Covid Protocols

We follow Guidelines from 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.


Sacred Touch  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 the therapy room and you will receive your own ziploc bag for your trash (i.e. paper towels, tissues etc.)  which you must take with you and dispose on your own.
  • Vinyl (non latex) gloves will be used on the face and head area and may be used on the entire body if preferred.  Thai Massage is the only massage service offered at this time which is fully clothed and on the floor and the hands, feet, knees, elbows, and legs are used during the session.

Make A Appointment

ONLINE SELF APPOINTMENTS  ARE TEMPORARILY SUSPENDED. All clients must send a text to 240-351-4198 or email to sacredtouchbw@gmail.com to book a appointment. Please include the service you want, your name, phone number and email. 


 The discontinuance of online booking is necessary  for your safety and mine  so that I can adequately space the appointments while also being flexible to accommodate varying schedule needs. The number of appointments have been reduced so please plan ahead as there may be a waitlist.

Patience is Appreciated

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

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.

Candace is very personable and knowledgeable. I like how warm and inviting she is. And how she delights in serving her clients and the community. I definitely aim to make a monthly massage with her part of my self-care routine!

I received a Tai massage from Candace earlier this month and it was amazing! For the last 2 years, I've been experiencing consistent pain in my lower right back area. Over the years I've received a lot of body work, mostly swedish massage and deep tissue massage. This was my first full session with Tai massage. It was such a different experience. It was not just an experience that was happening to me but one that I felt I got to participate in in a meaningful way. It felt like "Chuch on a mat!" Real talk, I walked away feeling so good not only in my lower back but everywhere. I was so energized for the rest of the day. I had Candace laughing because when she finished I jumped up and started dancing and hollering because it was the only way my body could express how good it felt in that moment. In this moment in time, self love and self care are critically important. So much going on and we are carrying it in our physical and emotional bodies. Candace is truly a treasure in our midst. She ain't playing y'all. She is the real deal!
