3-23-20 Governor Northam has ordered all massage businesses to close for at least 30 days, due to the COVID-19 pandemic. We will be contacting everyone in the next few days to reschedule appointments. It looks like the soonest we might be able to reopen will be on April 24th. We hope you all stay safe & well and we hope to see you soon!

To our valued clients, We want to ensure you that we are committed to providing a safe healing space for both our clients & our staff during the COVID-19 (Coronavirus) outbreak. There has never been a better time for safe compassionate touch. Research shows that massage is helpful not only for anxiety but boosting the immune system. As always, we are providing freshly laundered linens for each massage. We are also routinely cleaning, disinfecting & sanitizing all surfaces at our studio and paying extra attention to our own health & hygiene. Our top priority is the health and well-being of our clients and staff. We have been closely monitoring recent public health concerns regarding COVID-19. If you are experiencing flu-like symptoms (fever, sneezing, cough, shortness of breath) or have recently traveled to an area for which the CDC has issued a travel advisory, we ask you to please reschedule your appointment. If you arrive at our studio with any of these symptoms, you may be asked to leave and reschedule your appointment. If you need to cancel or reschedule your appointment due to illness, we are waiving our 24 hour cancellation policy during this time, but we ask that you please try to give us as much notice as possible. Please alert us if you have been to our studio recently and experience symptoms or are diagnosed with COVID-19. Please take good care of yourself & your family during this time. Sincerely, The Essentials Massage Therapy Team (Susan, David, Mindy & Charlotte)
