In this season of safety policies changing daily, as of May 15th, 2020, I can once again offer you "the best 90 minutes of the week!!"
Toby and I have been so blessed to remain healthy and strong throughout the last several months, and all of my clients have also remained CoVid-19 clear!! There was no one in the therapy room between March 24th and May 15th, 2020, and since then, client bookings have been kept to under 11 appointments per week, including 2 days per week when I take no appointments (Sundays & Tuesdays), and typically only 2-3 appointments on the other days. Even though I am now fully vacinated against Co-Vid19, and received my booster shot the end of December, I will wear a clear plastic shield over my nose and mouth while you are face up on the table, or if you are immuno-compromised, I will wear an NIOSH N95 mask Please know that I am continuing to take every precaution I physically can, to keep door handles, the therapy room, the rest room, and myself disinfected between clients (changing table linens of course, and laudering all in water that is 145 degrees Fahrenheit; changing my clothing and washing my hands and arms with Thieves foaming soap; and of course, diffusing, diffusing, diffusing the highest quality Young Living Seed-to-Seal Essential Oils throughout the entire place).
>If you are feeling ill or have been in contact with someone who is, please reschedule your appointment and I will do my best to get you in as soon as you are better. Please reschedule your appointment after your symptoms have disappeared for a couple of weeks.
>If you are more comfortable wearing a mask, you are welcome to do so, however it will make breathing much more difficult for you when you are face down, and will have to be removed when I address your neck, face and scalp.
>If the garage door is closed, or there is a car parked in my garage when you arrive, please wait 5-10 minutes after that car leaves, to allow me time to change clothes, disinfect door handles, etc., and prepare the therapy room for you.
>If you’re looking for more ways to protect yourself and your loved ones, check out the CDC website.
>You may continue to pay with cash or check, via my Square app on my phone, or using Venmo.

Thank you all for your faithful loyalty to Compassionate Spirit! It means the world to me and is what helped me get through those couple of months with no income and the slower months since then, knowing you would be there for me as soon as I could reopen my practice, and resume your regular wellness program with me as we all recover from this trying time. Please know I am here waiting and ready for you!!
** Recent research has shown that massage alone most likely boosts your immune system and supports it. Here are just a few recent research studies to support this effect, as published on www.PubMed.gov, a site administered by the National Institute of Health, that is a library of international medical research:
