As 2020 comes to a close, we want to thank each of you for supporting our business during this year and allowing us to be a part of your self care regimen. We also want to thank you for your patience and grace as we attempted to navigate best practice during the flow of changes and restrictions.

Our current plan is to remain closed through the holidays and re-open January 6th. Our hope is that the gym will also be open, however we plan to resume regardless as massage qualifies as a personal service and continues to remain essential. COVID guidelines (attached) remain in place at this time so please review before scheduling your appointment to know what is expected. Contact us any time to make an appointment for the new year!

2020 brought varying degrees of challenges for each of us. Difficult times like this can illuminate the deep strengths and weakness of our core. While we may have been surprised at what we discovered about ourselves or those we love this year, we hope that 2021 will be a year to embrace the strong and the weak and gently explore the areas which need work. In massage, we learn that deep work should be approached slowly and with the utmost care in order to achieve the best results. Our hope is that you bring lots of love, grace and patience to those deep parts revealed so that we all can grow and heal.

Wishing you all happy holidays and joy and peace in 2021.

Plan for Reopening Massage at TAC

We are happy to have some guidelines from the state and our industry heads on timeline and protocols for re-opening our massage space. Please note that as with most things related to this pandemic, this could be subject to change. As of now, our re-open date will be June 22nd. Our hope is by this time the gym will also be able to re-open as part of phase 3 of Governor Inslee’s order. We will be contacting each of our of clients who’s appointments were affected over the last 2 months to re-schedule first and will be taking requests for new appointments beginning June 1st.

According to recommendations from the CDC we will likely be wearing a mask and will have masks available for clients. We will also be allowing more time in between appointments so that we can complete added sanitation measures and may be asking clients to follow special protocols.

Our primary goal is to promote and maintain the health of ALL our clients and to act as responsibly as possible. We are asking each of our clients to help us in this endeavor by:

-Cancelling appointments if you are feeling ill, have any symptoms of COVID19 or have been exposed to someone testing positive to COVID19. (We will turn away clients who exhibit symptoms on arrival).

-Notifying us if you contract COVID19 after being seen in our space or discover you may have been exposed prior to being seen so that we can notify all other clients who may have been exposed and self-isolate.

-Following state guidelines related to COVID19 outside of your appointment time (i.e. stay at home guidelines, wearing masks in public and other general sanitation precautions)

-Allowing 2 weeks between out of state travel and massage appointments.

We understand that personal responses to the way we conduct ourselves during this pandemic vary greatly and we want to do our best to respect them all- as long as they are not adding risk to other clients entering the space.

Thank you for your patience and cooperation. We miss our clients and value your business!
