I am getting closer to reopening and am excited to see everyone again. There are going to be a lot of chances and new protocols as we ease back into reopening. Two very important new changes that you need to be aware of: both massage therapist AND client are required to wear a mask for the duration of the appointment and the massage therapist is REQUIRED to perform ALL massage sessions with gloves. To protect YOUR health, MY health, and the health of ALL of my clients, these rules will be strictly enforced. I will be sending out a letter to everyone in the coming week to let you know about the new protocols and regulations. You can also visit the state website at the link below for more information.

Reopening Phase II mandatory safety standards, recommended best practices and a checklist for close contact personal services. Permitted to open: Phase II, Step 2, June 22, 2020

Phase Two Step 2 will begin on Monday, 22 June. I, however, am not yet ready to reopen AND be compliant with the Mandated Safety Protocols set forth by the Governor's office. Before any massage therapy business can resume operations under the guidelines, we must meet all safety standards, create a COVID-19 control plan, and complete a self-certification. A huge part of that plan includes the purchase of disinfectants, gloves, masks, extra gowns or smocks, protective eye goggles, etc, many items that are difficult to find. As soon as I have met all of the governor's requirements, I will let you know when I am able to resume business again! A full, detailed letter will be sent to all clients, explaining the new protocols and business practices!! I look forward to seeing you all again SOON!!😊

Here are the Safety Standards and Checklist for Close Contact Personal Services (which includes massage therapy) set forth by the MA Reopening Advisory Board. These new standards will apply universally to all reopening workplaces, and are designed to reduce the risk of COVID-19 transmission to massage therapist and their clients. Clients and therapists will be required to wear face coverings for the full length of the massage session. Therapists will be required to wear gloves for each massage.

"When can we go back to getting massages again?" A question I get asked every day. Honestly, I don't know! Here is the link to the MA government website....Massage Therapy has been listed as possibly opening in "Phase 2 but not at the outset of Phase 2." Governor Baker will be updating us in his press conference scheduled for this coming Saturday, 6 June. It may be some time yet before we can SAFELY return to doing massage.

The following detailed commentary provides guidance for industries on the reopening plan as of June 1, 2020.

The covid-19 pandemic has put a great strain on everyone. And it sucks. Social distancing is definitely the right thing to do right now. But as everyone stays home, we are not just shutting down Covid-19, we are also shutting down small businesses as well. Most local businesses have already lost massive amounts of revenue as we have been in lockdown, many have already closed. With potentially weeks’ if not MONTHS' worth of lost income, many local businesses may not have the margin to survive. I am one of the many people in that boat. I have had no income since closing my doors on the 13th of March and am looking for ways to be able to pay my rent, bills, and groceries as we move through this shutdown and come out on the other side. In order to stay afloat, I would like to offer to all of my clients a discount on prepaid massages. You prepay now for massages that will happen when businesses can re-open safely and without risk. I understand that not everyone is in the position to be supporting other businesses at this time. For those who have the means and would like to help, I would greatly appreciate it. Please consider pre-purchasing your next massage session(s) or gifting one to someone else who needs something to look forward to right now. 1 to 3 massages 10% discount, 4 to 5 massages 15% discount, and 6 to 10 massages 20% discount. This offer is not to be used in conjunction with any other discount! If you are able to prepay for even one massage at this time, please reach out to me by phone or text at (413) 320 7690 or by email at jobunny (@) comcast (dot) net. Thank you so much!! Be well and stay healthy!!

To all of my clients, friends, and colleagues: As of last week, I have cancelled all massages and bodywork sessions for the foreseeable future. Even with all of the recommended hygiene protocols, I cannot guarantee the health and safety of my clients or their families. The spread of this disease is unlike anything we have seen and I don't want to take any risks!
I am working on reaching out to each client individually. If I have missed you, I apologize. I am trying to keep up as best I can with phone callas, messages,and emails.

As soon as we see the end of this mess in sight, and once it is safe to do so, I will reach out and we can schedule appointments at that time. Be well. Stay healthy. ❤️
