Gorgeous weekend here in Victoria! My extended Spring Break/Vacation is coming to a close....The update from Dr. Bonnie Henry, BC's Provincial Health Officer, OsteopathyBC, and the CMTBC (College of Massage Therapists, BC) have sent information to re-open our practices.
It's true - life will continue, but with a few differences. Change is normal. My planned re-opening will be Tuesday June 2nd at my Johnson street location. I will resume appointments there and at Morley street clinic. The number of patients I see per day will be reduced because of the increased time between appointments. This may change in the future.
I am still accepting new patients for my waitlist - but understand this could be several months to a year for an initial appointment.
PLEASE READ VIP: Clinic guidelines
- There will be a new COVID-19 specific consent to go over in person.
- Bring or wear your own mask if you feel that you would like to wear one. If you forget, I will have disposable masks available if you are more comfortable wearing one. It is not required.
- I will be wearing a mask for now.
- All linens will be clean and changed for every person, the table and face rests will be cleaned between every person.
- All common surfaces that are touched will be cleaned between everyone, so I have a bigger buffer between patients. So please be mindful of time before and after your session.
- Hand sanitizer will be provided, as well as the ability to wash your hands.
- Please refrain from touching your face during your session. If you need to, tissue is provided.
- If at any time before your appointment you are not feeling well, please call me right away to reschedule.
Guidelines for Morley street clinic
- Please wait in your car or outside in the garden by the clinic door until I call you in or text you. This is to prevent a traffic jam in the hallway
- Remove shoes in the hallway
- Please wash your hands upon arrival - soap up and warm/hot water for 20 sec please.
- Lets chat about whats new - I have a small list of questions and a new consent form to go over with you. I will have it online so you may fill it out before your appointment.
- Payment - you can prepay for your appointment by e-transfer to info@figure8therapeutics.com, bring cash, write a cheque, or pay by VISA or MC.
- When you leave you may wash your hands again.
- Please note - I have done renovations and repainted the clinic, and the off gassing of the paint is still happening, if you are concerned about this let me know. Its been over 2 weeks now, and its still "painty" smelling. I'm airing it out daily, but it could still take a while.
