COVID-19/Coronavirus Prevention & Safety at Mind, Soul, and Self LLC

Originally published on 3/13/2020. Updated on 3/19/2020, 3/21/2020, 3/25/2020, and 4/17/2020:

Wisconsin Governor Evers banned groups of 10 or more on March 17, 2020 and then issued a ‘Safer at Home Order’ from March 25, 2020 to May 26, 2020 (or until a superseding issue is ordered). Due to these orders, as well as COVID-19 Prevention and Safety, Mind, Soul, and Self LLC, located at 1310 Wisconsin Ave in Sheboygan, WI has been closed to the public for ALL face to face appointments and classes since March 17, 2020.

The Past Life Regression Group scheduled for March 28, 2020 is postponed until June. Art, Music, and TranscenDANCE scheduled for April 4, 2020 is postponed, The Earth Day Event scheduled for April 26, 2020 is postponed and will be rescheduled at a time when public health and safety has improved. The Holistic Healing with Herbs series scheduled to start in Sheboygan on April 18th will be pushed back 2 months with the 101 class being offered when the 103 class was scheduled (June 13); thus pushing back all the scheduled herbs classes by two months. The Sheboygan Spirit Fair on May 2nd was canceled/postponed. Stay tuned for more updates.

Mind, Soul, and Self LLC will offer some events & classes LIVE STREAMING online via phone/webcam/Zoom until at least May 31, 2020. This includes the Goddess Gathering, Reiki 1 Class, Gardening 101, and 102.

Stay tuned for upcoming live online streaming Mind/Body Medicine classes, Holistic Healing with Herbs classes, Spiritual Psychology, and Advanced Chakra Balancing classes to be offered in May/June 2020 in the comfort and safety of your own home!

Due to COVID-19 PREVENTION and the ‘Safer at Home Order,‘ new individual appointments and individual classes scheduled between March 9 and May 31, 2020 will be via phone/webcam/Zoom/Skype/Email. I can do everything online/phone that I can do Face to Face.

After May 31, 2020 (or whenever Safer at Home Orders Have been lifted), if you do visit our physical space at 1310 Wisconsin Ave in Sheboygan (only open by appointment), appropriate health and safety measures have been put in place:

According to experts, social distancing and strict cleaning procedures, including frequent, thorough hand-washing and sanitizing surfaces, are necessary to help prevent the spread of coronavirus.

I am immunocompromised, so to protect both my health and your health, until further notice:

1). Clients, students, and customers will stay home if you feel under the weather, have any symptoms of infectious disease AND/OR if you have been exposed to anyone who is currently sick with any infectious disease such as the flu, a cold, respiratory illness, the coronavirus, etc; especially if you have flown on an airplane or been on a cruise (within 14 days). Please stay home. If you are sick, you absolutely need to reschedule your face to face appointment/group class/group event with me with as much notice as possible. I do not want to get sick, get my family members sick, nor have my other clients get sick. I also have elderly and immunocompromised clients. If you come in sick, you could put them at risk if their appointment is after yours or if they are in the same group or class with you. If you come in sick, I will send you home and you will be charged for the appointment/class with no refund. I will also reschedule/postpone classes, appointments, and events if I am under the weather and am symptomatic. I will notify clients as soon as possible.

2). 6+ feet of social distancing will be implemented at all times. Furniture and chairs are spaced out. No handshakes or hugs or physical contact. Let’s greet each other instead with a Namaste

3). Like always, all services and sessions must be paid in advance so we do not need to exchange money face to face.

4). All perfume, essential oil, and aromatherapy testers will be removed from my product shelves. Please do not touch any products unless you intend to purchase

5). No new face to face bodywork or energy work appointments will be offered at this time

6). No sharing or passing around of oracle cards/tarot cards. We will absolutely still do intuitive readings, but I will handle the cards

7). Extra cleaning and sanitizing at my office space. My regular cleaning schedule has been ramped up. We’re now sanitizing rooms and surfaces multiple times a day….door handles, light switches, the bathroom, tables, and all chairs/couches/futons that people sit on. The primary reason I have leather furniture in my office is so I can sanitize it more effectively than cloth or fabric furniture. I always have sanitized my furniture everyday. Now I will sanitize throughout the day between each client.

8). I encourage my clients and customers to follow these best practices:

Wash your hands frequently and thoroughly with soap and water for at least 20 seconds
Use an alcohol-based sanitizer
Avoid touching your face, mouth, nose, eyes, etc.
Keep away from others that are sick
Cover your mouth/nose if you have to cough or sneeze with a tissue and then throw it away and immediately wash your hands

9). Please bring your own hand sanitizer and tissues to use to ensure there is enough

10). I will be diffusing antibacterial and antiviral essential oils into the air in my office

11). If at any point I reschedule or postpone face to face programming or events, I will communicate that information through all means available, including email, our website, and social media. Instead of flat out canceling, I will most likely move my group classes and events online via Zoom or Skype. If either I cancel/postpone/reschedule or you cancel/reschedule due to sickness, your payments and registrations will then transfer to the online class/event/appointment or rescheduled face to face event or face to face appointment. So please be mindful that this is a possibility when registering for upcoming events and appointments.

12). I’d like to take this opportunity to remind everyone that EVERYTHING I offer face to face at my Sheboygan, WI office I also offer via telephone and online via webcam/Skype/Zoom. This includes classes, certifications, group events, consultation, intuitive readings, past life regressions, and healing appointments. Up until 2 years ago when I opened my Sheboygan office, I was primarily an online business. Even though I have an office in Sheboygan, 50% of my business is still online and via phone. Zoom is amazing! It is seriously like being in the same room as the other person. Online appointments and classes have the added perks of you being in the comfort of your own home! You do not need to drive or find parking. You do not need to be technology savvy. If you can turn on a computer and check your email, you can take an online class or do an online appointment. Its super simple…no advanced skills are needed. Click here to learn more about our online classes: https://mindsoulandself.com/about-online-classes/

I am in the process of coming up with some awesome online/phone appointment sales/specials and new online classes and events. With the number of people staying home increasing every day new online content will hopefully ease the stress of being confined and isolated at home.

Want some additional tips to keep yourself healthy and well? (Please note, these are not protection or a cure in the event of exposure).

Check out immunomodulant mushrooms like Chaga, Reishi, Turkey Tail, and Lion’s Mane AND herbal adaptogens like astralagus, ginseng, tulsi, and schisandra berry to boost immune activity every day
Temporary use (10 days or less) of immune stimulants like Echinacea (Echinacea spp.) Garlic (Allium sativum), and Elderberry (Sambucus nigra, S. canadensis, or S. cerulea) can also be helpful
Ginger (Zingiber officinale), Boneset (Eupatorium perfoliatum), Licorice (Glycyrrhiza glabra) may also ease symptoms
Rest, reduce stress, seek medical are when appropriate and necessary

Breathe, don’t panic, wash your hands, cover your mouth, and be well! ~ Christina Wilke-Burbach PhD
