I've been wanting to post an update on my page about when I will be back to work, but to be honest I don't have one.... although massage therapists have been given the go ahead to start back to work, the YMCA is still waiting for the go ahead before they begin the reopening process. (Which means I don't have a place to work!) So, since I don't have an update about work I'll update you on what I've been doing to keep busy! 1. I started a bottle depot at Koertland Auto out in ...Fullerton. So basically rather than standing in line at the beer store to return your empties, you can bring them to me and still get paid!!! 2. I took a leap of faith and moved out of my first home. I've officially became a landlord and moved out into the country. 3. My veggie garden is in full bloom. I also planted way too many zucchinis and will soon be swimming in them! 4. My new place has tons of space so I've been working on my 6th flower bed and I'm currently on the hunt for more hostas. So if you need to split your hostas..... Message me!!!! 5. I now am a proud mother of 14 chickens. They are all named and I love them dearly. ...... I truly do wish I had more answers in this time of uncertainty. However I'm choosing to make the most of life right now! I'm enjoying the little things, enjoying the weather and doing my best to touch base with all my friends and family. I'm learning to love myself and make the most out of each day! I'm sorry that this may not be the post your looking for if you're in need of a massage, but I hope you are all staying safe and healthy! Talk soon!

UPDATE! May 28th 2020 Hello friends! With recent news coming up regarding Massage Therapy businesses being able to slowly resume business I thought I would give everyone an update from my end of things. The government and my college have given us the go ahead to SLOWLY start to resume business on an essential basis. This means that clients who's health or function would be considerably declined (or lead to hospitalization)with out massage therapy would be able to receive tr...eatment. That being said treatments must also comply with the Governments Operational Requirements - Health Sector Restart; as well as the COVID 19 Pandemic - Practice Guidance for Massage Therapists. Both of these involve longer amounts of time between appointments to properly sanitize and disinfect, as well as both my self and clients to be wearing a disposable mask during treatments. Another factor that I have to take into consideration is that we do not have a reopen date for my place of work at the Stratford YMCA as of yet. Which also puts a hold on me being able to provide treatments right now. I know this is a tough time for many people, myself included. I hope you all can please understand that I am doing my best to come up with a future plan given these new guidelines AND as soon as I am able to provide treatment safely I will be happy to! For the time being I will not be taking appointment requests, as I do not have a business plan in place that adheres to the new regulations. Keep an eye on my Facebook page for future updates Stay Safe and Healthy !

I realized today that I have been a little quiet with an update with regards to future appointment bookings. As of April 1st the Stratford YMCA sent out this notice to inform us that we are still unsure as to when we will be reopening :(. This pandemic has ran me through all emotions; Ive had productive days and Ive had lazy days.... Regardless of how much I accomplish every day, I am thankful for my health. ... I can not wait for all of this to clear up and all of this will just be one big memory! I hope you all are staying safe and healthy with your loved ones! I will see you all soon!

I absolutely reading my daily horoscope.... This one gave me a good laugh
