Greetings Friends!
As I sit here reading through yet another press statement on the Coronavirus and the implications coming for us locally in North Carolina, I feel that it is important to share some ideas about how I take precautions around the office and in my home, and how you might incorporate some of that information to stay well during this season.
As we know, we are also at the height of the general cold and flu season, so it is in our best interests to keep our immune systems in their best condition. Keep in mind that Stress can be a big hit to our immunity. In fact, studies show that fear, worry, and anxiety can actually dampen the effectiveness of our immune system. Massage therapy is a great way to reduce stress and indirectly counteract that effect.
What I am doing to keep the office ready for you:
- Washing my hands thoroughly with warm water and soap for at least 20 seconds after a treatment ends and before the next begins.
- Providing you and myself with clean towels to dry hands in the washroom that are washed daily.
- Wiping down frequently touched surfaces in the lobby, washroom, and treatments rooms.
- Replacing all massage table linens between clients, and washing all used linens daily.
- Diffusing essential oils in the treatment room-Essential oils have been reported to possess significant antiseptic, antibacterial, antiviral, antioxidant, anti-parasitic, antifungal, and insecticidal activities. Using essential oil blends around the face and neck to further offer those activities to clients as your massage is ending.
- Canceling appointments if I have a fever, uncontrollable runny nose, or unmanageable cough. If I must blow my nose during your session, I take a moment to disinfect my hands. If I must cough, I cough away from you, into a towel that is then thrown in to the linens to be washed.
- Avoiding working on your face if either you or I present with cold symptoms.
What should you do if you are sick and you have an upcoming appointment?
I ask clients to cancel your appointment if you have had a fever, uncontrollable runny nose, unmanageable cough, diarrhea or vomiting within the last 24 hours. You will not be penalized for the cancellation. If you are still stuffy, but starting to get better, come on in. Oftentimes, getting a massage where we focus on cranial work to relieve sinus pressure, lymphatic drainage techniques, and reflexology on the feet to relax the body can work wonders along with the use of essential oils to open airways. BONUS! My new table has the option to sit up during your massage to prevent that annoying post-nasal drip cough, and my new face cradle creates less sinus pressure when you are laying face down.

What was that essential oil blend?
Adaptiv from dōTERRA
This month, I have been using the Adaptiv calming essential oil blend at the end of each massage.
In preliminary studies, the scent of Lavender, a main ingredient of Adaptiv, has been found to contribute to an environment conducive to performing tasks requiring sustained attention. Lavender, Magnolia, Neroli, and Sweetgum provide stress-relieving effects while Wild Orange and Spearmint energize and uplift. Copaiba and Rosemary soothe anxious feelings to round out the calming blend. Whether you’re feeling fatigued or restless, indecisive or irritable, Adaptiv Calming Blend is part of the toolbox to help the body and mind to stay balanced.
