Guys… it’s that time of year again.
Here’s your gentle reminder:
If you’re sick — or if you were just sick and are only feeling “kind of better” — please stay home.
Give yourself 3–4 full days symptom-free before coming in for a massage.
Massage means close contact, and when you come in sick, your therapist is at high risk of catching it. We want to keep everyone healthy and keep our schedule running smoothly.
A quick note on cancellations:
We require 24 hours’ notice, and last-minute cancellations are charged at 100%. This will be enforced moving forward.
Thank you for respecting our space, our bodies, and our time. 💛

Tips to Help Prevent Getting Sick
1. Prioritize Sleep
Your immune system tanks when you’re tired.
Aim for 7–9 hours consistently.
2. Stay Hydrated
Warm tea, electrolytes, or just plain water.
Hydration keeps mucus flowing and immune cells functioning.
3. Vitamin D + Zinc
Most people are low in Vitamin D this time of year.
A supplement or sunlight (when possible) makes a difference.
4. Nasal Rinsing
A saline rinse or a neti pot helps flush viruses out before they take hold.
5. Hand Hygiene (the real kind)
Wash hands 20–30 seconds, not a “quick rinse.”
Hand sanitizer helps but isn’t a replacement.
6. Load Up on Immune-Boosting Foods
• Citrus
• Garlic
• Bone broth
• Ginger
• Turmeric
• Leafy greens
• Berries
7. Manage Stress
Stress weakens your immune system faster than anything.
Breathwork, yoga, meditation, and light movement all help.
8. Avoid Overtraining
Hard workouts when you’re run down can suppress immunity for up to 72 hours.
9. Air Purifier + Humidifier
Viruses spread more easily in dry air.
A humidified room keeps sinuses protected.
10. Sauna (yes!)
Heat exposure can support immune function and improve recovery — just not when you’re actively sick.
Stay healthy this season!!
