COVID Policy

I have undiagnosed long-term fatigue, which means that:

I will not practice during symptoms and might have to cancel last minute. For this you will be re-imbursed or you can choose to leave credit for a different session.

If you develop any symptoms, please let me know prior to your session, as we might have to re-arrange it for another time.

Need more information?

Please contact me on mara-somatics@mailbox.org
