This is a behind the scenes look at my procedures for cleaning, disinfecting, and resetting my massage table. There is a LOT more that goes on between sessions than what appears in this video. However, demonstrated here is the portion between sessions that involves cleaning and disinfecting the work area for the next client.💆♀️💆🏾♂️
The products I use are EPA registered disinfectants 🤓 with a 1 minute contact time. Which means it only takes 1 minute of the spray or wipe to do its job killing viruses and other germs! It specifically lists that 1 minute contact time WILL KILL HUMAN CORONAVIRUS 🦠 (as well as Hepatits B&C, Herpes Simplex type 1&2, HIV, Poliovirus, Rotavirus, Norovirus, Influenza A including 2009 H1N1 Influenza A Virus).
🧼I take special care to also wipe down surfaces, handles, door knobs, clothes hooks, client chair and table, implements that were used such as pens and forehead thermometer, and disinfect my laminated forms. All massage tools are cleaned, disinfected and UV disinfected as appropriate.
And for extra measure the air is purified with a HEPA UV air filter to help keep the air as clean as possible.

It’s that time of year again. A time of celebration, family gatherings, holiday parties, gifting, traveling, and most of all, excitement. While many of us are thrilled and looking forward to the holiday season, that excitement is generally accompanied by STRESS. Stress to pick out the perfect dish, give the perfect gift, maintain a spotless house, show up to every party, and decorate our homes like Martha Stewart. So here’s a few tips to help you keep your holiday stress under control, so you can enjoy what the holidays are truly about.
The holidays are a time that we're all doing the most to show gratitude for those closest to us. We gather around large meals at Thanksgiving, catch up with those we don't get to see very often, watch football, joke with the cousins, and then at Christmas, we pour ourselves into thoughtful gift-giving. The problem is that there are so many of us who take this to an extreme level and forget about taking care of ourselves.
This time of year is a favorite for many. It’s a time where everyone is reflecting on the events of the year and how grateful they are for their health, life, family, and friends. But did you know that gratitude goes deeper than just a feeling? It truly affects how the mind and body function!

It’s that time of year. Fall, family gatherings, fellowship, and food are all things that make the last few months of the year a favorite for so many.

You and your friends can still have festive fun while getting some much needed relaxation before the Holidays.
