The Joy of Reopening
Sound Bodyworks
How are you doing? How is your body? What have you noticed about yourself recently? I know that I have missed working at my "calling" and look forward to starting up again.
On our end, once the governor gave Massage Therapists the okay to work and the state sent out the standard health protocols, my officemates and I got together via phone to talk about what we needed to do to make our office safe for everyone.
Due to the intimate office setting we usually enjoy, we are only allowing one Therapist to work per day. Each week, my work days are Monday and Thursday from 11 am to 5pm. In addition, we are minimizing the time spent inside by multiple clients each day. What this means to you is that homey feeling waiting room is now just a pass through. If you get a ride from someone or there are two of you, the person not being worked on can wait in the car or outside.
Like all heathcare providers, we will be checking your temperature and asking about any COVID-19 symptoms or exposure to confirmed cases. If you have been exposed to a known case of COVID-19, please make your appointment for at least 14 days AFTER your exposure to ensure all of our health. Along those same lines, if you wake up the morning of your appointment and you have any of the symptoms, please contact me immediately to cancel your appointment - no cancellation charge.
Since I will be disinfecting between clients, please wait in your car and call or text me once you are here. Once the office has been prepared for your appointment time, I will unlock the door and meet you for your temperature check. Masks will be worn by both of us for the entire appointment. Additionally, all therapists are wearing masks whenever we are in the building.
As you come inside, please take off your shoes and place them by the dryer and wash your hands with soap and water for a minimum of 20 seconds before we go back to my office for your session. If your session requires that you disrobe, a clothing "tree" is there to minimize clients belongings/clothing being placed on the cloth-covered chair and will be sprayed with disinfectant between sessions. To do your part, please bring in minimal belongings.
I am using a HEPA Air Purifier and when possible temperature-wise, working with the windows open allowing airflow to create a safer space for my clients.
After each client, the sheet and face cradle cover get put into a closed container (if not directly into the washing machine) and everything is wiped down and disinfected, especially in the bathroom if it is used.
In addition to my regular in-person services, I am excited to offer 30 minute personalized video coaching for stretching and mobility work. Video sessions were one of the few things I could do during the COVID 19 shut down after getting a crash course in Zoom and other video chat apps. If it suits your needs, that is now available to schedule online under the Wellness heading.
The state is encouraging contactless payment. I am set up on Venmo (-Clark-29) which is preferred, but I will still take all other methods of payment (Prepayment via my booking system, Credit Card, check, and if necessary, cash).
If you are hesitant or unsure about whether you are ready to come in for an appointment, give me a call or send an email with your concerns. Having recently been immuno-compromised due to chemotherapy, I take ALL concerns seriously. With some discussion, we can figure out what is right for you.
I am excited to get back to work and see you,
covered face to covered face!
