Hello everyone,
I hope your are all staying healthy and doing well. I so appreciate everyone being patient as I've been preparing for reopening under the new state and CDC safety guidelines. I'm excited to announce that I will officially be taking appointments the week of June 29th!
My new, temporary hours will be Monday- Friday 10-12. I'm easing back slowly, and only planning to take one person per day to have as little exposure between clients as possible. With the exception to family members in the same household.
If you are not feeling well before your appointment or have been in contact with anyone showing symptoms, please cancel your appointment ASAP.
Masks are now required for both massage therapist and client until further notice. This will be for any time we are within 6 feet of each other.
There will be a Covid-19 form you'll need to fill out for EACH visit. It is preferred that I email this to you beforehand so that you can just bring it in completed already the day of your massage.
I'll now be taking a quick forehead temperature when you arrive, and will take my own temperature each morning as well.
When you arrive for your massage, please stop in the bathroom to wash your hands with soap and water before entering the office. For the time being, I'm not allowed to serve water or tea. Please plan to bring your own water bottle or drink with you to your appointment.
I can still take cash or check, but if you prefer a contactless method of payment, I can accept Venmo, Zelle, or PayPal.
Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns. I have many of you on my wait list. I will begin going down that list in order, to get those scheduled today.

I look forward to seeing everyone soon!

I hope you are all doing well and staying healthy. There has been a lot of confusion as to when massage therapists are allowed to start working again. Though it seems they officially moved us to phase 3, there are many new restrictions and guidelines we will need to adjust to. The biggest, and possibly most frustrating one, is that I can only offer massages for 30 minutes or less until further notice. Masks (covering the mouth and nose) will be required for both massage therapist and client during massages and any time we're within 6 feet of one another. There will be additional health screening forms required before each session, and many other sanitation and preventative measures to follow. Many of the required items are on back order. I'm doing my very best to acquire everything needed to allow me to safely open as soon as possible. Please continue to remain patient as I navigate these new safety guidelines. I will keep everyone posted when I have a better idea of an official reopen date. I'm hoping before the end of June!
If you have any questions or want to get on the schedule, please feel free to reach out.

Looks like maybe when we get to phase 3 I'll be able to open up again. It's also looking like it will be required for me and you to wear masks during massages, and possibly other PPE. I'm curious, how do you feel about that?

Pritzker previewed a 5-phase plan "Restore Illinois" to reopen, but said "returning to normalcy doesn't exist" without vaccine, treatment.

Funny, but not funny. 😷

Due to the stay at home order extended through the month of May, I'll hopefully see you all back here by June 1st! Can't wait to be back!
Stay well everyone.

I'll be ready for you! My 3 year old and my dogs have been getting so many massages lately! 🤣 Can't wait to get back!

Hmmm... I think I'd go with house 2. The fresh air and being outside is keeping my spirits up. Though 3 would be great too, so I could better stay in shape. How about you?

What better time to give meditation a try?
