Thank you for all of your patience during this challenging time in our lives. We sincerely hope that you and all of your loved ones are well. I know that many of you are feeling the long term effects of going without massage for so long. Please know that we are very anxious to get back to work to begin relieving those symptoms as quickly as possible. Our clients are a part of our massage family and we care very much about each and everyone of you.
As we navigate this new reality, our primary focus continues to be the safety of clients, therapists and their families. I fully support the therapists in their feelings and ideas surrounding the opening of the clinic as the COVID 19 virus continues to affect our communities on a local and global front. That being said, after much discussion and consideration regarding all safety requirements and protocols from the state and local authorities we came to the decision to hold off opening until the end of July. There are many factors in making this decision. Many of our clients and therapists fall into the “at risk” category and that in itself deserves much consideration. One of the more challenging aspects of reopening is being able to secure enough of the required PPE supplies, linens, and ventilation requirements for each of the rooms and treatments. We are a small clinic with limited staff available compared to other larger clinics. Opening will be much more time consuming and costly than before COVID 19. We need to be able to open at full capacity in order to operate the business successfully. It is not only about initially securing the required supplies but also being able to renew those supplies in a timely manner so there is no interruption in future treatments.
We know that other massage clinics are currently open. We are all trying to make the best decisions as individuals in our community in a very unknown world. We are asking for your continued patience for a bit longer and look forward to seeing all of you when we reopen. Rest assured that I will send out an email informing people of the new opening date in advance so you can go online and schedule appointments. We are asking people to hold off on making appointments until our new timeline is completed.
