All areas under Poole Borough Council are now in Tier 4. I am able to continue to offer treatment to support an identified mental or physical health condition or injury that is causing you pain or having an adverse impact on your mobility or your quality of life. For clients who do not have identifiable health needs I am still able to offer help and advice remotely so please do reach out.
Well that’s a wrap for 2020! I hope you all have a happy and restful Christmas. I look forward to seeing all of my clients again in the new year, may 2021 be a happy, healthy and brighter year for all!

I will risk assess based on you as an individual and, even if we decide against a hands on treatment, I have a wealth of self care strategies I am more than happy to share with you.

I am so sad to report I will be suspending all appointments with immediate effect. 😢 The Massage Training Institute (MTI) can no longer reconcile Government advice on social distancing with the continued provision of massage services and indeed all therapies that involve touch and close proximity. As such the MTI have advised, unequivocally, the immediate suspension of all practices. It breaks my heart to have to do this but it is for the greater good and I truly believe we will all come out of this situation stronger and more grateful for each other. This situation is temporary so for …
My therapy practice continues at the present time subject to the following advice around self isolation for vulnerable people: Self-Isolation : The Chief Medical Officer has provided new advice around self-isolation and Public Health England have updated their web pages.

The advice remains the same that a person should self-isolate at home for seven days if they have a recent onset of a new continuous cough and/or a high temperature.
