Archive: Covid-19 Updates

The past 2 years have been a mini roller coaster! I saved the updates for a little personal record of history :)

Masks and Self-checks at home are still required for appointments. Let's continue to stay safe and healthy.



​9.8.21: Scheduling Changes - Accepting New Clients with Referrals only and for Maya Abdominal Therapy
If you have received a session from me before, you are welcome to schedule online. If you are a new client you must have a referral. The exception is for Maya Abdominal Therapy since it's a specialized treatment. This is temporary until the schedule isn't too booked out, thank you for understanding.

​6.18.21: State-Wide California Covid-19 Re-Opening:
At this time, due to the close contact nature of this work, I'll keep wearing a mask for all appointments and continue getting weekly Covid tests. I also strongly advise mask-wearing unless you have a medical reason. Please continue to conduct your own health checks at home, and do not hesitate to cancel if you have a cough or fever. Thank you and let's continue to stay safe. 



​5.28.21: Covid-19 Safety Protocols: 

Although Santa Clara County is now in Yellow Tier and Social Distancing Protocols are no longer required, please conduct your own health check before your appointment. For now, masks must still be worn throughout the treatment and I'll continue to sanitize between each appointment. Thank you.

​UPDATE 9.1.20: Medical Massage Allowed
The State of California and Santa Clara County now allow Massage Therapy with a Doctor or Chiropractic referral. I've started accepting patients with a referral and have opened up the online scheduler. When you get the referral and schedule an appointment, the appointment will be pending upon approval. The referral can be sent by email or text, so as soon as I receive it, the appointment will be confirmed. I look forward to seeing you soon! Thank you. ​

UPDATE 7.15.20 - SHUTDOWN ORDER: 
Santa Clara County is now among the counties complying with the state mandated shutdown of indoor businesses which includes massage therapy. I am cancelling existing appointments and continue to closely monitor the updates.
​Thank you again for your patience. 

​
UPDATE 7.14.20:
30 counties in California were ordered yesterday back to stage 2 of the SIP. Santa Clara County is not among those affected so I will still be opening this week. Things could change at any time and I'm closely monitoring the updates. Stay tuned! 

UPDATE 7.13.20:
Santa Clara County has authorized massage therapy to resume and I have opened up my schedule on a very limited basis. If you are a new client, contact me first before scheduling an appointment online.

Updates are changing everyday, so thank you in advance for your patience and understanding as we figure this out as we go. 

​SAFETY FIRST!!!

UPDATE 5.26.20:

As the order for Stage 3 high risk businesses to remain closed is still in effect for Santa Clara County, I have to cancel appointments and close my schedule again. As soon as the order is lifted I will open up my schedule. I'm very sorry to have to turn away appointments - please stay well and safe. 


UPDATE: 5.5.2020

I am still observing the Shutdown order which is extended to May 31, 2020. My schedule is up and open from June 1, so you can make an appointment on my online scheduler. I hope to be open at that time, but of course circumstances may change. We'll see when we get there, until then, stay safe and healthy! 

UPDATE 3.16.20:

I am currently shut down until further notice. May we all stay safe, calm, and healthy. 

COVID-19 Information:
In addition to the standard health and cleaning practices that I follow, I have implemented additional measures such as: more frequent wiping down of door handles, cabinets, bathroom counter, faucets. I have sometimes used gloves and now I am using them for every treatment, and of course, washing my hands and arms past my elbows before and after. My family and myself are currently healthy, exhibit no symptoms, and have not come into contact with anyone with COVID-19. 

The only people who come into the space are myself and my clients. There is no foot traffic in-and-out of our office,  The goal is for a peaceful, clean and healing sanctuary.

It goes without saying that if you're sick, you'll stay home. If you have to cancel last-minute because you feel ill or believe you may have been infected, the cancellation fee will be waived. 

Thank you for your continued business. It is my pleasure to actively maintain a place of healing and respite in these anxious, uncertain times.
