We work extremely hard at keeping our clinic pristine, and our clients and staff safe. As the health climate continues to evolve, so do the standards of health and safety at Yoga Mamas.
When we re-opened our wellness clinic in May 2020 during stage 2, we created three new wellness treatment rooms. These new rooms provide our clients with extra space and air circulation around them during their wellness appointments, they allow practitioners to switch between treatment rooms during the day so rooms have more free time in between appointments, and also overall creates more distance between our practitioners in the centre. Yoga Mamas now has a total of 10 wellness treatment rooms. These rooms are cleaned by a professional cleaning service every morning. In addition to this, our wellness practitioners and team members follow a documented cleaning process in between each appointment using HEALTH CANADA AUTHORIZED disinfectant. Our common areas are also disinfected on a scheduled and documented basis every 30 minutes every day. Employee and client safety is genuinely our number one priority every hour of every day. Please do not hesitate to reach out to us with any questions. Our front desk team will be happy to walk you through our various protocols. |
