COVID-19 Policies

(Updated August 2022)

Risks for Transmission of COVID-19

Please understand that there is an increased risk for COVID-19 transmission associated with giving/receiving massages. Please review the following policies before scheduling an appointment.

Birch Tree Wellness, LLC is thoroughly cleaning & disinfecting between appointments. However, this is NOT a guarantee. Transmission risk is increased by being close together for long periods, particularly in small, poorly-ventilated spaces.

Modified Cancellation Policy

Amid the ongoing uncertainty of COVID-19, I have modified my cancellation policy to offer greater flexibility to my clients. I hope this will alleviate any stress or hesitation you have about an upcoming appointment. If you need to reschedule for whatever reason, especially if you are not feeling well, I understand. However, please contact me as soon as possible to reschedule. In addition, there will be no penalties for cancellations.
