Fully Vaccinated Massage Therapist - KN95/N95 Masked

The guidelines from CMMOTA (Canadian Massage and Manual Osteopathic Therapists Association) are very strict, in order to keep you safe! Here is some information specifically about COVID19 protocols!

Covid19 Protocols (in place for all transmissible illnesses, really)

MASKS: If you have been recently travelling, or work in a high risk setting, I might still ask you to wear a mask when you are face up! I can provide a disposable mask for you.

WAITING AREA: I do not have a proper waiting area at this time.

HAND SANITIZER: There will be lots of it. If you do not remember the last time that you sanitized your hands, it is time to do it again.

CANCELLATIONS: I will not charge a cancellation fee if you are sick and have to cancel last-minute, but I reserve the right to not refund any payments made in advance if you show up sick!!

This includes leaving out information before booking the appointment, such as vacations, or close contact (15+ minutes with someone who has tested positive for COVID19 in the last 14 days), or recently developed symptoms that you forgot to mention before.

I adhere to Health Canada guidelines with our sanitizing/disinfecting protocols in between clients (surfaces including the table, light switches, door handles, and countertops are disinfected with approved solutions). If you have any questions about how I approach cleanliness, please feel free to shoot me an email!

For Your Safety

I wear KN95/N95 masks at work, but I am also a part-time actor and I volunteer at large events, so I do regularly have contact with other unmasked individuals. I rapid test after large events and have an air purifier in the room with me. See my protocols below!

I am up to date on my flu and covid vaccines every fall. I am up to date on other important vaccines (tetanus, Hep B, etc). If I'm not up to date, it's purely because I've forgotten to book in advance and have to wait for a day when I can have sore arms. The ADHD is strong.

For My Safety

If you develop symptoms within a 3 day period after your appointment, or are otherwise required to isolate because of a contact prior to your appointment but only receive notification after, please let me know as soon as you can! If you are waiting for results for a test, I cannot book you until it is cleared.

For Our Safety

Many clients are choosing to stay safe, just in case their allergies are not just allergies. I encourage you to make the best decision for your health and mine and I will not charge you for a last minute cancellation if you are choosing to be safe! This also includes instances of bad weather, extreme fatigue when you have a long drive, or in some cases if you have a condition that flares up to the point where leaving your home and/or receiving a massage might not help you.

As always, if you have any questions at all, please don't hesitate to reach out!

Cleaning and Disinfecting

Some of these protocol points seem like common knowledge, but I have done my best to write them down just in case you were curious, also for legal purposes. Current PPE involves KN95 or N95 masks, safety glasses/goggles in times of need, clean scrubs every day with hair secured out of the way, and an apron that is changed between clients (once I've sewn the necks on these new ones, they're a bit floppy and more in the way as of right now).

General protocols:

Wipeable pillows and PUV covers for table, heating pads, and headrest.
Sanitizable shoes with grip specifically for wearing in work space only.
Hand washing or sanitizing before touching clean sheets, tablet/desk area, and after touching used linens, after cleaning, handling money or cards, pens or other desk items.
Face cradle covers and aprons can be washed together in mesh bags.
Cleaning rags washed separate from other linens: first cycle with just hot water and detergent, second cycle with cold water, bleach, detergent.
NO REUSABLE RAGS USED ON TOILET OR SINK IN BATHROOM.
Items dropped on the floor are considered dirty, I will not use linens or tools that have fallen on the floor.
30 minutes in between clients. Exceptions may be made for clients from the same household.

When clients are here:

Use towel to get in and out of room, use towel to touch door knobs, light switches, face cradle lever, etc. Foot for pedals. Bare hands are only used on sheet/blanket, tools, oil bottles, and client of course.
I do not touch my face/mouth/hair/floor/butt and then touch you. Ever.
Sanitize client hands and (if applicable) feet with hand sanitizer in room before performing services on those extremities during high flu/cold seasons.

Cleaning between clients:
