Important update from the Federation of holistic therapists - still on hold.......

Dear Helen

Following the Prime Minister's announcement yesterday that hairdressers and barbershops can re-open from 4 July, the government has just published Close contact services: Guidance for keeping workers and clients safe in close contact services. In this guidance, it is stated that other businesses in England offering close contact services, including massage, wellbeing and holistic services, are to remain closed "until further notice".

While we appreciate the government is continuing its efforts to control and monitor the spread of COVID-19, we also know how disappointing this news will be for so many of our members, who are desperate to support their clients again and earn some much-needed income. Please be assured that we are fighting on behalf of members through the Integrated Healthcare Collaborative, All-Party Parliamentary Group on Beauty, Aesthetics and Wellbeing and cross-industry collaborative letters to the government - full collaboration with other professional associations/bodies at government level.
As and when further information is available, we will of course keep you informed. In the meantime, please have a look at the new government guidelines, our recently updated coronavirus statement, and FHT's 'Preparing to return to practice', to help you get 'work ready' for when the time comes to welcome you clients back for treatment. A number of our FHT accredited training providers are also offering infection control courses, including a free, certified course by Jennifer Young, which covers carrying out a risk assessment - please see more details on our training pages.



Kind regards and stay safe and well,

The FHT Team

It's been 12 weeks since my last holistic treatment at Marholmatherapy. I've missed the lovely chats, heart-warming hugs, laughs, sometimes tears and mostly giving the stress relief, feelings of well-being and balance to all of my visitors to the cabin and clients in their homes. I am hoping to resume reflexology treatments first as it's easy to be 2m apart. All equipment will be disinfected between treatments so I shall be doing fewer initially. I'm afraid my famous herbal teas are on hold and I'll ask you to bring your own drink. I will wear a fluid- resistant mask for your safety and hopefully during Summer the doors and window will offer greater ventilation. I have no date for restarting as I await guidelines from the Federation of holistic therapists so watch this space and I hope I will get you all back on schedule in a few weeks. Take care everyone.

Grinding your teeth, feeling low? Try a facial massage tonight. Put some relaxing music on - I did mine to Bridge Over Troubled Water.......
1. Clean hands and face. Warm an oil or face serum.
2. Sit in a comfy chair and rub together your palms with oil.
3. Practice a massage pressure on the backs of your hands.
4. Massage back of your neck with circular thumb motions and move to behind ears.
5. Use fingers mid jawline and gently massage upwards to cheekbones. Just keep moving your hands over and over in same gentle rhythm.
6. Concentrate on temples and press in with thumbs.
7. Press under eyes gently and slide back to temples.
8. Move up to forehead and smooth lines outwards and upwards.
9. Massage your scalp with eyes closed and let the oil work in overnight.
10. Smile and repeat again tomorrow.

Anxious times. Let's help ourselves. Apply your favourite hand cream using circular motions with your thumbs - follow the hand maps covering all pressure points for 10 minutes listening to some relaxation music. Repeat daily........

I'm sad to say I've made the decision to close my treatment room and mobile business until we come through this crisis. Thank you to all of my loyal clients who are also my friends. I'm confident you will come back to me and we will all need a good bout of holistic therapy after this. Take care of yourselves. I'm going to put some self-help tips on here so that you can work on your own hands and feet for relaxation and rebalancing so watch this space. X###
