Jan-Raye Graham Gardner, Massage Therapist (Specializing in Seniors) No longer practicing massage therapy. Out of business for good. I have been giving massage therapy for more than 35 years.

Would you mind getting off my business page? That is worse than rude, and I hope your mama taught you better! This is your POLITE notice...

Well, it finally happened. Since the Pennsylvania Massage Therapy Board has decided not to accept online courses for the license renewal requirements, I will not be licensed after January 31st, 2023. It seems I could have asked for a waiver two months ago, when I didn't know to ask.

Since I have had no clients since early 2020, this is not a hard adjustment. Thank you to all my friends and supporters! I have learned so much from each of you! It has been my joy to work together with you.

I will maintain this page for a while and then let it go. Blessings in our future! See you on the other side of Covid.

Still not practicing massage, still about Covid. Let me explain.

Since the first days of the pandemic, before we even knew what to do, I knew I had to protect my clients by not spreading infection. That's easy. Act like I have a cold and cancel appointments.

But as we learned more, I realized how much danger there is for my high risk family member with pre-existing conditions. It's as though Covid was designed to attack all the "weak points" of his medical history. So, since early 2020...

I see seven people regularly. I live with two. I visit one. I talk to four of them from four feet away, masked or outside. Those four are unvaccinated.

Five out of seven are high risk, as in they could wind up among the three or more hundred people a day who die of covid with pre-existing conditions, vaccinated or not.

I shop with a KN-95. I see medical professionals. I eat take-out in the car or at home, not in restaurants. No movies, museums, programs, community groups, nothing. It's okay. I am adaptable.

This has been going on for almost three years.
Am I still a massage therapist? Of course! I have kept up all my licensing. I am still learning and interested. In forty-five years I have not burnt out.

Can you be an exception and get just one tiny massage? Not a chance. I love my work, I miss my clients and friends, and I'm truly sorry.

This too shall pass. We will have a great story to tell all the days of our lives. It's okay.

See you on the other side!
