The Spot

These past weeks have been quite interesting, haven't they? . I'd like to let you know that I've taken the opportunity to teach my kids more of the trade. . .... . . #schoolathome #quarantine #massageonlockdown #washyourhands #stayhealthy #illbeback #sonomavalley #sonomastrong #massagesonoma #stayhealthysonoma See more

I hope this email finds you well and healthy! Because shelter in place orders have been extended, I am forced to close my schedule further - until May 1st at the earliest. I ask that you please not cancel your appointments so that I may show proof of lost work. Appointment reminders will still be sent but please, ignore them or confirm if you are bothered by the reminders.... Please understand that I will return when it is safe to do so; for you, for me, for our family and friends. Thank you so much. Lisa

Now it’s official: Our State Massage Council strongly recommends we stop providing hands-on services until further notice. The health crisis presented by the Coronavirus is unprecedented. The crisis is public and personal and our response needs to be equal to the challenges. In order to protect the public and the therapists, CAMTC is strongly recommending that certificate holders and schools immediately stop providing hands-on services until further notice from the Governor and or health authorities. At https://www.cdph.ca.gov you will find more information about COVID-19. Copyright 2020 California Massage Therapy Council, All rights reserved.

After very careful consideration, I am announcing that I will be rescheduling all of my massage through April 5th. Safety is my top priority. The CDC is now recommending social distancing: all non-essential contact needs to be avoided. So for the health of myself, my family and all of my valued clients, this seems like the best decision.... I’ll be rebooking appointments in order of standing appointments. Please let me know if you prefer to rebook now or wait to see how this plays out. Remember that being calm right now will only help us in the long run. Stress raises cortisol levels and compromises our immune systems. As we learn how to navigate through these uncharted waters together, remember that thoughtfulness, patience and kindness are paramount right now. If you may need anything at all, please reach out! I would be happy to pick up a prescription, deliver groceries and essentials to you. All my best, Lisa
