What’s New at Haven
Some new art for the front room.
It’s been so great working on how we do things here. So, this is some of what we’ve accomplished.
Email Reminders and Texts
You might have received an email listing your upcoming appointments at Haven. We are slowly adding all your appointments to Acuity so that you will receive reminders. You will receive a reminder email two days before your appointment and a text one day before. If you get a text reminder and do not want them, just reply STOP, and it should not send any text reminders after that. Please let me know if you don’t want any reminders and are unable to stop them. I am still figuring all this out and will do all I can to reduce notifications that you do not want. Conversely, let me know if you would like reminders and are not receiving them.
Online Intake Forms
I am excited to update your information in the new system. We’re using a HIPAA-compliant plan, so your information is protected.
To fill out our intake form, select “Cancel/Change Appointment” on your confirmation email. Select “Edit Info” on the far right, fill in your information, read, and agree to our waiver, and then you are all set!
Shoe Rack and Umbrella Bin
It’s the little things, too! Some of you have noticed a new wood rack in the front room by the door. Lisa and I both like to work barefoot, so I’m happy for us to have a designated place for our shoes. If you don’t mind taking your shoes off when you enter, you can keep them there. The bench is sturdy enough to sit on. It is totally optional to remove your shoes when entering. I know there are many good reasons you may want to keep them on until you're in the room and ready for your massage. Next to the shoe rack, I now have a place to hold soggy umbrellas. :D
They’re more than birds, they’re here to hold your coats and jackets.
Birdies
Some birds have decided to hang out at Haven in a few rooms. They are not just cute but very functional. Feel free to use them to hang clothes and bags on. They can take it.
Puzzle Box
Next to the front door is a box that contains puzzles for you to borrow. I have found puzzles to be very therapeutic and one more way to add play into my life.
Refreshments
We now have a fridge in the office that has canned water and seltzers for your enjoyment. Feel free to grab one to go or enjoy in the front room after your massage.
New Art
I am thrilled to have one of David Spratte’s photos on our wall in the front room. It’s a metal print that gives the leaves and path an extra magical quality.
The print on the intersecting wall is an original screen-print design created by David and Emily at HALO 22. The layers capture the depth of the massage experience here at Haven. The message celebrates why you are at Haven in the first place. It’s also a good reminder to me, and hopefully to my clients, to make time to get out in nature or simply rest, play, or create something.
Online Scheduling
When Haven adds more awesome therapists, you will be able to access online scheduling through the website. Lisa and I are booked up, so there won’t be much online scheduling available with us. However, there should be availability with other therapists in the next few months. I will send out an introduction when we add another therapist and let you know about their availability. More to come!
