HandWritten's COVID / Monkeypox Response

Staying clean is nothing new to HandWritten Massage & Wellness. Sanitation is our thing and one of our top priorities. This is what we do.

However, in the wake of the current health crisis with COVID - 19 in the state of Maryland and across the nation, we strive to keep our clientele and staff safe, while also keeping everyone information and awareness. Please take note of the policies and announcements noted on this page and in your booking instructions.

Here’s what we have been and will continue to do moving forward:

Deep cleaning will take place at the studio, prior to opening, and after each client session, as well as before closing. As always rooms will be prepared with fresh clean linen and face cradle cover.

All tools, surfaces, equipment and any materials that may come into contact with the therapist or client will be cleaned/sanitized/disinfected. 

Therapist will wash their hands, wear protective gear and change gloves and linen between clients. 

New clients are advised to fill out in-take forms about their personal health prior to session.

If the therapist is under the weather, they are directed to stay home. The client will be contacted to make arrangements about rescheduling. 

PLEASE NOTE: Clients are expected to practice cleanliness and safety before and after you visiting HandWritten Massage & Wellness. This is to include showering/bathing before session, washing your hands prior to and after session, using hand sanitizer, and properly wearing a face covering.

Due to COVID-19, we are temporarily limiting the number of daily appointments. The health and safety of our clients and staff is very important to us. For this reason, walk-in appointments will not be accepted and clients who are not currently receiving a service will not be permitted within the studio/clinic. If you are experiencing a fever, cough, or sore throat, please reschedule your appointment for when you are no longer symptomatic. If you have been to a COVID-19-impacted area or have been in close contact with a person infected with COVID-19, we ask that you please reschedule your appointment for 14 days past the date of contact. Please note, we are requesting that clients wear face coverings when they arrive for their appointments. Client and/or therapist will be asked to call if either start showing any apparent COVID-19 symptoms.

 If any symptoms of illness are present please reschedule immediately.
