Important Information regarding COVID-19
5/20/2020
Today Illinois announced the lifting of restrictions for business closures. It was mentioned that personal care businesses may open as soon as May 29th. There is more information that will be released in the next few days regarding specific industries and I am following along to see what is included for massage.
Given the nature of my profession and the fact that I am in close proximity with a client for a prolonged period of time, my situation requires careful consideration. There are protocols and procedures that I need to get in order before I can safely reopen. Proper cleaning products and masks are still a challenge to find and I need to make modifications to my treatment room. With all of this in mind I do not anticipate opening on May 29th. I do not have a specific reopen date yet, but I will let everyone know when I do. I anticipate easing back into things with a modified schedule to accommodate more time between clients as well as a decrease in open hours. Please know that this will all be temporary.
The phrase “do no harm” keeps coming to mind these days, and that’s exactly what I intend to abide by. I will take every precaution to keep my clients and my family safe. I know people are eager to get in for an appointment, and I totally understand that, but I’m asking for patience as I figure everything out.

Hello Everyone,
I hope you are all safe, healthy, and hanging in there. As you know, the stay at home order has been extended to May 30th. As much as I miss my work and would love to be back at it, this extended closure is a reassuring step. We have saved countless lives and have done our part to help flatten the curve. I am rescheduling May clients with the hope of a June opening, but that date may be pushed back again, especially with the nature of my services involving such prolonged close contact. My focus right now is looking at the long-term. My clients’ safety is my absolute #1 priority. I will reopen when I get the go-ahead from officials from state and local governing bodies, representatives from the AMTA (American Massage Therapy Association - my professional organization and liability insurance), and from my family. When there are clear guidelines and protocols in place that ensure client safety, I will reopen. Right now there are still too many unknowns.
I have been a Massage Therapist for 13 years and opened Greentree Massage 7 years ago. I am a member of this community, and most importantly I love my clients. I WILL BE HERE FOR YOU. I don’t know for sure exactly when I can return, but it will happen.
Your well-being is at the forefront of my my mind. Thank you to everyone who has reached out with words of encouragement. I am absolutely humbled by those who purchased gift cards to show support. It has helped tremendously and has eased some of the financial worry as I continue to navigate the steps to other funding strategies.
If you are in need of ideas or advice on how to help yourself during this time, whether it’s stretches or at-home remedies to relieve pain and tension, please do not hesitate to contact me.
I miss you all more that you can ever imagine and I can’t wait to see everyone again.
Light & Love,
Jennifer
