Hello all, I have been quiet over the last few days as I weigh what to do with a business that has my hands on people all day long. While I always clean diligently - especially during flu season - I recently increased the frequency of cleaning often touched things. Despite all of my efforts I am growing increasingly unsure that what I am able to do is sufficient to keep my clients, students, family and self safe in this uncertain time.

Reports show that people can be carrying the virus for days or weeks without symptoms. It has been reported that the virus can live airborne for hours. There is no way for me to confidently protect against these scenarios.

Many of my clients fit in to the high risk category and I, myself, am on medication that puts me at a higher risk. I know that we are all doing everything we can in the face of this virus to protect the vulnerable members of our community. Therefore, I have concluded that the best way for me to protect you all is to close the studio until at least March 31st.

The hope, as you know, is that apart in the coming weeks will allow us to have a better picture of what this virus can do and how to best protect ourselves and each other. It will also slow the spread of the virus taking pressure off medical professionals and facilities working hard to keep everyone cared for.

If you have a massage scheduled with me in the coming days or weeks, I will contact you to reschedule. If you are part of an on going series, we will have a make up for the two remaining classes - I will be in touch with further details as I have them.
