Reopening for In-Person Sessions

Our Reopening Plans for In-Person Sessions
As things stand now, according to medical advice we have received, we plan to open our office for in-person sessions in the first week of June 2020. We will reopen with enhanced infection control procedures in place and are accepting appointments now.
We assume that some clients who are presently being seen online will choose to remain there. This is fine. We have a long and successful history of online work and it is completely effective.
We have invested in new online technology and are enhancing our online offerings. It is now possible to experience your hypnotic induction in real time over Zoom, FaceTime or phone, as well has continuing to receive a recorded copy for later use.
As we have always worked with medical cases, we have always had infection-control procedures in place (generous use of hand sanitizer, frequent hand-washing and use of sanitizing wipes for all equipment, doorknobs and fixtures). These are enhanced in the following ways:
Sessions are scheduled with a fifteen minute buffer so clients will not meet each other in the waiting area.
All in-person clients are asked to sanitize their hands upon arrival, are screened with a forehead thermoscan device, and have blood oxygen levels checked with a clip-on oximeter.
Drs. Bates and Giles wear face masks during client hours.
Clients are required to wear face masks during sessions. If you do not have a mask we provide a disposable mask of high quality.
The trance chair and reiki table are sanitized between every client using environmentally friendly, hypoallergenic products.
The client restroom is sanitized using an EPA-approved virucide and disinfectant.
Handshaking is not be permitted.
Obviously, we will adjust the above as needed to respond to any changes from the Centers for Disease Control or the Governor.
