June 15th Relaunch Guidelines - Covid-19

Shanti Wellness Centre and practitioners/therapists will implement the following protocols when working and treating clients:

  • We will not treat clients who are ill, who have travelled within the last 14 days, or who have been in contact with someone who has COVID-19.
  • We will leave more time between clients (15 minutes) to allow for proper cleaning and disinfecting.
