Open for reflexology treatments
Minimising the risk of cross infection
What can I expect during my treatment?
Following the change to the government rules for Coronavirus, I have decided to continue using my existing coronavirus control measures. I have carefully about this and for me it feels the correct approach. The Delta variant is a unpredictable highly infections virus, which has great potential for infection and indeed has caused even those with full vaccination to fall ill. For my personal circumstances In order to minimise the of cross infection, I am following adaptations recommended by the Government and Association of Reflexologists, which are for our mutual protection.
These include:
- A risk assessment form will be completed before each treatment to determine if it is appropriate for you to have a treatment.
- For new clients, a medical history will be taken over the telephone at a pre-arranged time. The completed form will be available for you to check and sign before the treatment starts.
- Clients will be asked to arrive alone and on time. I don't have a waiting room so will be unable to admit you earlier than 5 minutes before your appointment. If you do arrive earlier, please be prepared to wait in your car.
- If you are delayed, please contact me as soon as possible. I have a strict cleaning routine between clients, which may prevent me from running past the arranged time slot for your appointment.
- Please wear an appropriate, close fitting face mask to the appointment. This can either be a surgical mask or a triple layer fabric mask. Depending on the therapy you are receiving, for your protection I will either wear a triple layer fabric and visor mask, or a surgical mask and visor.
- When you arrive you will be asked to sanitise or wash your hands. I will also sanitise my hands.
- I will maintain the correct social distance from you.
- If you would like to bring your own blanket with you, please do. Otherwise I am able to provide one for you. Clean linens/towels/blankets are always used for each client.
- My reflexology treatment room will be simplified and soft furnishings removed to allow for more efficient cleaning. The room will ventilated during the treatment and aired between clients with all surfaces, floor, door handles, chairs etc thoroughly disinfected. If it is chilly, I have an efficient heater to help keep you warm.
- Waste and laundry will be dealt with, in line with Government Guidelines.
- Please bring a bottle of water with you, which you can drink following the treatment.
- If possible please make payment with a card/paypal/bank transfer, rather than cash. I use an i-zettle machine, which accepts most cards.
- Please use the hand sanitiser by the front door, upon leaving.
Hygiene and safety is of paramount importance to me. If you have any concerns, please call me to discuss.
Please be aware, if you have recently had your vaccination, the Association of Reflexologists is recommending that there is an interval of 3 days between vaccination and receiving a reflexology treatment.
