I am very careful about covid exposure. I have multiple family members with compromised immune systems, so I have to be. I have had 4 doses of the Phizer covid vaccine and one of Moderna. I contracted covid-19 in early 2023 from a family member, in spite of my precautions, so for the time being I am that much more protected. I am also current on all other recommended vaccines for my region.

This is a low traffic space, so there is little chance of encountering anyone else in the waiting area. I share with only one other practitioner. My building is situated so that I can easily air out my office between clients. I open the front door, my office door, and a nearly floor to ceiling window in my office, and the air blows through for the 20 - 30 minutes I schedule between clients.

I use a good quality air filter which is situated near the head of the massage table. I wear an KN95 mask when in my office. Most of my clients wear N95 masks during most or all of their session. Many take it off when face down with face in the head cradle, as it can make people claustrophobic. If a client arrives without a mask I have a pack of new KN95s on hand and provide them as needed.

Beyond that my office is cleaned daily. I use fresh linens that I launder myself on hot. I clean high contact surfaces daily or more.
