What to expect during your visit to Birch during the Covid-19 pandemic:
Thank you so much for your patience and understanding while we navigate this ‘new normal’ reality. We realize that this may feel new and uncomfortable, but we are doing our best to keep everyone safe and healthy. We are also mandated by New York State to follow specific protective guidelines.
When you get here you will definitely notice the new signs hanging in our entryway. You will also notice that many of our front desk staff and team of Massage Therapists and Estheticians will be wearing masks. We continue to completely clean our treatment rooms, using CDC approved cleansers, after each client. Common areas are wiped down multiple times during the day and there are HEPA air purifiers in all treatment rooms.
Before your appointment:
-Check in with yourself about any symptoms you may be experiencing, such as fever or chills, cough, shortness of breath or difficulty breathing, fatigue, headache, new loss of taste or smell, sore throat, congestion or runny nose, nausea or vomiting, diarrhea. Please call to reschedule or cancel your appointment if you are symptomatic. No cancellation fee will be incurred.
-If you have recently been vaccinated and are experiencing an immune reaction to the vaccine (achiness,fever, swollen glands, etc.) we ask that you postpone your massage until the symptoms have disappeared. Otherwise, it is recommended to wait 2 days after your vaccination to receive any bodywork.
Upon your arrival:
-If you are not vaccinated, we ask that you wear a mask. If you forget it, one will be provided for your use. It is required that you wear your mask at all times before, during and after your session. If you are fully vaccinated, you do not need to wear a mask at this time.
-Come a few minutes ahead of your appointment time. We are currently unable to provide our tea and water station at this time, although we will provide you with water after your massage.
-You must disinfect your hands upon entry.
After your session:
-Rejoice! Feel good! Make another appointment!
-We are accepting cash and credit card payments. Tips may be left in cash or on a credit card.
Thank you for your patience, understanding and flexibility!!! We will continue to reevaluate policies as necessary.
