Our Texas Governor, Gregg Abbott has called for all massage therapists to stay at home through 4/30/2020
Here’s an update from the Bosslady, Jeni Spring:
(You can read our original post about temporarily closing through April 13th here.)
IF YOU HAD AN APPOINTMENT SCHEDULED DURING APRIL: We are leaving your appointment “as-is” on our books so that we can see who we missed while temporarily closed. You’ll have 1st dibs at rebooking, and we aren’t going to charge you for any appointments that are on the books while we are closed, of course. I’d like to have everything laid out simply when we re-open so that I can show the books to any insurance claims as needed, so they see what we missed out on.
In case you didn’t know, this is a particularly scary time for massage therapists. Not only do we touch people all day every day for a living, but we also have no option to work from home. We are being called “Non-Essential” which is a swift kick in the pants to our views on where we feel massage therapy stands within the Complementary and Alternative Medicine and Health Care realms. Although we agree that it’s important to #FlattenTheCurve and save important supplies like face masks for the hospitals, the massage industry is struggling with our identities right now, especially when we see our Chiropractor, Acupuncture and Physical Therapy colleagues still at work. It’s frustrating, that’s for sure, but WE WILL BE BACK!!
- If you love our Sasquatches and want to help support us through this crisis, we would like to remind you that we have gift cards available for purchase online HERE– with no physical contact required. Let’s be real, you’re probably going to need a massage (or several) come the end of all this anyway! Once we re-open, you can redeem your gift cards and saved-up membership massages to get underfoot with our team.
- You can take advantage of our Self-Massage and Couples Massage “COVIDeo” lessons online for just $10/month.
- We also have a GoFundMe account that you may choose to donate to here.
We’ll be eager to get back to work as soon as it is safe for everyone!
