COVID19 Update
Your safety and well-being are very important to us and we have developed an indoor massage protocol following State and County guidelines and templates (SSPP) to help protect the health of our staff, all of our clients and community. The full text can be read here In short we have added HEPA13 / charcoal filters throughout the building. In between every client our staff will change clothing and face masks, will sanitize thoroughly, provide hand sanitizer and follow all of the recommended practices for personal care services in Alameda County. We are staggering appointments to help minimize contact with anyone other than your therapist. When you schedule your appointment you will receive an email with information about what you can expect when you arrive and what you can do to help.. Because massage therapy work involves maintained touch and close physical proximity over an extended period of time, there may be an elevated risk of disease transmission, including COVID-19. With our efforts we hope to minimize risk by following all of the recommended practices.
Because it is a requirement to wear a comfortable mask for the duration of your appointment we are not providing facial massages at this time.
For best cumulative benefits massage studies indicate that treatment once a week will create the long term relief, healing and health benefits you are seeking. While professional massage may be the most gratifying
