“The key is not to prioritize what’s on your schedule, but to schedule your priorities.”
~ Stephen Covey

I understand that sometimes life requires flexibility and a change of plans. I am always delighted to work with you. When you book an appointment with me, I ask that you honor my time as well as make a commitment to your own well-being. Please be aware I have a 36-hour minimum reschedule policy. The ideal way to reschedule is to use the reschedule link on your appointment confirmation email, at least 36 hours before your session. I believe you will benefit as deeply from our session as I do from offering my gifts and working alongside you.

Reschedule Policy:

  • If you must reschedule or cancel, please give at least 36-hour notice. If you don’t give 36-hour notice, please understand you will forfeit your session and will still be held responsible for payment of the full session fee. (Emergency cancellation for serious event or contagious illness are determined at my discretion.)
  • Early cancelations up to 36 hours prior to your session will be issued a full refund or session credit, whichever serves you best.
  • Sessions begin and end at scheduled times. A late arrival means you are taking time from your own session.
  • If you arrive more than 20 minutes late (or are a no-show), you will forfeit your session unless it is feasible and appropriate to accommodate the remainder of your session, upon my discretion. Please communicate promptly if for some reason you will be arriving late to your appointment.

General Considerations:

  • Please give yourself the full value of your session. Arrive on time (but no more than 5 minutes early.)
  • Please take a few moments to respond to the pre-session questionnaire prior to your session.  The more thorough you are, the better prepared both of us are for your appointment. You can update or edit your answers by clicking the “Reschedule / Cancel / Edit Questionnaire” link at the bottom of your session confirmation & reminder emails.
  • It’s best not eat a heavy meal less than two hours prior to your session. (If you need something to carry you over, have a easily digestible snack or light meal.)
  • Wear loose or comfortable clothing you can easily move in and refrain from wearing strongly scented oils, perfumes or cologne.
  • Payment is expected upon session booking.
  • Client information, session content and email lists are strictly confidential. I ardently respect client confidentiality outside of the session space.
  • If the practitioner or client’s safety feels compromised, the session is stopped immediately.

Phone & Remote Sessions:

  • Please be somewhere quiet with ample privacy and your phone/computer well charged.
  • For remote sessions via Zoom Video Room, please give yourself a few moments to download and test the free Zoom software before your scheduled appointment time.

COVID-19 Safety Protocols

Recognizing that a single person’s behavior can cause a tremendous ripple effect that can impact people far far away, I, like you, want to be intentional about my choices. As social animals, we are wired for connection and we grow, heal and expand through our positive social relationships and supportive community engagement.

We need each other to thrive.

Conversely, social isolation and a lack of physical contact can be a huge stressor and challenge for our collective mental and emotional wellbeing. Throughout this time I have been doing my best to stay informed about how to responsibly respond as a somatic therapist, community organizer, family member, mama, tia, independent business owner, and friend. While many of us have pre-existing local support systems that we can lean on during these times, many of us do not. Recognizing that meeting indoors and in-person is inherently risky, at this point I am more informed and the resources needed to support safety and manage risk are much more available. 

I strongly encourage the use of virtual zoom sessions. 

That being said, I recognize how vital in-person care may be for some of us, particularly depending on what you are navigating in your life, your access to privacy at home, access to adequate technology for virtual sessions, and level of outside support. For clients who choose to meet for in-person sessions during the COVID-19 pandemic, by scheduling an in-person session and signing a session consent form, the client assumes the risk for exposure to COVID-19. Clients should consult with their physician on public and personal health risk. For those of you who would like to resume in-person care, you are welcome to schedule an in-person session knowing some things are different than usual, for your own safety and mine:

