With great excitement I am finally writing to tell you that I will be open for business June 15th!!! I have missed you all more than words can say. It has been a long three months without you. You all are the reason I love my job and not being able to serve you the last three months has been a roller coaster to say the least. I have rested, researched, Iaughed, cried, spent lots of wonderful hours in nature and with my family and I am all charged up and ready for action. I can't wait to get back to the treatment room!
Now, for some housekeeping...I am no longer located on Seymour street, I know you will be heartbroken that you won't get to walk up those steep stairs, freeze in the cold waiting area or smash into that tiny bathroom but we are moving up in the world. My new office is 99 Maple Street Suite 11A which is in the Marbleworks in Middlebury. Signage is slowly on its way. The entrance is just across the entrance to Otter Creek Yoga. Great parking, ground level so no stairs and the bathroom is HUGE! I cant wait for you to see it!! I had a huge income loss the past few months so decorating will come over time and once we can get back to some normalcy I have a super relaxing waiting room planned. For now its one chair that can be sanitized, staggered arrivals, single use paper towels and paper cups. Please do not arrive super early for your appointment so I have time to properly clean the office.
As for safety precautions we need to be careful to minimize the spread of Covid-19. First and foremost, do not come if you are at all feeling ill. If you have any signs of Respiratory illness you will not be permitted to enter. I won't ever charge you if you cancel last minute due to illness. Better safe than sorry. I will not be taking temperatures upon arrival because I can't find a no-touch thermometer, in the event I do find one you may be asked to have your temperature taken upon arrival. I have also ordered an air purification unit that is suppose to arrive on Friday, hopefully it will be up and running by Monday. I will be staggering appointment times to limit contact with others. There will be 60 minutes of time scheduled from the end of one session and the beginning of another. During that time the space will be ventilated, sanitized and disinfected. I will also be alternating rooms to minimize sharing air with others. Clients will not be required to wear a mask during sessions but are welcome to wear one if they feel it is necessary. I will wear a mask as well as a face shield while performing work around the neck and face. I will also use gloves for any facial work and sanitize hands throughout the massage. When you come for your appointments please head straight to the bathroom to wash your hands, be mindful of what you are touching and stick to the designated waiting chair and the client personal belongings area in the treatment rooms. I will provide you with sanitizer in the event you use a tissue or touch your face with your hands during the session.
I have disabled online booking because I need to monitor the space in between sessions. It is best to set up your next appointment after you session with me or use messaging or email. Don't worry about bothering me!! I will get to your message when I have the time. I want to see you so don't hesitate to call or message!!
Some unfortunate news about Cigna clients. I will no longer be billing insurance. I was so excited to offer that for you but it has become a huge burden for me. Cigna has proven itself to be very difficult to work with and I can no longer offer that service. I will however follow prescriptions from Doctors or Chiropractors and write you a receipt so you can send it in for reimbursement. I will also gladly help you through the process. I am sorry if this is unfortunate news for you. Please let me know if you need any guidance with this.
I have been working my way through my waiting list and hopefully have most of you on my schedule. If you would like an appointment please reach out by phone, email or text and we can set something up. Online booking is temporarily disabled but feel free to reach out at any hour, I will not answer or respond if I am in bed, don't worry! I am available Monday-Friday and 2 weekends days a month. There are a lot more afternoon evening appointments available too!!!
In a long winded way, I am so happy be be opening back up and I hope to see you soon in my new location for some relaxation, restoration, rejuvenation or what ever you need!!!
Love and Light,
