Getting back into the swing of things – August

Our doors have been open for over a month and we have been incredibly busy so thank you for booking with us and helping this local business pull through this crisis. It has been great to see some familiar faces back in the centre and also many new ones.  We are still open every day.  You can book online but if you can’t see the appointment you want then please do call as we can sometimes arrange for other therapists to come in.  BOOK ONLINE From the 8th August it is mandatory for clients to wear a face mask in the centre so please bring one with you.  Treatments on the face (including eyebrow, lash and facials) are now available! The use of the sauna are still not permitted yet (29th Aug).  If you are desperately waiting for it to open, please call or email the centre and we will take your details down on our waiting list and call you so you will be the first to know when these services resume.  We have been working hard to make sure the salon will be a safe environment for both yourselves and our staff and we closely follow Government guidelines on P.P.E. Guidelines that are published on the Government website are the ones that we have to adhere to. Unfortunately, some practises are offering treatments before they should so please don’t use these as a guide as to when we should be offering them.

REIKI

We are now back open for our ONE ENERGY reiki group sessions at the centre. They take place every first Sunday of the month from 11.30am – 1pm.  This is a group talking session, no experience is necessary. £5 donation. It’s a drop in but advisable to book beforehand as due to restrictions we have a limit on numbers.  Next session is 6th September 2020

These are items you can’t get on the big shopping giants like Amazon and it encourages us to continue making and offering unique handmade products – all made with intention.

OUR NHS HEROS Through your donations our fundraising campaign enabled us to treat some NHS workers to free treatments.  Below are their stories…..

Miriam Harley She’s a single mum of three children and a Cancer Nurse Specialist at King’s. She was one of the first to step up for redeployment and juggled long shifts on Covid wards and ITU. She would do whatever she could to make a difference.  For example, one patient had been ill with Covid for a long time and was feeling very low. His phone had been lost on admission to hospital meaning he had no way of keeping in touch with his family. Miriam went out of her way to find his phone and also arranged with his family for his clippers to be brought in so she could give him a haircut. Being able to speak to his wife and children again and feel cared for in this way really lifted this patient’s spirits, making such a difference to him and his family.

SARA WYLIE  As well as being a busy mum to two young children she is also an Intensive Care nurse at Kings. She has been working on the Covid ICU wards as well training staff who were transferred from other parts of the hospital to work in ICU. She is always optimistic and positive and she is also a brilliant friend. .Sara: “During the pandemic our Critical Care expanded from 69 beds, to over 130 beds. We have seen incredibly sick patients fight and survive COVID-19. I have also seen our  nurses complete marathon shifts in full PPE. Both patients and my colleagues have surpassed all expectations”

We are experiencing high levels of demand for treatments so please don’t leave it too long to book.  Have a happy and healthy summer.  From the MindBody Team x
