Coronavirus Changes

Has the Corona virus changed how I do business?

Yes and no.

I have always washed my hands before and after every massage or craniosacral treatment. I always sanitize my hands before massaging a client’s head, neck and face, which is the last part of my massages.

I still do those things.

But now, I try to pay attention and not touch my face… ever. I have a disinfectant and I wipe down the door handles and chair arms once a day. I might even start doing that more often, as long as I have disinfectant.

And I’ve stopped hugging. When it feels like a hug is appropriate or desired after a massage, which is often, I now explain that I’ve put hugging on hold for now.

Everyone seems to be okay with that.

So if the stress of all this is getting to you, come get a safe and relaxing massage… you’ll feel better. I’m doing everything I can think of to make sure neither of us will get sick from it.
