I had a new client today and this is exactly what he said.

I am a massage therapist and have been in practice for 20 years, I am a Caucasian woman, I can count the number of inappropriate request to less than 5. I have a colleague, someone I mentored in the beginning of her career, she is an Asian woman, I can not even count high enough the number of inappropriate requests she has had to endure. I don't know when or how Asian woman have become so s*xualized, but something has to change.

I hope everyone is healthy and joyous,

I just wanted to let you all know that we have been given the go ahead to reopen under certain guidelines.

The ones required for the state are listed below.

Governor Northam has issued that beginning Friday 5/29, masks will be required:

-For everyone ages 10 and up

-Inside all brick and mortar retail establishments

-Inside all personal care & grooming establishments

-Inside places where people congregate

-Inside food & beverage establishments, except when eating

-On public transportation

-When accessing state or local services

Except:

-While eating or drinking

-While exercising

-If you have trouble breathing or are unable to remove the mask without help

-If your health conditions prohibit wearing a face covering

Our massage board has additional standards that must be adhered to:

De clutter and remove items from the session room that might become dusty, or contaminated and require repeated cleaning and disinfecting

Make alcohol-based hand sanitizer easily accessible to clients entering the session room.

Both the client and the practitioner must wear a face mask during the session. The client must also wear a face mask from the time they enter to the time they leave the facility. (I have purchased disposable mask that I can provided you if needed)

Disinfect high-touch surfaces between clients with an EPA-registered disinfectant. High touch surfaces include door handles, counters, tabletops, light switches, massage lubricant bottles, or any surface the practitioner or client might touch before, during, and after sessions.

I also will be running a Air purifier with a Hepa filter in the room during session.

Since I am in a shared space and do not have control over the reception area, I would like you to text me when you are parked and I will wave you in.

I will be keeping the restroom by my office disinfected so I would like you all to use that one for the time being.

If you have any questions and concerns Please fill free to reach out to me. Texting or email is the most effective.

I hope you all are doing well and I look forward to finding our new normal together.

Stay Blessed
