COVID-19 protocols, updated 3/30/2021
We're still working hard, implementing abundant precautions at the office. Obviously, the experience of visiting us will be a little different than pre-COVID. Please take a sec to review the following.
what we ask of you
If you've tested positive, been in contact with someone who tested positive, or traveled from outside the US or a hot spot, you must quarantine for 10 days. You may shorten quarantine to 7 days if you test negative at least 5 days after exposure. We also ask you to refrain from booking with us if you've been in close contact, unmasked, with unvaccinated folks outside your COVID pod.
All clients and staff must wear a face mask over their nose and mouth in the office at all times, including during your massage... even if you're vaccinated! No vented masks, bandanas, or gaiters. You'll sanitize your hands upon entry. With the exception of guardians accompanying minors being massaged, no guests or family members will be allowed in the office during your massage at this time (sorry).
Get ready to answer our COVID questions by reviewing them here. We do not charge for sick cancels, but please call to cancel if you're feeling unwell.
Be prepared to pay with a card, exact cash, or a pre-written check. Or, PRE-PAYMENT is great. We won't be making cash change.
By making a massage appointment, you accept the risk of COVID-19 transmission, regardless of abundant precautions taken by West Side Wellness, LLC. By making a massage appointment, you consent to your contact info being shared with the Department of Health should a need for COVID-19 contact tracing arise. We pledge to inform you if that is the case. If you have health conditions that increase the risk of COVID-19 severity, please consult with your physician prior to receiving a massage, and please inform your massage therapist of these health conditions.

what we're doing
We're doing everything we can think of to reduce the risk of virus transmission. We're implementing a strict client screening process. Most of us have gotten the COVID vaccine! Everyone working at WSW is trained in cleaning protocol, virus transmission, and PPE.
We installed an ionic, germ-killing device in our HVAC system. Plus, each treatment room has a HEPA/UV air cleaner. Last summer, we divided the big room into two treatment rooms and a waiting alcove! Now we have two separate waiting areas, plus, for the duration of the pandemic, we'll have a dedicated clean linen room (no more folding sheets on the couch).
Sheets and blankets are laundered with extra cleaning agents. We change aprons between clients. We're sanitizing the heck out of the treatment room after every session, and sanitizing the common areas and bathrooms during the day. Floors are mopped with bleach. We'll do your talking, paying, and rescheduling all within the treatment room, instead of in the common areas.

taking care
We're collectively living through unprecedented distress, grief, upheaval, and evolution. For many, 2020 has been traumatic. You may start to process this stressful time once you get on our table. For your sake and ours, we did internal training on working with severe stress and trauma in clients.
We look forward to welcoming you back. We'll be holding space for you and hundreds of others. This is what we do: we invite stored physical and emotional pain to release itself from the body. We help healing happen.

what's in a name?
West Side Wellness is located in the historic West End of Providence; we love this vibrant neighborhood, but we also acknowledge our role in gentrification of a Black/POC community. Additionally, our office occupies stolen Narragansett/Wampanoag land. So, we strive to work against internal and external racism. And there's always more work to do.

"After many years of serious back pain, I visited West Side Wellness and after a few short weeks, the pain is nearly gone! The skill and knowledge of the folks at WSW has allowed me to finally have pain free days and nights."
"West Side Wellness is kind of a magical place... They possess the secrets of an alchemy that turns knotted ropes of muscle into glorious, golden functionality."
"The studio is beautiful; the atmosphere is quiet, calming, and I always appreciate the mellowing scent there as well as the particular sounds: from the music... to the sound of rain on the rooftop. This is a very special place."
