Be healthy! Be safe!

As we make our way through the more challenging months of the Maritime year, I want to make note of some winter massage therapy issues.

Sickness
If you - or the people in your intimate group of family or friends - come down with cold or flu-like symptoms in the day before your massage appointment, you may be contagious. Please call or text and/or reschedule your appointment. I will waive the 24 hour cancellation policy that asks you to be responsible for the appointment fee. If you come to your appointment and you are contagious, you could be passing your sickness on to me and my other clients.  Additionally, if you have an infection and you have a massage therapy treatment, it could be spreading the infection within your body. Stay home, rest and drink fluids!

Dangerous roads
If you drive to your appointments and in the hours before your appointment the roads are suddenly icy or it's suddenly stormy and you don't feel safe driving, please call and reschedule.  I would much rather you stay home and be safe than try to brave a dangerous situation just because you have an appointment.  Again, I will not hold you responsible for the fee.

In general, if you need to reschedule an appointment, please give me as much notice as possible.  Frequently I have a wait list of people who would be happy to take an appointment time you have to reschedule - I have a number of clients who live in the neighborhood and could walk to my treatment space, even in a storm.  So the sooner you can let me know, the better.  It's difficult for me to fill an appointment time if you call only an hour before.
