COVID PROTOCOLS

Sacred Touch follows Guidelines by the State Massage Therapy Board

By its very nature, massage and bodywork requires skin-to-skin contact and you should be familiar with the fact that infection control has always been a top priority for my practice. As we navigate life with additional requirements and modify existing measures due to the coronavirus, please help me to support all of my clients by cooperating with some new requirements.

My practice follows Practice Guidelines recommended by the Federation of State Massage Therapy Boards (FSMTB), along with infection control recommendations made by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA).

What to expect

I will send a electronic health intake beforehand as I have always done, to obtain updates to your health information but now the intake form asks you specifically about your potential exposure to COVID-19.
When you arrive for your appointment, I ask that you have your mask on when I answer the door. The mask must be worn throughout the entire time on the premises. I have found that the disposable, medical style of masks are easier to breathe in but wear whatever type of mask you desire except the plastic face shield which does not cover the mouth and will make lying down problematic. I will also have a mask on the entire time. If you forget your mask, I have a limited supply of disposable masks but you will be charged $5
I will greet you at the door and use a no touch thermal temperature screening to confirm that you don’t have a fever. I’ll ask you if you have developed any symptoms of illness since you completed your intake form. If you feel ill on the day of your session, there is no penalty for canceling your appointment. Massage is not advised if you have any symptoms of illness. However, any other cancellations will require full payment as I can not be as flexible as I was in the past.
Please bring a clean set of clothes to change into before your session begins..
I have implemented a touch less soap dispenser in the bathroom and installed HEPA Filters in each room.
There is hand sanitizer in each therapy room and you will receive your own zip loc bag for your trash (i.e. paper towels, tissues etc.) which you must take with you and dispose on your own.
Gloves will be worn during work on the face or during the entire session if that is your preference. Table massage is discontinued in my practice and I only offer Thai Massage which is fully clothed and on the floor. I use my feet, hands, elbows knees and legs. during the session.

APPOINTMENTS

All clients must contact me via text @240-351-41498 or email sacredtouchbw@gmail.com for a appointment. ONLINE SELF APPOINTMENTS HAVE BEEN TEMPORARILY DISCONTINUED FOR ALL CLIENTS. This is necessary to adequately space appointments for my safety and yours and a attempt to be flexible in scheduling, as appointments are very limited during this time. Please plan ahead as there may be a wait list.

Please be Patient

Please be patient as I am doing the best that I can to be at your service in a safe and well thought out manner during unprecedented times. Thank you for being my client. I value your trust and loyalty and look forward to welcoming you back.

Sincerely,

Candace J. Mickens

Service Received: Thai Massage-90 Mins

Overall, the experience was great!! The reiki was a good start working with the head. I like the techniques done on my lower body. I felt the blood flow open up in legs and I felt better. The sista does good work not only with the body, but uplifting the mind and spirit, as well, with her sacred touch.
