COVID-19 Update and our Policy

Updated 15/06/2021
Following the delay of lifting all restrictions until 19th July .  Covid measures will remain as before including treatments limited to an hour, extensive cleaning , requirement for masks and therapists taking regular lateral Flow tests for COVID-19. 
We are really excited to let you know that we are open for hands on treatments!   The Government have given 'Close Contact Services' the go ahead to re-open with some clear guidelines and restrictions to keep us all safe.  Your safety is still our top priority, we have carried out full risk assessments and adhere to COVID-19 guidelines produced by the government and our professional association, the Federation of Holistic Therapies (FHT).  Adele has also completed a comprehensive qualification in 'Control of Cross Infection in a Post COVID-19 world'.

We know its been a long wait for your well needed massage and we can't wait to be treating you again in person.  To begin with we won't be able to offer all our treatments and we have put in the following steps and changes below. 
You can find our full policy on the right. 
We have been asked to minimize the amount of time in close proximity so in light of this we will:​
  • Only be able to offer 30 or 60 minute treatments for now.
 
  • Be doing new client consultations online or by phone at a scheduled time before your treatment.
 
  • Currently we will limit the amount of time clients are face up, but can offer face massage if required.
 
  • If you are in the Elderly or Vulnerable category please speak to us before booking as we would like to best assess the risks and benefits of a treatment together.   If you are in the 'High Risk' category and shielding at the moment we will not be able to treat you until the government says its safe to do so. 
 
  • We have implemented enhanced cleaning and hygiene measures between clients and across the salon including frequent touch points (like banister, doorbell, taps, sanitizer bottles etc)

  • Additionally our therapists are taking their temperature every day and doing twice weekly COVID Lateral flow tests. 

  • ​NHS Test and Trace:  If a case is suspected or we are contacted by NHS Test and Trace; Aloha Massage will only share the following details: Name, contact details, time, length of treatment and date of appointment with them.  This information will help the NHS to contact people who are at risk of having been exposed to Coronvirus.  You have the right to withhold this information by unchecking the box on the COVID-19 Pre-treatment questionnaire, however this is not advisable.  This information will  be handled in strict confidence and will only be kept and used in line with data protection laws.​​

  • NHS COVID-19 App - For those using the app, please scan using the St Augustine's official QR code poster at our entrances so clients can easily 'Check In'.  Click here for more information about the app.

What you need to know and do before attending:
