The day has come: the governor has mentioned an opening date for massage therapy. As of this past Friday, we have a green light for June 22nd. If you know me, you know I'd rather do things right than fast so I will not be opening on the 22nd. Here's my plan:

I'll be spending the next couple weeks taking care of the last handful of details I need to deal with, including finalizing protocols and letting you all know what those protocols are. I want to make sure all my proverbial bases are covered before any of you come back to my office. (I'm super excited to have you all back at my office!!)
I'm going to start booking appointments the week of June 29th. If you had an appointment canceled due to the pandemic, expect a phone call that week. If you already have an appointment scheduled in July or August, we might need to adjust the time so I stay organized (and mostly sane) getting everyone back on the books. If that's the case, you'll hear from me that week as well. After all of those appointments are figured out, I'll send an email to let everyone know booking is open and what appointments are available.
That brings us to a reopen date- I've landed on July 6th. There's a massage board meeting on June 23rd and I'm anticipating they might add additional guidelines. July 6th gives me plenty of time to finish everything that's already in the works plus I'll have time for any unforeseen additions.

Over the next few weeks, I'll be sending out more emails than I usually do to go over all the necessities. Since we're already talking about scheduling, lets get those changes out of the way.
In the past, I've been pretty loosey goosey about appointment times knowing that if I had a gap in my schedule it would likely even out later in the week. With new guidelines in place, I'm not going to be able to see as many of you in a week as I used to so I need to be a little more organized and specific with my timing. I've turned off online booking for the time being. You'll still get whichever text/email notifications you normally get but this will give me the chance to make sure I'm helping the most amount of people possible.

Next week, we'll go over state guidelines like the use of masks, temperature checks, and hand sanitizer.

Thank you all for your continued support and patience. I know this hasn't been easy on anyone, but I really do believe we're all in it together.
