I am fortunate enough to have a beautiful, large and open massage and yoga studio with natural light from an entire wall of windows through which are woods and a babbling creek, providing a quiet and serene environment for my clients and myself. That's a great start already to a healing session:) And below are extra precautions I am taking to help minimize the spread of Covid-19,  which is allowing my clients and I to participate in healing work together and feel as safe as possible doing so.
​
  • I have my massage and yoga clients wait in their car until it's time for their appointment, at which time I meet them at the side door--not the main entrance--to minimize my clients' exposure to other people in the building.
  • I check my clients' temperatures upon arrival prior to entering the building to ensure they do not have a fever.
  • I have all clients sign a Covid-19 Waiver, acknowledging several important claims, including they are free from commonly-known Covid symptoms at the time of their appointment and receive their signed copy upon arrival.
  • I have my clients wear a mask covering their nose and mouth from the time they enter the building until they leave.
  • I wear a KN95 mask throughout all of my massage and yoga sessions, which is more protective for me and therefore my clients. In addition, I wear a mask covering my nose and mouth anytime I'm in public places when I'm not at my studio working with clients.
  • I keep a powerful air purifier in my studio running on high 24/7; it's an air purifier meant for a room much larger than mine, so the air exchange should be excellent. Plus, the building in which my studio resides has a HEPA filter on the whole building.
  • I thoroughly clean the mats, floor, and all surface areas that clients and I touch in between each massage or yoga session, as well as increase the time in between sessions (45 minutes to 1 hour). 
  • I change my clothes in between each massage or yoga session with each new client.
  • I have a hands-free sanitizer dispenser in my studio within easy reach throughout the session for clients and myself to use as needed. 
  • There are also two bathrooms conveniently located right outside my office door for thorough hand washing.
