Should I Cancel If I’m Sick?

Short Answer: Yes.
Longer Answer: Yes, please—and here’s why.

Massage is amazing. You know it, I know it. But when you’re under the weather, it’s not always the right time.

Why Cancel?

Your body needs rest.
Massage is therapeutic, but it’s not passive. It activates your body’s systems—and when you’re sick, that energy should go toward healing, not processing bodywork.

It won’t feel good.
That warm, cozy massage table may sound dreamy, but the moment your stuffy head hits the face cradle, you’ll regret it. Gravity is not your friend when you’re congested. Even a great sinus massage won’t fix that.

You might get me sick.
Most viruses are contagious even before symptoms show up. If I catch what you’ve got, I may unknowingly pass it to others—or have to cancel appointments while I recover. No sick pay, no backup staff—just lost time and income. Let’s avoid that, shall we?

So it’s a deal:
You cancel when you're sick, and I’ll do the same. We'll look out for each other.

When to Cancel

Please cancel if:

• You’ve had nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea in the past 24 hours.
• You’ve had a fever (or chills, aches, or serious fatigue) in the past 24 hours—even if you’re taking medicine.
• You’re sneezing, itchy, or runny-nosed, and it’s not definitely allergies.
• You’re coughing frequently.
• Someone in your household is ill and you’re starting to feel “off.”

Still unsure?

If you're recovering or on the fence, give me a call. We'll decide together.

Let’s keep each other safe and healthy—so your next massage feels as good as it should.
