After much tough deliberation, I have made the decision to temporarily close my doors. Those of you that know me well know that this was an incredibly hard decision, though I feel a necessary one to help slow the spread of COVID-19. Helping others on their healing journeys is my passion, and being a hands-on agent of healing who can’t do hands-on healing right now is devastating.

The temporary closure will be re-evaluated at the end of March, at which time I will decide - based off what’s going on locally with the pandemic - whether reopening my doors would be safe. The absolute last thing I want to do is unknowingly spread the virus to my clients; I care about you all too much.
If you would still like to support me during this time, I do offer Distance Energy Healing sessions. I also have gift certificates, massage packages, and MFR packages that can be purchased now for use at a later time.

Please stay safe and as healthy as you can, everyone. Stay hydrated. Wash your hands. Reach out to your family, friends, neighbors, acquaintances. I’ll be posting live videos from my personal and business Facebook pages to help lighten the mood a little, to do what I can to bring you another type of healing. If I can’t figure out how to screen share in Facebook Like videos, I may start hosting Zoom meetings so we can all still be social while at the same time practicing social distancing and being in various levels of isolation and quarantine.

I love you. Stay safe.

The John F. Barnes' Myofascial Release Approach® is a hands-on healing modality that I have become very passionate about, and I believe that all my clients - current and future - can benefit from this gentle yet powerful technique.  Many of my clients have already experience great healing through Myofascial Release, and as such it has become clear to me that it is time to offer packages of MFR sessions, just as I do for massages.  You can take advantage of significant savings by pre-purchasing multiple Myofascial Release sessions together, and will have these sessions on your account to book at your convenience.  Please visit the Myofascial Release page for more information and details.

To purchase a Myofascial Release package, please contact me at (716) 396-0060.

Kristina N. Murray, LMT, and Ouroboros Massage want to respect the health and well-being of all clients and guests. As a healthcare professional, I am following strict CDC guidelines for the Coronavirus outbreak and ask for you to keep in mind this series of questions that are Health Care Industry standards before coming into your appointment:

1) In the last 14 days, have you or anyone you have been in contact with felt ill, are currently sick, or been sick with any of the following:

• Flu like symptoms
• Sneezing
• Coughing
• Stomach ache/pain/stomach flu
• Fever

2) Have you used any public transportation; i.e. airplane, taxi, bus, subway, ride share (Uber, Lyft) etc. in the last 2 weeks?
3) Have you or anyone close to you, i.e. within your household, been out of the country or state in the last 2 weeks?

If any of the above questions resonate with you, I ask that you kindly reschedule your appointment for a minimum of 21 days (incubation period) after your currently scheduled appointment.

Please give as much notice as possible if you need to reschedule, but as stated in the previous post I have suspended my late cancellation policy for the time being so as to not penalize clients who have suddenly found that they are ill or uncomfortable traveling in the current atmosphere.

I will also be asking all clients to wash their hands upon arrival, for both their safety and mine.  Failure to comply may result in cancellation of the scheduled appointment.

Thank you for your cooperation and understanding.

Ouroboros Massage is committed to keeping clients healthy and happy during their healing journeys, and I wanted to share what I’m doing in response to any concerns my clients may have about the Coronavirus and my healing studio. Aside from normal healthcare profession protocols (hand washing, fresh sheets for each client, etc.), the following cleaning and sanitizing precautions have been instituted:

• All door handles and light switches that clients may come into contact with will be wiped down between each client. This includes the front door, bathroom door and switch, and massage studio door and switch, and the stairway railing.
• The bathroom counter and toilet, and the massage studio chairs and countertop will be wiped down between each client.
• As always, clean sheets are used for each client. The table covers and living room chairs will also be sprayed down and cleaned with an alcohol mixture between clients.
• Thieves essential oil, which was already being used for cold/flu season, will continue to be used in the diffuser until further notice/while supply lasts.
• There are six different types of soap in the bathroom for clients to use (I know, a little overkill), as well as a roll of paper towels to dry hands with. Clients are still welcome to dry their hands with the hand towel, but I thought giving the option of one-use paper towels would also be a good idea during this time. An extra trash can is now available in the bathroom in front of the sink to throw away used paper towels.
  

For the time being, I am suspending my White Glove Luxury Service and Chair Massage services. As I can only guarantee cleaning and sanitizing protocols within my home studio, I believe it is within my clients’ and my best interest not to travel to client locations so that we can all stay healthy and stop the potential spread of germs/coronavirus before it starts.

I am also suspending my late cancellation policy for the time being. It is not my desire to penalize clients who may have to cancel or reschedule appointments due to finding out they are ill. Please help me keep my space and all my clients as healthy as possible by rescheduling or canceling your appointment if you have any symptoms of illness, COVID-19 or otherwise.

I am committed to doing my part in keeping my clients as healthy as possible during this time, and I am continually honored to be your chosen and trusted massage and Myofascial Release therapist.

If you are worried about going out but would still like to support me and my small business, gift certificates are available! Purchase one for yourself or for others by calling (716) 396-0060 or emailing [email protected]. I can make up a PDF version and email it to you for you to use at a future date.

Please, stay as healthy as you can. Wash your hands, hydrate, and get plenty of rest. Practice social distancing if necessary.  We can get through this together.
