COVID-19 Policies & Procedures
Please review the following new Policies & Procedures that have been put in place due to the COVID-19 pandemic. New procedures are mostly state-mandated, and must be followed both by myself as your therapist and you as my client. If you cannot abide by the following please reconsider scheduling with me, as these are non-negotiable. Please make special note of the NOTICE TO ALL CLIENTS at the bottom of the page.

BEFORE YOUR APPOINTMENT
- As COVID-19 infection rates are increasing again, all clients, regardless of vaccination status, are required to wear a mask during their sessions. The mask may be removed while you are face down, but must immediately put it back on when turning face up or when the appointment has ended.
- Within two weeks of your scheduled appointment, please call to cancel or reschedule your session if you:
- have any respiratory, cold, or flu-like symptoms;
- have tested positive for COVID-19;
- have come into contact with someone presenting with symptoms;
- or have come into contact with someone who has tested positive for COVID-19;
- You will not be charged any fees for rescheduling or canceling sessions due to COVID-19.
- Only scheduled clients will be allowed to enter; please do not bring spouses, children, friends, etc., as they will not be allowed inside.
- Please remove shoes immediately upon entering and leave them on the mat by the door.
- A hand sanitizer station is set up within the entryway. Please sanitize your hands after removing your shoes.
- Proceed directly into the treatment room from the sanitizer station.
PROCEDURES FOR APPOINTMENTS
For client peace of mind, I am including my professional protocols and cleaning procedures below:
NOTICE TO ALL CLIENTS
The health and safety of all my clientele, as well as my own, is my utmost priority during this difficult time. Please be honest about any travel that you have done, any symptoms that you may be experiencing, COVID-19 test results and vaccination status, and any contact you may have had with possibly-infected persons; as stated above, you will not incur any penalties if you need to reschedule or cancel your session(s) due to COVID-19. It saddens me to say, however, that other therapists and service professionals have experienced clients being dishonest about these things, summarily putting the health and well-being of not only the therapist/service professional but all of their clients at risk. With that being said, if I discover that you were dishonest about travel, contact, symptoms, and/or test results, I will have no choice but to remove you from my client list and you will no longer be able to book any services with me.
- All pre- and post-appointment interviews and related business will be conducted within the treatment room, including payment.
- All clients must be wearing a face mask while face up on the table. You are allowed to remove the mask when face down, but must immediately put it back on when turning face up or when the appointment has ended.
- When you have dressed, please open the door and wait for me to rejoin you. Post-appointment business, including re-booking and payment, will be done within the treatment room.
- While I am still gladly accepting all forms of payment, the following are going to be the safest way to pay for the foreseeable future:
- Check
- Card (credit/debit, Health/Flex Savings)
- Electronic (PayPal, Venmo, Cash App, Apple Pay)
For client peace of mind, I am including my professional protocols and cleaning procedures below:
- As of 4 April, 2021 I am fully vaccinated.
- I will be continuing to wear a face mask and apron for all appointments for the foreseeable future. Face masks and aprons will be changed out between clients to ensure the safety of all clientele and avoid any potential cross-contamination.
- Table linens will be removed and immediately put into the washing machine after each session has ended.
- The following surfaces will be cleaned/disinfected before/after each appointment:
- Doorbell, all door handles, staircase railing, bathroom countertop and sink, toilet, all surfaces within treatment room (chairs, table and headrest, top of corner bookcase, shelves, etc.), clipboard and pen, emollient holster and containers
