Website Changes and New Services!

Hello everyone!

If you’ve booked with me before you’ll notice that the scheduling page has changed. Hopefully this change makes things a little more intuitive for everyone. As always, if anything is broken or behaving badly, please reach out to me and let me know I messed something up. Unfortunately, there is no way to migrate user information from the old system to the new, so you’ll have to enter your details the first time you use the new setup.

Prices have changed to include gratuity and the tip prompt has been removed from checkout. I hope this streamlines the checkout process and ensures everyone has a better experience!

Starting in April, I am very excited to be able to offer mobile hot stone massage as a service option! People who find heat relaxing or are sometimes ticklish during a massage hot stone massage may achieve better results with hot stone massage than a purely manual modality like Swedish or sports massage.

If you have any questions, or if anything in the new scheduling tool is behaving poorly, feel free to reach out to me!

I hope you all have a great year!

Simon

January 2023 Update!

The last posts here are all about the pandemic and providing updates on pandemic practices. To say the pandemic is over when people are still contracting and suffering with COVID-19 seems premature, but there is obviously a “new normal” taking hold.

Some precautions have always been taken by Teagardin Massage, such as thorough sanitizing of linens and equipment between each client. Discussion is welcomed about what sorts of additional precautions are available and which you’d like to have taken so you feel safe during your appointment.

Practice Changes: Coronavirus Safety Measures

The following changes to Teagardin Massage practices have been made in hopes of providing a safe experience for customers during the coronavirus pandemic. The pre-covid19 massage best practices are still being followed where they haven’t been superseded by the new guidance. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me.

1) Masks will be worn by the massage provider (me) and the client from the time I arrive and until I’ve left. This is for everyone’s safety. If you do not have masks available, I will provide a simple, sanitized, cloth mask for client use.

2) To avoid the spread of disease, I can no longer provide a table warmer. If clients have their own heating blankets or similar items we can use these, but my table warmer presents too much risk for spreading disease.

3) A verbal coronavirus symptom screening will be conducted before each massage.

4) If a client tests positive for coronavirus within 2 weeks of receiving massage you are requested to inform me as soon as they are able. I will use this information to access coronavirus testing immediately.

5) If I test positive for coronavirus I will reach out to everyone I have worked with 2 weeks prior to diagnosis as soon as I am able to so that you can seek testing. I will cooperate with official contact tracing efforts.

Covid19 and Shelter in Place

Due to the danger the novel coronavirus presents to public health, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz has issued a shelter-in-place order in effect from March 27 at 11:59pm to April 10 at 5:00pm. In compliance with this order, Teagardin Massage will not be accepting new bookings during the order. I will be working with anyone who has an appointment during this window to reschedule for a later date. Additionally, the standard less than 24-hours notice cancellation fee will be waived during this time. I am committed to following best practices and expert advice in protecting your health, and as the covid19 situation progresses and changes I will do my best to keep you all informed.

If you have questions or concerns regarding the shelter-in-place order, please review the StayHomeMN Faq.
