Regarding the impact of COVID-19

In the year 2020, our lives have had to be altered fundamentally.
It’s such broken-hearted phenomenon, but I’m wishing all of you are staying healthy and strong from my heart.

Shoko Massage Therapy Studio is now reopen since September 7th!

  1. When you come here, please ring the bell as usual, but if you don’t feel like touching the bell, please text me when you arrive. I’ll come to the door and open it for you.
  2. When you enter the studio, I will spray alcohol on the sole part of your shoes. So that you don’t have to take off your shoes when you come in the room. Also, a contactless thermometer and an oximeter to check your condition are ready. I’d appreciate if you could cooperate with me.
  3. The room is equipped with an air purifier with the True HEPA filter and UV light. Also the whole room is sterilized and cleaned completely with the disinfectant which is approved by the EPA and CDC.
  4. Since at the end of August, I’ve been taking PCR tests every 2 weeks.
  5. I wear a mask and goggle(or a face shield) at all times, so please don’t laugh at me.
  6. During the session, when you turn over your position, I need you to wear a mask as well according to the NY state regulations.. I have extra disposable masks, so please let me know if you need it.
  7. There’s a protocol posted from the Anthroposophy group (who is my landlord) when you go to the bathroom. (Talks about the hygiene) Please read.

I’ll try a session with you as safe and sound as possible. All you can do is that you can come as you always do.

If you have further questions or comments, please feel free to let me know. I may still be missing something, so I’ll appreciate if you let me know.

Thank you so much! I love you New York!
