To all my lovely clients,
Firstly I am looking forward to opening on 14th July!
MY DIARY IS NOW OPEN! If anyone wants an appointment 🙂
Please take the time to read this if you are thinking of booking a treatment.
Further to my info on I posted earlier in the month on what to expect at your treatment. I have carried out a full COVID19 risk assessment and this is my updated protocol...
Grab yourself a cuppa and a biscuit, this will be a long one 😊
When you arrive for your treatment, please arrive on time, neither early or late. I need time to sanitise before your treatment and after. For info on what areas I will be sanitising, please ask.
Please DON'T COME if you or anyone you have had contact with has a high temperature or is showing symptoms of COVID19. Please DON'T COME if you have a compromised immune system or are at particular risk if you contract the virus, keep yourself safe at home.
Just before your arrival I will have sanitised my hands fully and I will be wearing a disposable apron and a mask.
When you arrive I will take your temperature, if it is high we will need to rearrange and I advise you get yourself tested.
I will hand you a spray bottle, this bottle will have been fully sanitised with sanitiser which kills the COVID19 virus. This is the same sanitiser I will be using to sanitise my treatment room and other areas. This spray bottle contains 80% alcohol spray and is for your use throughout your treatment. You can use this to spray your hands before you enter and whenever you feel you need to during your time here.
I will ask you to put on a face covering, if you are not already wearing one. If you do not have one I can provide this. This is non negotiable at the moment in my treatment room, as I must protect myself for my family, other clients and people I work with in my other job.
I will invite you to enter and go through to the treatment room, I will follow, keeping a 2m distance.
When entering the treatment room I will direct you to sit at the opposite end of the room. We can now have our initial consultation. During this consultation I shall add your contact details to my record so I have a quickly accessible guide of who I saw on what day in case this info is needed for track and trace. I will destroy this info when I no longer am required to keep it. When I do a postural assessment I will stand behind you and to the side, never facing you.
You can now lay on the massage table and treatment can begin. I will, as do anyway, be leaving the room between moves. The window will wide open during your treatment, whatever the weather, if you think you may get cold, please bring something to cover you,please wash it before hand and take it home with you. I will not be providing any type of material items for this purpose.
I will not be able to perform any part of your treatment which involves touching your face. The moves I carry out on the neck will be carried out at the end of the treatment, when you are seated so that I may do these from behind rather than above, this will continue until the Government changes their guidelines on this and may even later, depending on when I feel it is safe to do so.
If you need the toilet during your treatment, feel free to use the facilities, which will all have been sanitised before your arrival. Please take your spray with you. Flush the toilet with the lid down and spray your hands before leaving the toilet to enter the bathroom to wash your hands and use the disposable hand towels to dry, then respray your hands.
Upon leaving I will hand you a nappy bag to dispose of your mask (if you have not provided your own) you can put this in the no touch bin at the front door and I will ask you to put your spray in the bowl of sanitiser.
Once you have gone I will, put on gloves, remove all disposable items, couch roll etc take off the PPE I used to treat you and put on new to sanitise all areas before the next client.
I will be tested for COVID19 once a week (although this has not started yet) Obviously if I am positive or anyone at my other job tests positive, I will be locking down by business again with immediate effect. Until I know it is safe to reopen.
If you would like any more details or info or would like a list of any of the ingredients used in my sanitiser or alcohol spray, please ask.
Due to the size and space in my treatment room, for the moment I will only be having 1 person in at a time. This means anyone you bring with you must wait outside the house and unfortunately it means that currently I cannot accommodate or treat children 😔
Also at this time I will not be making any mobile visits.
Thank you for reading to the end. It all sounds very complicated written down, but once in the swing of things, it will all become very normal, I'm sure :-)
I look forward to seeing you all soon 😀
