How to contact Sarah and Alicia relating with work appointments and queries.

A polite notice. Said with love and respect. We are not emergency services. We do have set salon working hours. Please can I politely and respectfully remind everyone that we can only reply to messages during salon hours. (especially during the Christmas period)

Alicia and I work very long and flexible hours to accommodate you the best we can. We are physically and mentally unable to respond to all the different platforms out there. It’s just not possible or healthy to do so.

Please can I ask that clients contact myself and Alicia using the online booking system or the salon telephone only. We do have an answer machine. The salon answer machine and our online booking system is available 24 hours a day. We are struggling to keep up with all the out of hour demands and expectations. We do not use WhatsApp. Instagram, text messages or our personal facebook messenger for work related queries.

We are extremely grateful that our services are very well supported. However, we do need boundaries and limitations in place to keep ourselves safe and well for you, and for our working hours.

I hope people can support and appreciate, like you. We need time away to fill our buckets!

Thank you so much for your understanding.

The cost of cancellations and no shows!

This is said politely and respectfully.

We are experiencing a week of last minute cancellations, no shows, and some clients wishing to rearrange their Christmas appointments that have been booked for many weeks. It’s so frustrating! We do care and we understand, people can become ill, and things sometimes have to be altered.

Here are explanations of the cost that last minute cancellations, and no shows have on a small business. I hope this is helpful to some who may not understand the pressures of running a business in today’s financial climate.

We care about our clients. Please. If you are wanting or needing to alter a Christmas appointment booked, can you please give us at least 48 notice. A minimum of 48 hours notice is required for the cancellation of appointments. Otherwise a charge of 50 percent of the appointment will be levied.

Mindfulness!

Our recent mindfulness workshop offered an evening of relaxation, with an insight into what mindfulness really is, providing attendees with practical tools and personal insights into cultivating inner peace.

The evening began with a gentle breath awareness meditation and an introduction to core principles of mindfulness, emphasising present moment awareness without judgement.

Throughout the session, participants engaged in a series of guided practices, focusing on the beginners mind and the breath. The evening also included, light refreshments, group discussions, mini massage treatments, rituals, calming mantras and poems.

An evening enjoyed by us all.

I am looking forward to introducing regular mindfulness meditation evenings, starting in the New year.

Who would be interested?

Sarah 🙏🏾

Natural ways to heal your body and nourish your mind!

Who believes in the ancient practice of Traditional Chinese Medicine?

Unique tailored treatments. As unique as you!

TCM, is a system of healthcare that has evolved over thousands of years to help prevent, support and treat disease, holistically.

Reflexology, cupping therapy, auricular acupuncture and crystal healing, are treatments that focus on stimulating specific points in the body to promote good health, healing and balance. These points are believed to correspond to different organs, systems, and functions. By massaging and stimulating these points, we can influence the flow of energy and circulation.

I absolutely love this part of my work. It’s so interesting.

Hot Stone Therapy Massage

It’s officially autumn, we are noticing a shift in pace as clients are starting to settle into the more peaceful and comforting treatments.

Most clients this week who we have treated holistically, have chosen to incorporate hot stone therapy into their treatments.

Have you ever tried hot stone massage therapy?

Hot stone massage is a deeply relaxing treatment, offering benefits for both the body and mind, including easing muscle tension, aching and stiffness, improving circulation, relieving chronic pain, and helping to reduce stress.

The heat from the basalt stones, dilates blood vessels, which increases blood and nutrient flow to muscles, promoting faster healing and the removal of toxins. This therapeutic effect also helps to improve flexibility, soothe and calm the nervous system, contributing to better sleep.
