July 2020
Just as we were settling back into routine, here we are in lockdown again! Not so frightening for you, the second time around, I hope. For me, I am as happy as a pig in mud!!
From the last lockdown I know I can continue providing Massages and Ayurvedic Treatments as long as all my infection control procedures are in place and working. I have had my COVID-19 Test at the end of June and was found Negative. However, since then I have been working so who knows now? They have not said how frequently we should get tested and I suppose the test is really only valid for an incubation period! No time to get complacent and just keep washing hands, using an alcohol based hand sanitiser whenever it is offered (especially if it is free!!) as well as keeping our 1.5 meter personal distance and observing other infection control practices such as staying home if unwell, sneezing or coughing into elbows (your own that is) and refraining from hand shakes, high 5's, hugging, kissing and hanging out with people you do not live with! The debate about masks is one such that I am leaning towards the "over precaution" it can provide and as a first aider since 1979, we always say "Prevention is the Best First Aid". I am yet to find a mask that does not fog my glasses or make it difficult to breathe but I assume it will come with practice. It might offer the added bonus of sun protection, warmth keeper and hide the potential Italian moustache I could grow as my years progress!
There are two services I would like to highlight to you for the month of July - An Ayurvedic Massage & Steam Treatment for one, and a Shirodhara as second.
An Ayurvedic Massage uses warm oil (everyone loves my warm oil), has a specific routine of strokes designed to break up toxins in your muscles and help your body eliminate it, is relaxing without making you feel like you want to go home to a Nanna-Nap and is completed with an Indian Scalp Massage. The time in the Steam Box at the end is great for skin health and adds to the detoxification the massage started (plus an enjoyable way to warm up!!). It is a 2 hour treatment for $140 and if you book in July, I will give you a $25 discount. To see the video, click here. What a Winter Treat for yourself!
A Shirodhara is a treatment where warm medicated oil flows onto your forehead for a set period of time, putting you into a meditation-trance like state. It is excellent for treating insomnia, anxiety, stress and depression. This treatment is best served as a course of 4-6 on a fortnightly basis. It is also just a great escape from your world for 90 minutes! This treatment is $130 and for the month of July, I will take $25 off also, making it $105. I do not have a video of this treatment yet so if you would like a further $50 discount while agreeing to be filmed and my use of that video for promotional purposes on website, Facebook and YouTube, let me know and you can have the treatment of just $55. First caller wins!
Keep safe until next time ...
