My doors are about to reopen! I have greatly missed being a part of your lives. Despite being challenging times for many of us, many wonderful things have happened as a result of having the time to reflect on my life choices. I hope you to have been able to experience blessings during these strange and stressful times.
 
If you are ready for some healthy touch, pain relief, and that feeling that comes from releasing layers of stress from your body and your mind? Let connect. Online therapy sessions will continued to be offered. The results have been demonstrable and has allowed me to serve you at a distance. 

Please read all the way to the bottom and you’ll find a special gift waiting for you. Nourishment for your brains; If you, like me, love learning, expanding your mind and reading great books, you’re going to love it. I think it saved me over the past 12 weeks.

 
There are many elements involved in creating a safer space for you and I. Working closely with the BC. College of Massage Therapy and the BC Minster of Health, I have implemented enhanced disinfectant protocols and new treatment guidelines have been put in place to reduce the risk of infection as much as possible.
 

1. COVID-19 Pre-screening survey filled out within 4 hours of your treatment: Jane will send you the survey to fill out 4 hours before each your appointments. I too will be taking a daily check. It is mandatory that you fill this short form before entering the premises for your treatment. If you are not able to access the form, I will have paper forms available which can be completed outside of the clinic.

 

2. Masks for everyone: Wearing a mask reduces the risk that you will spread your potentially infectious moisture droplets that are released when talking, coughing and sneezing. I will be wearing one to protect you as well. Please bring your own cloth or fibre masks, If you should mistakenly forget your own I have a supply of disposable surgical masks available for $2.00 each. You can either take it home or drop it in the waste basket outside.

 

3. Two people maximum in the clinic: Adult clients should come alone in order to maintain proper physical distancing. Children may be accompanied by only one parent or guardian. Ideally, they will wait outside the clinic or in their cars during the treatment. 

 

4. Please wait outside, or in your car before your treatment time: You can arrive 5 minutes before the start of your appointment and call or text me at 604 873-4161 when you arrive. I will unlock and open the door for you to avoid you having to touch the door handle. There will be one easily cleanable chair in the reception area to sit if necessary. Please do not sit on the couch

 

5. Hand Washing Upon Entry: Once inside please go directly to the sink to wash your hands with soap for a minimum of 20 seconds. Alternatively, hand sanitizer is available in every room. Proper washing of hands is known to be effective and won’t dry out your hands.

 

6. Hand Washing at the Completion of Your Treatment: Please wash or sanitize your hands immediately at the end of your treatment. Take your mask and all belongings with you or dispose of the mask in the basket just outside the door.

 

7. Informed Consent Form in Treatment Room: Once you are in the treatment room, there will be an Informed consent form to read over and sign before the treatment can start.

 

8. Payments by credit card or E-transfer:  Payments are best made through your credit card on file or e-transfer. Receipts will be emailed to you. E-transfers should be issued before the treatment starts for smoother processing of receipts. Please send to Randall@crossroadsmassage.com. A password is no longer required.

 

9. New Cancellation Policy: If you are showing any signs or symptoms of sickness, or have come in contact with anyone who has been recently sick or traveling, I will be waiving the normal cancellation fee at this time. Please be mindful of others as there are significantly fewer appointments available and a great deal of demand.

 

10. Bookings are by Text or Phone: Go to Jane to see what times are available. For a very short period of time I ask you to text, email or call me at 604 873-4161 with the desired day and time you would like. This will be very short term. You will receive a confirmation email once the time is yours. 

 

Other Considerations                                                                 

1. Staggered Appointments: In the recent past I was able to treat 6-7 clients per day, four days a week. In order to keep everyone as safe as possible I will be staggering appointments so you won’t rub shoulders with the previous client. I have reserved 30 minutes between treatments to make up the room, rebook appointments, and disinfect the whole clinic between visits. Appointments will be available on Tuesdays and Fridays for the moment.

 

2. New clinic rates and schedule: There is a slight price increase due to the effects of Covid-19 on availability and overhead. 

1. 60 minutes treatment was 120.00 will now be 130.00.
2. 90 minutes when available was 180.00 will be 195.00.
3. Telehealth sessions over phone or Video will be 130.00 for 1 hr or 180.00 for 90 minutes. (These sessions are not eligible for insurance reimbursement as they do not fall under the category of massage therapy).
4. If you have been jobless and in need, call me to discuss payment options.

Available Days:

Tuesday and Fridays with four appointments a day for a short time, while I get back to speed and get used to sanitizing the whole clinic between each client and the wearing of PPE. Many of my colleagues have found this to be quite an adjustment.

My Gift to You

After binging way too many Netflix series, I was feeling stressed, uninspired, bored and low on energy. My friend Noah sent me a link to Readitfor.me. I tried it for two days, and got totally hooked. Not only did I feel engaged, the three books I covered, Grit, Willpower, and Getting Things Done, pulled me out of the dim place I was heading. Steve Cunningham creates these 12-minute audio, video and written summaries of these great books that put me back on the path of  intense learning, feeling motivated and being productive. His collection included some of the most influential ideas, strategies, and philosophies from the world’s best-selling business and personal development authors.

I spoke with Steve personally and arranged to gift a free year of access to the hundreds of books he’s summarized. There are curated collections, Micro and Master Classes to dive deeper into specific subjects, with the experts on these subjects. You can listen on your computer, phone or tablet, so it’s easy to listen to them when you are on the go. Click here and start feeding your brain today. (it may be starving) There is a whole year of free learning with no obligation to buy. If you decide you love it right now there's a lifetime membership for the usual price of a year. Enjoy your free membership. Partial proceed will come back to me if you love and subscribe to Readitfor.me
