25.01.2022 A D D R E S S Y O U R S T R E S S This time of year can feel a little chaotic.. Longer hours at work..... Extra shopping to do.. Harder to find a car park.. Take some time to relax, rejuvinate, and recharge your batteries. We have after hours and weekend appointments available to make sure that you feel like you're being looked after. Head to: https://book.nabooki.com/foxtherapies to book your ideal time slot and keep your Inner-Scrooge at bay

20.01.2022 K E E P I N G Y O U S A F E In preparation for re-opening, a few extra steps have been put in place to keep you and our community safe from COVID transmission. Part of this is extended time in-between patients to ensure all frequently touched surfaces are thoroughly cleaned, and disposed of in the appropriate manner.... Prior to your appointment, you will get a call to run you through a verbal COVID-19 screening questionnaire. Please note that you will not be permitted into the premises without the verbal screening being completed. You will be required to sign this document during your appointment as a legal declaration that your verbal responses during the call were made by you and true. Upon arrival, you will be provided hand-sanitiser so that you can safely remove your current face-covering/mask and replace it with a disposable one. Should you fall into one of the four exemption categories for wearing a mask, please ensure that you bring a signed letter from your GP with you on your first appointment to keep on file. If you answer 'Yes' to any of the screening questions, your appointment will be rescheduled for 14 days later or until you can provide a negative COVID-19 test result (whichever is sooner). Should you develop any symptoms, please reschedule your appointment as soon as possible or get in touch with me via email or text. Any rescheduling of appointments due to symptoms will have the cancellation fee waived until we reach the 'COVID Normal' stage of the roadmap. The cancellation fee will still apply to No Shows or last minute changes not relating to COVID-19. Please only bring into the clinic what is absolutely necessary for your appointment (keys, payment method, concession card, etc.), and leave anything else safely locked away in the boot or glove box of your car. If you arrive wearing a re-useable mask, please have a sealable bag that you can leave it in during your appointment and do not put it down on any of the clinic surfaces.

19.01.2022 Looking forward to welcoming patients back as of tomorrow

18.01.2022 How are you taking care of yourself?

17.01.2022 I mentioned it briefly at the end of my Live earlier today, but this sums it up perfectly. Whilst the situation is improving, and the state government has allowed Remedial Services to re-commence I'm holding off on opening my doors for a little longer. I understand that this may be disappointing to some, so I wanted to take this opportunity to explain why. Due to the fact that we've never been through anything like this before, we (health practitioners) will need to update... our codes, policies, and minimum standards when it comes to hygiene and infection control. At present, new protocols are being drafted by the massage industry; continually being updated as new information from leading scientists emerges about the nature of the virus. When it is finally published, I will go through it and ensure that my treatment space meets the requirements before opening my door to patients. Yes, stock levels are improving across the country and suppliers are contacting me to purchase Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). Again, I'm holding off. I want to ensure there is a surplus of PPE for our frontline workers before I start purchasing for the clinic. Those of you who have been following for a while know how much I value Community, and it doesn't feel right to acquire these items at this present time. I hope my clients understand this, and know that it doesn't feel good to leave you on the bench. Hopefully it wont be for too much longer My goal as your therapist is never to "fix" you. What I hope to impart in each session is, yes relief of course but also, knowledge about your body so that you are empowered to look after yourself with minimal to no intervention from me. This is the perfect opportunity for you to practice those tips I've been giving you ;) and KNOW that I'm still here for you in the meanwhile if you need me to walk you through any of it. Thank you all for continuing to support me by engaging with my social media posts or booking in for a Distance Reiki session. It really means a lot Thank you for taking the time to read this post. Thank you for being patient as we globally navigate our new world. Remember: when out and about to behave as if you currently have COVID-19. We'll get through this Yours in Service and Solidarity, Mei Turnbull, Complementary Health Practitioner Founding Director & Principal Practitioner

16.01.2022 R E M E D I A L M A S S A G E Who's It For? Remedial is ideal for someone after a more TARGETED approach to treatment.

Headaches Sporting Injuries (Sprains, Strains, and Tears) Plantar Fasciitis Some patients engage in Remedial Massage to help lessen the severity of the symptoms of their Chronic Illnesses, like: Asthma Fibromyalgia Low Back Pain All bodies are unique and so is everyone's experience of discomfort.

11.01.2022 I Can't Wait To See You Again Dearest Friends and Followers, It is with great pleasure and excitement that I announce that I am ready to re-open my doors for Face2Face appointments.... Thank YOU so much for your patience and support over the past 6 months. I've developed a COVID-Safe Plan, which has been given the by respected board members in the Massage Industry. I'll be sharing what this looks like in the coming days, so keep a look out on this page. In the meanwhile, if you're on the edge of your seat to book in please head to: https://book.nabooki.com/foxtherapies to find your ideal timeslot. Looking Forward to Looking After You Once Again

11.01.2022 My dear clients and followers of this page, Whilst I had plans in place to re-open at the end of the month, in the wake of the recent spike in new cases and the attached announcement from our Premier, Fox Therapies will continue to remain closed until further notice. I wish that things could be different but, as I've stated before, remaining closed is the best way that I can protect and be of service to you and our community at this time. The virus doesn't discriminate, and I... won't. I am fortunate to be able to treat people from all walks and stages of life, which means the potential for them to introduce the virus to someone vulnerable in their home is somewhat likely. The first rule of health practice is: Do No Harm, and I wouldn't forgive myself if I was the common denominator in new cases by treating someone who was asymptomatic. I miss you all, and a day doesn't go by that I don't think of you. I remain at your service and am always happy to message, email, or take a call to talk you through any self-treatment options should any niggles crop up.. or even if you just need someone to chat to when the isolation gets overbearing. Thank you all so much for your unwavering patience and support during these unprecedented times. I look forward to the day when I can announce my re-opening. Until then: stay safe and remember to behave as though you *currently* have the virus, not as though you're avoiding contracting it Yours, in Service and Solidarity, Mei Turnbull

10.01.2022 ? ? ? W H A T D A Y I S I T ? ? ? Since becoming a remedial therapist, Monday has always been my favourite day of the week. When I first started in the industry, it was the only night I offered after hours appointments so it was the first day to fill up weeks in advance. Those clients have remained on Mondays, which is why it's stil my favourite day to treat. Now, the days are sort of melding into one and suddenly underwear with novelty elastic doesn't seem like suc...h a bad idea What we're doing collectively is for the greater good of all. I look forward to the day when I can announce my re-opening. Until then, Distance Reiki and Splits Coaching are both available. Head to https://book.nabooki.com/foxtherapies to book an appointment today!

09.01.2022 "..They went with songs to the battle, they were young, Straight of limb, true of eye, steady and aglow. They were staunch to the end against odds uncounted, They fell with their faces to the foe. ... They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old; Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning We will remember them." -Laurence Benton, For the Fallen Elaine from everytinytale was commissioned to give our Mo a one day makeover. What do you think of it?
