What do you love most about your job?
My job keeps me fit and healthy; I am a regular at the gym and work out daily.
I have been involved in the health & wellbeing sector for forty years.
I am privileged to work with clients from all walks of life. Who write brilliant reviews about their experience at www.housespa.co.uk
Has my business has grown, I've moved into other specialist areas of massage. I take pride in my work, and I'm always happy to give advice when needed; I believe that I always provide good value.
Why should our clients choose you?
I established my business in 2003, and ever since, I have provided the residents of Cheshire with a professional specialist mobile massage at their homes.
I completed a city & guilds in beauty therapy in 2003 then had serval years whilst learning and practising my skills. I decided to go it alone in 2009; it has been one of the best things I have ever done.
Enabling me to choose a specific industry treatment, of which I am now a specialist.
What changes have you made to keep your customers safe from Covid-19?
If I am working in someone else's home, I should consider:
A face mask can be worn as we carry the masks in are massage kit.
Wearing a face covering if you are indoors with someone you do not usually meet
Letting the fresh air in, for example, by opening doors and windows
Limit the number of workers within a confined space
Ask households to leave all internal doors open to minimise contact with door handles from the 24th of February 2022, and it is no longer mandatory for the public to wear a face covering. However, it is advised to continue doing so for close-contact services such as holistic and well-being practices or if you are in contact with people you do not normally meet. It is up to your own discretion whether you choose to wear and enforce a facemask in your practice.
