COVID-19 Safety Procedures and Protocols
Dear Clients, please know that, as always, I am taking safety very seriously. I will be following and exceeding all of the requirements laid out by the Oregon Health Authority. I look forward to creating a new and comfortable space for treatments, and can’t wait to see you again.
New Clients: Are you a woman who is primarily isolating, practicing safe social behavior, wearing a mask, and considered low-risk? If so, I’d like to help you through this challenging time.
Here is what Mindful Massage Milwaukie is doing to keep you safe during this time. Please carefully review the new policies and procedures for clients and therapist during COVID-19.
* If prior to your appointment you have come in close contact with a person with COVID-19, you must reschedule your appointment a minimum of 14 days out, even if you have tested negative.
* Prior to your appointment you will fill out a new and updated health intake form with a series of health related COVID-19 screening questions and a consent to treat and liability waiver. This must be filled out prior to your appointment. New clients - I will contact you to set up an over the phone initial intake to discuss your health history, treatment goals, and answer any questions you may have including COVID-19 protocol questions.
* I am currently limiting the amount of clients I see as well as the days and hours I work.
* Clients may not have a guest wait for them in the massage office unless the client is a minor.
* Clients are now being asked to arrive 10 minutes early accommodate a brief COVID-19 health screening and cover treatment goals. When you arrive you will be asked to wait in your car and text me. I will text you back when I am ready and will greet you at the door and you will remove your shoes. We will do another health screening, including a temperature check. If your temperature is 100.3 or higher, you will kindly be asked to reschedule. I will abide by the same screening.
* After a brief discussion of treatment goals, you will then be asked to wash hands for a minimum of 20 seconds. Hand sanitizer will also be available throughout the office.
* Clients and therapist are required to wear a mask at all times while in the office (I have medical grade disposable masks available for clients free of charge). I have a special accommodation for face down positioning that still keeps us safe, unless you are comfortable with your face mask on while in the face cradle. No exceptions will be made for this face mask policy. This is for the protection of my clients, myself, and the community. If you show up to your appointment and refuse to wear a mask, your appointment will be canceled, treated as a “No Show”, and you will be charged the full amount.
* There will be no facial massage/Manual Lymph Drainage for the face at this time. Hot towels, cups, hot stones, and Mother Earth Pillows will still be available. The infrared chakra crystal heating mat is still available. Aromatherapy will still be available as well as special massage oils.
* I am scheduling an hour in between clients to allow for a thorough disinfecting of all rooms including reception area, treatment room, and bathroom. All linens, tools, surfaces (massage table, face cradle, bolsters, doorknobs, counters, hooks, shoe tray, clothing bin, chairs, toilet, sink areas, all touched surfaces, etc.) will be cleaned and disinfected with medical grade EPA approved disinfectants. I also change clothes in between each client.
* I have invested in hepa air purifiers to run in each room. These top of the line air purifiers clean the air 10 times in an hour, down to 0.1 microns. As well, the front door will be open in between clients to circulate the air.
* If during the 14 days after your session you feel ill, and especially if you test positive with COVID-19, you are asked to contact me and let me know. In the same way, if I or any of my clients test positive within 14 days of your appointment, I will call to let you know.
* If you are healthy and not considered high-risk, massage therapy can be beneficial to you at this time. If you are not comfortable adding massage therapy back into your wellness routine at this time, I understand and look forward to providing massage services to you when you are ready.
* This is an evolving process and could change at any time.
If there are any questions concerns regarding these policies and procedures, or about what to expect during your treatment, you can contact me at 503-970-0817.
In gratitude,
Linda Jutzi, LMT
