Hello! I am a covid conscious massage therapist.
In addition to cleaning protocols, I have an over capacity high grade filter in my massage room.

I am more than happy to wear a mask for our session upon request, no reason needed. Simply ask or indicate your preference on my intake form.

For the particular office where sessions take place, ALL clients are required to wear masks at all times (provided free of charge if needed). Practitioner is covid cautious (avoids crowds, wears an N95 or higher indoors and in populated areas outdoors) and takes a rapid test day of session. High touch surfaces disinfected between all clients. Distance reiki is also available.

*There will be NO changes in infection control practices in response to the dropping of the mask mandate*

Walton Massage Therapy offers massage therapy for cancer care, caregivers, and health care workers. This includes anyone with cancer or a cancer history, professional and lay caregivers, people recovering from recent caregiving, and people who work in health care in any role or setting. In addition, we welcome clients who do not fall into these categories, but are searching for a COVID-conscious environment.

Updated October 11, 2024:

I continue to provide services in a covid-conscious environment. I continue to wear a mask in my treatment room. There is excellent filtration in the treatment room (oversized HEPA in the room and MERV-13 filters in the building HVAC). As weather and temperature permit, windows are opened between sessions and whenever possible during sessions. Surfaces are wiped down after every session.

(Please note: The above practices apply to my own office. The office is in a professional building where in the common areas, most clients and practitioners are not masking. However, once you are inside my treatment room, I wear a mask.)

In the COVID pre-screen completed before the session, clients are asked to test if they have mild COVID-like symptoms, and to mask. If a client has moderate or severe symptoms, we reschedule the session at no charge.

Learn more at www.waltonmassagetherapy.com. Please reach out through the contact form with any questions, and when you book an initial session. Sessions may be booked online through the scheduler.

Thank you! - Tracy Walton

We have been offering Massage, Therapy/Counseling, Mens Issues Coaching/Mentoring and classes since 1991. We use a uvc air filtering system 24/7. We are happy to wear masks or don enclosed air filtering helmets at your request.

Haines Massage is currently accepting new massage therapy clients.

I specialize in treating people with anxiety and depression, and I have advanced training in massage for people with cancer or a history of cancer.

My office is a covid-conscious environment with excellent ventilation, 2 air cleaners in the massage room, surface cleaning between each client. I open a window for at least 10 minutes between each client.

PLEASE REACH OUT if you would like to be scheduled as the first client of the day. I'm happy to accommodate when possible.

I am a MA and RI based massage therapist who has been sensitive to both the immunologically-vulnerable and those with allergies and chemical sensitivities for many years.

I continue to wear a silicone respirator to see clients and an N95 for day-to-day activities outside the office and ask clients to wear a well-fitting N95 that I provide or one of their own when in my office or waiting room. I have a variety of styles of N95s, including lightweight duckbills that allow for more space around the nose and mouth. Clients are screened the day before and at the time of their appointments, and I self-monitor for symptoms constantly. I currently test when I notice any changes in my health that overlap with COVID-19 symptoms and encourage clients to do so also.

Time between appointments is currently 45 minutes during which box fans (and occasionally a third oscillating fan), an open window, and two air purifiers facilitate air turnover while I wipe surfaces with a medical grade/EPA approved disinfectant.

Throughout the pandemic, I have worked with outdoor ventilation and continue to do so. A table warmer, multiple heating pads, and a space heater have mitigated the cold as some measure of outdoor air during treatments and substantially more following them has helped mitigate the potential spread of airborne illness. (Because I have been so active in facilitating air exchange, I have not been using a CO2 monitor.)

I remain up-to-date on vaccinations, COVID-19 and flu included, and encourage clients to stay up-to-date also.

For clients with allergies and/sensitivities, air exchange also helps remove scents clients may bring into the office and an essential oil that I may have used with a client. I typically offer to use either peppermint, lavender, or lemon in a carrier oil. Linen is laundered in a fragrance free, hypoallergenic detergent, and canvas bags laundered in the same way are provided for each client’s clothing and personal effects. I also use fragrance free soap in my office and avoid disinfectants with fragrances.

I sincerely welcome and encourage questions and suggestions for improving safety and comfort.
