Sage Policies
Our Sick Policy
Not Feeling Well? Reschedule, no penalty.
We want Sage to be a safe, healing space for everyone who walks through our door, patients and practitioners alike. If you’re feeling sick, please stay home and reschedule your appointment. We mean this warmly, not as a formality.
Please Reschedule If You Have:
A fever of 100.4° or higher
Vomiting or diarrhea
A diagnosed contagious illness (strep throat, flu, COVID, norovirus, pink eye, etc.) - please wait until you are no longer contagious, per your doctor’s guidance
Chills or body aches accompanying any of the above
A persistent cough, sore throat, or nasal congestion that started or worsened in the last 24 hours
Head lice or any active skin infection
How to Reschedule
Just call or text us at (732) 646 - 5118, or email Candace@sagechinesemedicine.com as soon as you know you’re not feeling well. There is no penalty, and no judgement, we’d rather see you when you’re fully ready to receive your treatment.
Why This Matters
Acupuncture and TCM works best when your body has the space to heal and coming in sick can actually work against that process. It also protects our other patients, many of whom are managing their own health conditions, and our practitioners so we can keep showing up well for everyone.
Still not sure? If your symptoms aren’t listed here, or you’re on the fence, just reach out. We’re happy to talk it through with you rather than have you guess.