  • You agree to take precautionary steps to minimize your exposure to COVID-19 before and between appointments.
  • For both of our protection, a clean, properly fitted face mask must be worn at all times. According to CDC guidelines, mask must be TWO OR MORE layers, fully cover your nose and mouth, secure under your chin and fit snuggly against the sides of your face. Do not wear a mask with exhalation valves or vents. I have reusable fabric masks for purchase.
  • Please do not arrive more than 5 minutes before your session time and use your vehicle as a waiting room. Please text “check-in” upon your arrival and I will send you a covid-consent form within 3 minutes of your check-in. Once you receive a text response, you may meet me out me outside the door for a a pre-screening and temperature check with a touch-less thermometer prior to entering the building.
  • You must agree to wash your hands and/or use the provided alcohol-based hand sanitizer prior to entering the building and throughout the session as necessary to ensure safety. (Please refrain from drying your hands on your clothing and use the provided fresh hand towel and/or hand sanitizer.)
  • No food or beverages may be consumed in the session room to ensure masks are properly worn at all times. If this is a concern for you, you may step outside of the office to care for you hydration & nutrition as needed.
  • Restroom facilities will NOT be be available. Please be sure to use the restroom before your arrival.
  • In certain circumstance, I may be required to notify federal, state, or local health authorities that you have been in the office. This may occur if you or I have tested positive for COVID-19. If I am required to report this, I will only report the absolute minimum information necessary to perform their health duties with respect for contact tracing and otherwise maintain strict confidentiality.
  • Clients are under no obligation book in-person sessions and may choose to switch to a virtual zoom session at any time to ensure health and safety. I reserve the right to terminate any in-person sessions if it becomes unsafe during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Additional COVID-19 Measures

  • I will be getting tested every week 7-10 days (baring availability) and also take my temperature before starting each work day. Remote sessions are still available.

 

  • In-person appointments are scheduled with more time in between, to allow time to ventilate the practice and clean contact surfaces before and after appointments. All props used to support your body (including shiatsu mat, bolsters, cushions, etc.) have been fitted with professionally-made custom vinyl covers so they can be easily cleaned and thoroughly disinfected between clients. Any blankets, sheets or non-vinyl props will be only used once and washed / quarantined after each client per health department guidance. I use a food-safe, non-toxic, EPA & CDC approved disinfectants for Coronavirus on all props, all areas of client contact and high-touch surfaces between sessions.

 

  • When you book your appointment, I will received a separate email with a COVID-19 Health Pre-Screening Questionnaire. Please fill this form out right away. Form must be fully completed and submitted at least 36 hours prior to your appointment. I will also have you fill out a digital consent form via email or text as you check-in for your appointment. If you or a housemate have symptoms that may indicate a COVID-19 infection, or if you are an a high risk category, please stay home. I am happy to work with you remotely via telephone or zoom. If after scheduling, you or a housemate suddenly presents any symptoms, please immediately notify me to cancel/reschedule your in-person appointment. You will not be charged a late-cancellation fee. Again, telephone or zoom will remain an alternative option for session care.

 

  • To maximize ventilation, both window will remain open at all times during your session regardless of the temperature outside. Additionally, I will have a Blue Pure 211+ air purifier (filter the air at the industry-recommended rate of 5x an hour, about every 12 minutes, in a 540 ft² room) on during the entirety of the session. On colder days, I may turn on both room heaters and offer you hot water bottles at your request. Please be prepared for the room to be a little noisier that usual with the sound from the street traffic and the air management technology; it’s a small price to pay for increased safety. If you tend to get cold easily, please wear extra layers and a thick pair of socks.

 

  • While the outbreak is in the red or purple tier, restrooms will be unavailable. Be aware that certain beverages such as coffee and black tea promote urination, so it may be advisable the limit your tea and coffee consumption in the hours before your appointment.

 

  • Please take care to touch as few objects as possible with your hands and limit the items you bring into the healing space. When you enter, place all of your personal items on the wooden cart by the door, remove your shoes and stow shoes on the stone step landing. The fabric floor mattress and pillows against the wall furthest from the entrance door are not available for use at this time. Additionally, please refrain from touching or placing any items on the massage table (unless you are receiving care on the massage table), fabric props or desk area.
