Relaxing Covid-19 Rules

masks-off-june-2022

We are now in a period where the instances of Covid-19 in the community are in strong decline thanks to the vacination program and the change of seasons.

As a result, from 1st June 2022 it will no longer be necessary for you to:

1. Confirm by email 24 hours before attending treatments that you are free of Covid symptoms

2. Wear a mask when you visit Feet First Reflexology

However, Feet First Reflexology will continue to do everything possible to provide a wonderful reflexology or reiki experience whilst continuing to be Covid-19 secure.

For full details on what to expect when you visit from 1st June 2022 please go to the dedicated Covid-19 page.

And then relax because you’ll be in safe hands.

Covid-19 Safety Update

As you are aware, on 19th July 2021 we enter Step 4 of the Government’s plan for easing coronavirus restrictions in England. You may be wondering how this will affect your treatments at Feet First Reflexology. Hence, this Covid-19 safety update.

Although mandatory mask wearing and social distancing officially end on 19th July, the Government “expects and recommends” that face coverings still be worn in close contact facilities. Feet First Reflexology is such a facility.

The Assosication of Reflexologists also advise that both clients and therapists continue to wear a face covering, unless they are exempt, during the entire appointment.

Therefore, as a responsible therapist, I will continue to adhere to Covid-19 secure guidelines for your safety and that of all clients that visit Feet First Reflexology.

As a brief reminder, these are measures that I take to minimise risk whilst ensuring that you benefit from your treatment:

1. 24 hours before your treatment you receive an email and text reminder of your appointment time with questions that you must respond to before visiting the following day.

2. You arrive wearing a face covering, unless exempt, and keep this face covering on for the duration of your appointment unless this causes you distress.

3. You place your belongings in the sanitised box provided and sanitise your hands.

4. Before treatment commences, I ask you to confirm you have no covid symptoms, have not tested positive or been in contact with someone who has tested positive within the last 48 hours or been told to self-isolate.

5. I use fresh sheets, towels, pillows, and blankets for each client and remove them at the end of the session and wash them immediately at 60 degrees.

6. I sanitise surfaces, door handles, and the plastic box for your belongings.

7. I provide you with a sealed bottle of chilled water for you to drink when you leave.

8. The reflexology room is ventilated 24 hours a day with a maximum of three clients in any working day.

9. If you need to use the toilet, this is in a separate area and is sanitised after each use for your protection.

10. In the days following your treatment, if you begin to feel unwell and suspect that you may have coronavirus, please stay at home, self-isolate, get a Covid-19 test, and inform me so that I can take the appropriate steps to protect other clients.

Please see full details on Covid-19 guidelines or contact me at anytime should you have any further questions or concerns.

You can also refer to the Government’s guidance for close contact services.

Temporary Closure

temporary-closure-feet-first-reflexology

On Saturday 31st October 2020, the UK Government announced the placing of England into a 4-week lockdown from Thursday 5th November 2020 until Wednesday 2nd December in order to control the spread of COVID-19.

Feet First Reflexology has been operating as a COVID secure environment since re-opening on 13th July 2020.

However, guidance on new national restrictions makes clear that businesses offering personal care facilities such as reflexology must close temporarily from 5th November until 2nd December 2020.

Sadly, this means that all appointments for this period are cancelled.

To reschedule your November appointment for December 3rd onwards, please make a new booking online.

Provided that the temporary lockdown is not extended, Feet First Reflexology will resume treatments on Thursday 3rd December.

If you have an appointment for December 3rd onwards, you need take no action at this stage.

As you know, your safety and well-being are my highest priority and Feet First Reflexology will continue to be a COVID safe environment.

I am looking forward to resuming treatments on Wednesday 3rd December.

In the meantime:

Stay safe. Stay well.
