So, How Close Is Too Close

Since the “re-opening of economy” is going on here and there, I want to keep you informed on how my decision for reopening my practice will be shaped.

The following Qs should be informing mine and your decision regardless of governor’s permission to reopen :

How has our community and state been affected? 

What is the level of testing in your/my community? 

Who is at home, and how vulnerable are they should they become infected? 

What is the physical and psychological cost of reopening my practice?

So how close is too close?

You have seen the animated illustration on how cough droplets’ travel  in air.

You have seen CDC and WHO’s guidance and even your own Governor’s orders mandating 6 feet distance to ensure safety.

You have seen proofs of contact with different surfaces being an ultimate way of transmission.

You have seen it all.

So, how about skin contact?

You KNOW how to touch you is impossible at 6, 3 or even 1 foot distance.

You also know that when I work on your organs (through visceral manipulations)- I’m about 8-10 inches IN your body...

Of course, I can use reiki, energy healing, Zoom but Touch is indispensable. 

And since those of you who ventured to zoom sessions are only 16% of my patients’ list, I know touch must be not just an option for you but an absolute need.

I am convinced it’s still too early to supply you and myself as subjects for this reopening experiment. It will be soon but not before end of May, when we together will re-evaluate.

Until then, please:

😷 read how we will experience the”new normal” at  reopening bellow;

    1. Have you had a fever in the last 24 hours of 100°F or above? 

       2. Have you had any Covid19 related tests ?

3. Do you now, or have you recently had, any respiratory or flu symptoms, sore throat, or shortness of breath? 

4. Have you been in contact with anyone in the last 14 days who has been diagnosed with COVID-19 or has coronavirus-type symptoms? 

I will do the same for you ! CHECK YOUR TEXT MESSAGES and emails  IN THE DAY and HOUR BEFORE YOUR APPOINTMENT FOR COMMUNICATIONS!  

6. Talk on the table” will be limited to feedback related to what’s going on in your body-Mind, at the moment - as always.

You know I am heart broken from not being able to see you in person! But our health has been my top priority. 

At this moment, there is no proven way to prevent transmission at close contact . 

I trust we will invent it SOON , and we will be able to be together soon, if we follow safety measures informed by science . 

These are 2 (not very short) videos of Self-Manual lymph drainage for head and face .

They are based on principles of MLD from Foldi, Voder and Chickly schools of manual lymph drainage.

The method is super, super easy, super light and super fun.

And the effect - gorgeous radiant face and mind.

The guidance, oh boy, it killed me to limit myself to 25 min ... but it’s a pure gift of my love to you ♥️

There is another instructional video for using Ayurvedic and Tibetan Medicine Lymph drainage using oils and marma points waiting for my next newsletter .

Stay tuned
