COVID-19 Protection Framework Update
Between now and 4 April procedures remain the same at A Calmer Therapy as required under the Covid-19 Public Health response Order 2021.
• If you are symptomatic, please advise me as soon as possible so an alternative appointment can be made.
• Health and hygiene, cleaning and sanitising protocols remain in place.
• Clinic/room ventilation during and between clients.
• Well fitting face coverings are still required. I wear a N95 respirator mask for your protection.
As a Registered Massage Therapist, I fall under the regulations of Massage NZ and Allied Health (AHANZ). The new regulations that take effect from 4 April 2022 are currently being worked through. When I am advised what they are I will post any changes.
Working with vulnerable clients, I have very much appreciated your willingness to keep each other safe. I am happy to take enquiries on 027-733-4741.
