encouraged! 😁

We feel so fortunate that we have such an understanding/caring clientele that follow our policies so smoothly. ❤️

Clinic update from Wild Coast Wellness. Important info to have a look at!

Happy long weekend! Here are a few clinic updates for you to have a look at.

- Online bookings are now open! 🙌
- It’s a rolling 1 month schedule only at this time (too much uncertainty about the fall and we’d rather book accordingly, then cancelling a bunch of appointments.) Example: today is Aug 3 so Sept 3 is now open online to book.
- Add yourself to the cancellation list to get in sooner. To be honest, we haven’t had that many cancellations lately, but you never know!
- We are now accepting cash: we will both use hand sanitizer after handling any bills or coins. E-transfer is always an option as well. 💵
- Reminder that we will email you a mandatory COVID screening 2 days prior to your appointment, it will be marked as an “Intake Form”. It’s quick and should only take you 30 seconds to complete.
-** If the form is not completed by 6:00pm the night before your appointment, then it will be cancelled and offered to our waitlist.

Thank you all so much for wearing your stylish masks and abiding by our news protocols. We’re so happy to be back at work, doing what we love, helping people improve their wellness. 😷❤️

Wild Coast Wellness is in the "Best Massages" category for the Nanaimo News Bulletin Best of the City Awards 2020.

We'd love your vote!

Online bookings are reopening next week!

You're more than welcome to put your name on the cancellation list or email me to get in before the online bookings are enabled. :)

Online bookings are re-opening next week! Yay! :)

New changes:
- One month rolling appointment availability
- 2 appointments max per patient to keep it fair for everyone (please message us if you have a different request)
- All appointments are 60 minutes to ensure a staggered schedule with the other RMT/patient

In the meantime, if you're wanting to book in, head to our website and put yourself on our waitlist or email/DM to book in. katie@wildcoastwellness.com

Week 2 is half way done, and we're so happy to see some familiar faces and new faces (behind masks of course!).

In case you missed this update on the Wild Coast Wellness page!

We're planning to reopen for June 15th. Read the post for more clinic protocols and updates.

Another day, another Covid-19 update!

We're working hard behind the scenes to ensure we're ready to safely reopen. We are planning to be open for June 15th.

**If you're looking to be contacted when we are ready to book appointments, please head to our website, click Book Now and add yourself to our cancellation list for June and July with your preferred days/times & RMT.**

We will be contacting patients that had their appointment cancelled from March 17th onwards.

Our new clinic protocols & guidelines are nearly complete and will be on the website very soon.

It will look a little different around Wild Coast Wellness:
- Mandatory mask wearing (both RMT and patient) BYO clean mask or we will supply a cloth one😷
- RMTs will be wearing aprons and have other PPE on hand if necessary
- Patients must come unaccompanied (no kids, infants, or parents/caregivers) this means most minors will not be able to receive treatment at this time
- No tea, water, magazines or chocolates🍫🍬 (RIP candy bowl...you will be missed!)
- Staggered appointments to minimize contact
- Extra cleaning/sanitization procedures between every patient and LOTS of hand washing
- Covid-19 screening/phone call the day before & right before the appointment as well as a new consent form and waiver
- If there are any signs of illness (including mild ones), your appointment will be cancelled
- All appointments will be 60 minutes to ensure a staggered schedule
- High risk & immunocompromised patients should consider alternative treatments and postpone massage therapy at this time.

More to come, stay tuned! We can't wait to see you all again soon.🙂

A Covid-19 Update for you all!

I'm currently deep in the planning stages right now and working on our Wild Coast Wellness protocols so we can safely re-open.

Thank you for your patience thus far, we'll let you know as soon as we're feeling comfortable and ready to open. Most likely early-mid June. Stay tuned.

Covid-19 Update:

Nanaimo community! Thank you for all the messages and your excitement for us to get back to work. We feel the love and your love of massage therapy! 😊💆‍♀️

We received our protocols guidelines from our governing college (CMTBC) just yesterday evening.

We still have lots to do for planning, logistics and implementing protocols before we can safely open our doors.

We want to make sure we do everything we can to ensure the safety for our patients and our RMTs. At this point, we do not have a concrete start date but we will keep you all up to date as soon as we do. Most likely early June.

Thank you for your patience in this uncertain time. We are all navigating it for the first time and are carefully assessing each part. ❤️

04/27/2020

We're in this for a while to come! Hopefully we can be back to work in July.

"There must be a discussion of a plan that would allow therapists to return to treating their clients in a safe manner," says RMT Jeanie Bezdan.

I got more chocolate to make double the amount of bags! Tomorrow I'll turn into the Easter bunny and drop off 20 self care bags.

Happy Easter! 🐰🍫

The self care giveaway is now closed for nominations and the names have been drawn!

We had over 50 nominations between FB, IG & private messages. It's an uncertain time, and everyone could use a little pick me up! :)

I wish we could give our baggies to everyone who was nominated but I did get more chocolate to DOUBLE the amount of bags to deliver! 😁

I'll be delivering 20 bags (instead of 10) tomorrow!
