Greentree Massage Updates
1/20/21
The restrictions have officially been lifted and I can reopen immediately!
I am so excited to be back in business and can’t wait to see everyone again. All safety measures and cleaning protocols are still in place and masks need to be worn at all times.
If you feel sick, or have flu-like symptoms please reschedule. If you have been exposed to COVID-19, think you may have it, or are awaiting test results, PLEAS RESCHEDULE. I will find another appointment time for you. Please do your part to keep me, my family, and other clients safe. I am doing the same for you and plan to receive the vaccine as soon as I possibly can.
Thank you, thank you, thank you for you continued support and patience. I hope that the most difficult days are behind us and I look forward to brighter times.
Now, who needs a massage? I know I do. 😊

Phew!! We made it. 2020 was a rough year for all of us and I'm glad to see it in my rearview. I am looking forward to 2021 and seeing everyone in person again.
I was planning on trying to open this week, but unfortunately it looks like I'll have to stay closed for a bit longer as we wait for our region to relax back to Tier 2 mitigations.
To clarify, back on November 20th, our region moved to Tier 3 and massage is only allowed as deemed necessary by a medical provider, such as a physician, physical therapist, chiropractor, or someone who has prescribing authority. And yes, I have seen other non-medical massage place open and I'm not sure how they are operating. I will not risk my license and will stay closed until given clearance to move to Tier 2. So I am just going to take things in two week increments going forward. I am watching the metrics closely and as soon as I get the go ahead, I will reopen.
Thank you for your patience. There may be a lot of rescheduling going on for the next several weeks (maybe months, but hopefully not) so please hang tight. Of course, all other safety measures will continue once I reopen, including wearing of a mask during the entire massage session.
Cheers to a Happy & Healthy New Year!

Effective this Friday, 11/20, I am required by the state to shut down my office in order to comply with the new mitigation requirements to combat the surge of COVID-19 in Illinois. I do not know when this shut down will end, but I plan on closing down until the new year.
DON'T WORRY!!
Please know that I have been preparing for another shut down ever since I reopened back in July. While it is not ideal, I am prepared, and my vision for my business is long term. I am so incredibly grateful to have a loyal client base that has kept me busy and fully booked for the past several months (and years).
I look forward to booking everyone for January and February of 2021. It's not as far away as it seems and I think we're all ready to be done with this year and look forward the possibility of progress and a fresh outlook.
If you have any questions, need help with booking, or just want to say hi please feel free to text me, email me, or send me a message from my website. I'll have plenty of time on my hands to respond now.

A reminder of my new policies and procedures.
- Masks are required to be properly worn before entering building, during your entire appointment (yes, even when face down), and until you leave the building
I AM MASK SERIOUS
- All linens, including blankets, are changed between every client.
- Treatment room, bathroom, hallway, and entryway are cleaned and sanitized between every client. Some of these areas are common areas shared with other businesses in the building, but I do my best to sanitize those.
- 30 to 60+ minutes between clients.
- Medical grade HEPA air filter in treatment room along with fans ventilation in windows.
- Temperature checks upon arrival and COVID screening questionnaire for every visit.
* Do not come in if you have any symptoms of COVID-19 or have been in contact ( in the past 14 days) with someone who had been diagnosed.
** Do not come in if you “kinda feel fine” but aren’t sure, or if you are awaiting test results. Let’s not risk it - We can reschedule.

What that means...
Upgrades & Other Changes
Please, please, please be patient with me. I’m balancing new regulations, schedule adjustments, virus concerns, and childcare and family needs. This may be a bit of a bumpy ride as I try to reopen and get everything back on track, but I’ll so excited to open again.
Much Love to Everyone and Thank You for Your Continued Support!
What that means...
- Please be patient. I will resume massage appointments on July 1st, but will be limiting my hours as I slowly ease back into things.
- Clients with re-occurring appointment times will still keep their appointments. Package and Gift Certificate clients will get priority.
- Masks will be required to be properly worn before entering building and during the entire massage session, and are not to be removed until after leaving the building.
- As of this point in IL Stage 3 reopening, appointments are limited to 30 minutes. I am hoping this will change by July 1st and am booking longer appointments, but please be aware that this may change in order to maintain compliance. Please do not ask for a special exemption as it threatens my license, insurance coverage, and my entire business.
- My waiting area is now my treatment room. This is to help increase airflow and lower the risk of airborne pathogens and fumes from chemical cleaners. The room will not be as dark or quiet as usual but I’m working on getting it as conformable and cozy as possible.
- New consent forms will be electronically sent out before appointment.
Upgrades & Other Changes
- Medical grade HEPA air filtration system will be run between clients and possibly during session.
- Complete sanitization of table and all surfaces between appointments.
- Masks worn by both myself and the client.
- No contact payment will be taken through secure Square link.
Please, please, please be patient with me. I’m balancing new regulations, schedule adjustments, virus concerns, and childcare and family needs. This may be a bit of a bumpy ride as I try to reopen and get everything back on track, but I’ll so excited to open again.

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
