Since the end of March 2020 when the Government issued the lockdown situation, it has not been permitted for any practioner unable to observe the 2 metre social distancing rule to work on a face to face basis with their clients.

Holistic Energy Therapies closed down on Wednesday March 18th, before the instruction from the Government, as I did not feel it was in my clients best interests to continue to work when their safety from the virus could not be guaranteed.

During the lockdown it has become increasingly (and worryingly) obvious that the virus is extremely dangerous to people with underlying health issues. It is also now accepted that the viral transmission is mainly through hand to face cross contamination, or from being in close proximity to someone exhaling deeply or coughing.

Therefore it is for these reasons, once we are permitted to return to work, there will need to be noticeable changes in the way treatments are conducted and some treatments will not be available. eg Facial massages. This is for the safety of both parties.

I have used the time during lockdown to take a certified training course in infection control and Covid-19 prevention and have taken rigourous steps to prepare the treatment space for the extensive sanitisiing processes which will be completed before and after each appointment.

Once the new protocols for safe practice are passed on to me from the regulatory professional body of which I am a member, I will put together the new guidelines for booking and accessing treatments. Until then, please be reassured that I am doing all I can to keep myself informed of all the necessary safety guidelines from the FHT, WHO, NHS and HSE. I will keep updating this page as new information becomes availabe to me.

 

Please stay safe and well until I see you again.
