The safety and security of my clients has always been paramount to me. Because of the Coronavirus (COVID-19), I have updated my policies and procedures to keep my clients in the safest, most clean environment possible. Here is a list of my current sanitization procedures and the new procedures I am adopting once my office is able to reopen:
