And WE’RE BACK! 🙌🏼🎉Massage Therapy in Iowa has been reopened to the public, all 99 counties! Thank you, Governor Kim Reynolds, for wise leading and making thoughtful decisions- we are ready to get back to work! And our customers are more than ready to be back!! ❤️ In my humble little practice of Chariton, here is what you need to know:
1) Because I work alone, and my office is so small, you will probably observe that not all that much will change 🙂 My waiting area is still outside of my office (social distancing), I will still wash my hands constantly (enhanced hygiene practices), and I will still sanitize surfaces and change linens between all my clients. These are things I already have been practicing for sanitary and safety reasons to ensure your health and your comfort are met with the highest standards.
2) You will notice one thing; I am electing NOT to wear a face mask. As you who are my customers already know, I give deep tissue therapies, and I SWEAT for the cause! 😅 Therefore, wearing a mask will make things quite uncomfortable for my personal work environment, and I can readily assure you- I will exercise tight precaution on my own health the way I always have to protect you in that if I am not feeling well, I will not come to work. I humbly ask you continue to do the same to protect me and others. If it makes you uncomfortable that I am choosing not to have a mask on, then please wait to schedule an appointment with me for a little later on🙂 In closing on the face mask matter, I also will not require you to wear one to come see me. The choice to wear or not wear a face mask of course remains entirely your decision, and I respect your decision either way.
3) Because I have been closed down for 8 weeks, unfortunately I am going to have to reduce my working hours in the beginning in order to regain my lost stamina😢 I have been exercising and trying my best to stay in shape the past 8 weeks, but it will be a little bit before I can go back to full time hours. That said, my hours will look a little different to begin with than what I normally have, and it may not accommodate your schedule to come back right away 😥 I apologize in advance if this is you! I am hopeful I will regain what I’ve lost quickly, and the altered hours won’t be in effect for long.
My temporary hours will change to Monday through Friday 830-12, or hopefully 3 clients a day. I will constantly be re-evaluating this schedule as I ease back into work, but for now that is my plan. I am going to call people that were on my schedule in the order from when I was first shut down, and work my way down that schedule.
I cannot thank you all enough for the many texts and calls of kind words of missing my practice, and your eagerness to come back and get your pain and stresses back under control.❤️❤️ I appreciate that more than you’ll ever know 🥰 See you soon!- It’s finally REAL!!😍
Be Healthy. Live Well.
