COVID (and other Infection) Mitigation in the Office

Updated Septeember 24, 2026.

​

I serve vulnerable populations. My commitment to protecting clients from infection has never wavered. These measures include the following:

​​​​

I mask--willingly and happily--during sessions at your request, with a well-fitting, high filtration mask. For clients, masks are optional.

​​

The massage therapy room is ventilated. Air is continuously filtered.

 

Room filter. A high-capacity filter runs in the massage room throughout the session.

Refreshing air.  When weather permits, which is most of the time, I open windows and refresh the air between sessions. When temperatures permit, I also open windows during sessions. A CO2 monitor helps establish that air has turned over. By changing the air, I hope to make it as virus-free as possible for you when you spend time here.

​

​I test and self-monitor.

 

I monitor my own symptoms. If I develop symptoms of possible COVID, I mask and/or test to distinguish between occasional allergies and COVID before working.

​

What if you have COVID-like symptoms?

​

If you have mild COVID-like symptoms, please do a home rapid COVID test the morning of your session. If it is negative, please come in as scheduled, and mask for your session. We have extra masks if you need one.

​

If you have moderate or severe symptoms, regardless of your test result, please stay home and feel better! We can reschedule you without charge.

​​​​

Please complete a COVID pre-screen before every session.

 

In the 24 hours before your appointment, you will receive a brief pre-screening checklist asking you about any COVID symptoms.​ If you have symptoms, see above for how to proceed.

 

Have questions? Need additional COVID precautions?

 

Please reach out here.

​

Why do I continue to be COVID-conscious?

​​​

I am vigilant about COVID because I am vigilant about all infection.

 

My first concern is our clients with cancer, cancer histories, and their caregivers. They feel and are vulnerable. I routinely wipe down surfaces with disinfectant after each session, but I know that by also cleaning the air as much as possible before each and every session, I offer a lower-risk environment, for all airborne bugs.

​

The other main population I serve is caregivers and people working in health care. Many caregivers cannot afford to get sick and become unable to provide care at home, or to miss clinic time at work.

​​

All clients need a safe, healthy space to rest, recharge, and get help with cancer side effects, symptoms, and life stresses. COVID mitigations make the space as safe and supportive as possible.​​​
