Governor Cuomo has announced that Massage Therapy will be part of Phase 3 in the Hudson Valley.
I do not believe it is safe to give or receive massage at this time. Many of my clients are high-risk, including those of a certain age and those that have underlying health conditions. I am not alone in feeling this way. Out of concern for the well-being of my clients, myself, and my family, my practice will remain paused until I feel confident that I can practice safely. Read more about my decision in my Newsletter:
03/13/2020 In advance of the NYS mandate, I have temporarily closed my practice due to the coronavirus pandemic. Everyone please stay safe.
At the suggestion of some of my amazing clients, I started a GoFundMe page in April. Initially, it was to help with bills until Unemployment was approved. I finally started seeing payments in mid-May and am now up to date. The donations I received were a blessing and have greatly helped ease the burden of my loss of income.
I was hoping to be back to work by Summer, but now that we know more about the virus, many of us (nationally and internationally) have decided it is unsafe to work and will stay closed for an indefinite period. In the meantime, I am trying to secure some of the supplies and equipment that I will need when I eventually re-open. I am concerned that my Unemployment will stop now that we are permitted to go back to work, so I am keeping my page active.
If you have the means,I would be so grateful if you would consider making a donation to help with expenses while my practice is suspended.
