Mask Policy

Masks are required for entry to our building, and in all public areas at all times. Please bring an N95, KN95, or equivalent to your appointment. If you cannot, one will be provided for you. 


By mutual agreement, therapist and/or client may remove masks inside the private treatment rooms only. Please be respectful of your therapist’s preference, and default to staying masked if there is disagreement between parties. 


If it is very important for you to be unmasked during your session for health or other reasons, please contact us in advance of your session to be sure your therapist is comfortable with the decision.

Cleanliness & Disease Prevention

We take the utmost care with maintaining a healthy and clean environment. We are confident that our procedures are keeping us safe from the spread of COVID-19 and other contagions. 


Here are a few of the key aspects of our procedures:

• All touched surfaces are sanitized between every client session.

• Therapists’ hands are always freshly washed before contact.

• Hand sanitizer is available for therapists and clients in every room.

• HEPA-grade filters are always running in every treatment room. 


If you have specific questions regarding our cleanliness procedures, please contact info@metta-wellness.com.

Vaccination

Though we adhere to cautious and strict COVID precautions, proof of vaccination is not required for clients or therapists. We understand that individuals have varying needs and tolerances with regards to vaccination, and so we ask everyone to adhere to careful cleaning protocols, our mask policy, and generally respectful behavior regarding contagions. 


If you would like to know whether your massage therapist is vaccinated against COVID-19, the flu, or any other illness, please email info@metta-wellness.com. Some of our therapists have elected to share this information with clients upon request. 

Tipping

Our therapists gratefully accept tips on any service. Tips of 15%-25% are standard, and may be paid by Credit Card or Cash. Most of our therapists also accept tip via Venmo or other cashless apps.

Pediatric Services

Minors must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. Under 16 may choose to be alone in the room, but the guardian must remain in the building. If you are scheduling for a child under 12, please contact us in advance. Not all therapists will work with minors. Text 443-720-0033 or email info@metta-wellness.com
