Please ensure that you follow all new procedures explained to you by your therapist, prior to treatment.

Your therapist has carried out a full risk assessment and adheres to COVID-19 guidelines produced by the government and their professional association, the Federation of Holistic Therapists (FHT). For more information, visit fht.org.uk/coronavirus 

Please note that if your therapist develops symptoms of COVID-19 and tests positive for the virus, your contact details may be shared with NHS Test and Trace, or the equivalent service in your country (in line with GDPR/data protection), to help minimise the transmission of COVID-19 and support public health and safety.
