COVID-19 Guidelines for Re-Opening

Update: February 28, 2022

We are so excited to announce that masks are no longer required in our clinic!!

Some of our staff may choose to continue to wear masks, as we know some of our clients will too. If you prefer that the staff member you are working with wear a mask, please ask!

Update: January 5, 2022

In accordance with the Current Public Health Order in Denver, we require all staff, clients, and patients to wear a face mask at all times in our clinic, including during treatment.

Please reschedule your appointment if you begin to show symptoms of Covid-19 or have been in close contact with someone who recently tested positive until symptoms improve and/or you have a negative Covid test result. If you show up to our clinic with symptoms, we reserve the right to cancel your appointment and reschedule for another day.

We are also asking staff to not come into work if they are showing symptoms which may result in appointments being cancelled. If your appointment is cancelled due to staff illness, we will do our best to re-book you as soon as possible.

Thank you for your patience and understanding as we figure this out together.

Update: August 30, 2021

• All Moyer Total Wellness staff will continue to wear face masks at all times while in the office, regardless of vaccination status.
• If you are not fully vaccinated, we ask that you continue to wear a face mask the entire time you are in our office, including during your treatment.
• If you are fully vaccinated, we still encourage you to wear a face mask, however, if you would like to remove your mask during your massage, you can have that conversation with your massage therapist.

Update: July 5, 2021

Beginning today, July 5, we will no longer require fully vaccinated clients and staff to wear a mask in our clinic.

Some of our staff will continue to wear masks as we know some of our clients will too.

Please keep in mind that these changes are not only put in place by our office to keep staff and clients safe, but they have also been put in place in accordance with the Safer at Home Executive Order (D 2020 044) and the Public Health Order 20-28. We must stay compliant with strict state orders to remain open.

What You Need to Know Before Your Next Appointment

• Clients are required to wear at least a face mask or cloth covering at all times while in our office.

This is in compliance with the Colorado Safer-at-Home Order.
