Devine Hands in the Shutdown

Looking around, I do not know anyone whose life has not been changed by the current situation. Rolling with the punches, I looked toward technology to see what direction to take. For a long time one of my goals has been to produce online content that provides information regarding self-treatment, repatterning, and empowerment. That began to take shape in the form of a couple videos that you can find on the Devine Hands YouTube channel. What a learning experience! I had a lot of fun and frustration and discovered many ways that I can and need to grow in the direction of audio/video production. Much time was also spent in books and listening to interviews about healing the self through epigenetics, higher consciousness, and raising our frequencies. I look forward to sharing information with you individually if you wish. You know I don’t have a problem with talking about empowerment. Getting me to stop talking is the real challenge.

Getting Back on Track

First and foremost, YOU are the one who gets to decide when it is time to schedule your next appointment. If you are not ready to come out and receive a massage, please do not! The goal for Devine Hands has been to hit the ground running as we come out of this shutdown. If you are ready, let’s get back to it. There will be a few adjustments going forward and until further notice. On DevineHandsMassageTherapy.com/services you can find new policies and procedures that are posted in response to the current public health situation. Also, we have a new Client Awareness Waiver that will need to be reviewed and signed before your next appointment. In the past, massages have been scheduled with a 10-minute turn around between appointments. In this time, we need to ensure cleaning of all surfaces, changing of the table linens, and resetting the room for the next appointment. Sometimes this has resulted in the schedule getting a little off track. Going forward, this time will be extended to 30 minutes between appointments to ensure adequate cleaning time without running behind. This should provide more than enough turnaround time. In addition, our new extended hours will be 9am-5pm Monday and Wednesday-Saturday. As always Devine Hands has used Citrus II, a hospital grade cleaner for all surfaces and will soon be adding UVC light sanitizing (which is used in hospital surgical sanitation) to the regiment. When you come to your appointment, it is currently required that you wait in the parking lot and send a text to 912-541-0589 after you arrive. You need to wear a mask and will be entering the building through the side door toward the back of Savannah Avenue Salon. Thank you for your understanding. We are anxious and ready to get back to work!

Where Is Your Focus?

When doing the outline for this newsletter, I typed up the header for this section and then walked away for a day because of a bad case of writers’ block. Today, coming back to finish and send this out to you, I have no idea what was intended for this section. Maybe it was just a note to myself because it was such a BAD focus day (I lost my shoes 3 times and one of those times they were on my feet :D). Honestly, there have been a lot of days where it has been tough to focus lately. Perhaps this has been a universal feeling with all the uncertainty floating around. A consistent lesson in our home is that it is most important to do the right thing when it is the hardest. Focus on the future has been VERY hard since early March, but we have had to put our money where our mouths are and focus up when it is hardest to do so. The future of Devine Hands is nothing without a sound future for Statesboro. With this in mind, we have been focusing a little more than usual on spending our dollars at local food establishments and utilizing local delivery companies. There has also been a lot of energy going toward envisioning the future growth of Devine Hands, which will likely utilize in house produced guided meditation used during scheduled treatments and many other exciting things. I can’t wait to serve you better! I hope you have been able to find your focus in these different times.

Local Business Highlight

In the light of the recent shutdown I have not reached out to any particular local business to be highlighted. It is hard to narrow it down when so many of our neighbors have been broadly affected by a severe loss of revenue. Furthermore, many of you may still feel the need to limit contact with the outside world. With that in mind, please support any local business you can. There are many ways you can do this, CORE Credit Union has a “Pay it Forward” program, Whitfield Signs has put together an “On and Open” promotion for gift certificates, and Grice Connect has a list of businesses that are open. I am sure that these are only a few of the ways to support local Statesboro. Devine Hands has and will continue to post this type of information on social media. We are all in this together, thank you for helping to keep Statesboro strong through this challenge.

Things to Always Keep in Mind

Your appointment is all about you.

If you want me to change ANYTHING during your appointment, please tell me. If it is possible, it will be made perfect for you.

You should have

• The right pressure
• The right music
• The right amount of warmth

If the treatment you are receiving doesn’t feel right to you, I can change what I am doing. So, please communicate with me.

I love to share educational information, if you have questions please ask. We can look for answers together.

If you refer a friend, and that friend comes to see me, I would like to show my appreciation by offering you an essential oil add-on to a future appointment.

Devine Hands is on social media. Please follow comings and goings on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and LinkedIn.

If you have questions between sessions, don’t hesitate to call/text @ 912-541-0589, email Don@DevineHandsMassageTherapy.com, reach out through social media, or ask when we run into each other in town.

Most of all, please remember that I am grateful that you allow me to be a part of your healing journey.
