Effective March 18, 2020, I am closing my massage practice.

The COVID-19 pandemic requires immediate social distancing. It’s hard to imagine a place with less social distance than a massage treatment room. With so many folks infected and asymptomatic, none of us can be sure that we aren’t carrying and spreading the disease. So as I write this on March 18, 2020, I have to close my practice for the foreseeable future.

Unfortunately, this hits at a time when I lack the financial reserves to keep my lease and maintain my practice. So, after 21 years of practice, I’m shutting down my massage business effective immediately.

As soon as it’s safe to receive massage again, my former officemate in the Medical Dental Building Lucretia Ferch may be available. She is even more experienced than me (35 years of practice) and similarly trained. I have received many massages from her, and she’s great. If the U District/Wallingford is a better location for you, my friend (and massage school classmate) Danielle Cordon is also awesome.

It has been an honor to serve you all for so long. Thanks so much for entrusting me with your care for so many years.

Wishing you and yours safety, health, and wellness in these crazy times.

Larry
