Updated: June 2022

New COVID-19 policy: Clients must postpone massage for 10 days after receiving a positive covid-19 test. If symptoms are still present after 10 days, then clients must wait to reschedule after all symptoms are gone. If a client lives in a household with anyone testing positive, it is advised that they postpone massage therapy for ten days in order to test for infection.

Mask wearing is up to the client's discretion and is not required during massages.

The owner of North Shore Integrated Massage (Sonia Beauchamp, LMT) is currently wearing either a N-95 or KN-95 mask during all services. If your appointment is with another provider, they may have a different mask policy.

Please check before booking if this is a concern.

Sanitization Procedures

All porous surfaces of the massage table are covered with waterproof safety lining that is thoroughly disinfected between each client. As an added precaution, we line the face cradle with a disinfected, non-porous waterproof cover. We use hospital grade cleaning products. We also operate a Honeywell HEPA filtration system in our treatment room.

Mahalo! Your safety is our priority.

"One Oahu" Required COVID-19 Screening

~~This screening measure is required under the "One Oahu" reopening strategy to prevent the spread of COVID-19. The form can either be text messaged or emailed the night before your appointment.~~

For your safety:

"If a service provider or client/customer answers “yes” to questions 1-3, they should not provide or receive services at the Provider’s facility. Providers may provide services to those clients/customers who answer “yes” to questions 4 and 5."

This data will be maintained for a minimum of 28 days and it is required to be given to State and City health officials upon request.

Do you now, or have you had in the past fourteen (14) days any of the following: A cough or sore throat? Fever or do you feel feverish? Shortness of breath? Loss of taste or smell?
Are you currently subject to any COVID-19 related quarantine?
Have you had close personal/physical contact with or cared for someone diagnosed with or tested positive for COVID-19?

Mask Policy

We follow the city and county's required guidelines for your safety. ~~This means that masks must be worn at all times by both the provider and the massage recipient. We are not able to waive this requirement for any reason. Mahalo for helping us keep the community safe!~~

Sanitization Procedures

All porous surfaces of the massage table are covered with waterproof safety lining that is thoroughly disinfected between each client. The face cradle is also fully disinfected with care. As an added safety precaution, we line the cradle with a new non-porous waterproof cover under the normal cloth cover for each client. We take our sanitization procedures very seriously.

Safe Access Oahu:

Starting September 13, 2021, the City and County of Honolulu's "Safe Access Oahu" program requires all guests 12 years of age and older to provide proof of an approved COVID-19 full vaccination or approved negative COVID-19 test taken within 48 hours of entry, along with valid picture identification, to enter businesses that offer recreational and entertainment commercial activities.

~~We will need to verify proof of negative covid test or vaccination via text, email, QR code, or physical copy. Mahalo!~~

Although the language used in the mandate is vague, we are adopting this procedure along with many other massage therapists on Oahu. Once the state board of massage therapy and/or the Hawaii chapter of the AMTA makes an official statement, we may update our policy based on their assessment.
