At last, the news you have been waiting for:
Fran Paine at the Penny Withers studio is finally able to reopen. Social distancing procedures have been put in place and an additional hygiene and cleaning regime has been implemented. We are confident it will create as safe an environment as possible.
I am delighted to be taking bookings for the week beginning the 3rd August. Following government guidance for close contact services, the treatments will be 45 minutes and allowing 30 minutes in between clients for cleaning. Together with Penny’s instructors, we are also staggering appointments to reduce the traffic in the reception area.
The fixed, available appointment slots for Thursdays are:
2.00 – 2.45pm
3.15 – 4.00pm
4.30 – 5.15pm
5.45 – 6.30pm
7.00 – 7.45pm
I do appreciate that for a variety of reasons you may not be ready to come back yet, so please contact me by email, text or phone to arrange your appointment whenever you would like to
In collaboration with Penny I have put together a series of protocols and procedures that we will be adopting both for clients and for therapist/instructors in order to minimise risk. Prior to your first appointment these will be emailed to you. It is important that you read these documents in advance so you know what to expect from me and what I expect from you. Safety and risk management are my primary concerns. I will not be able to see clients without a signed agreement.
Obviously the mitigations the Penny Withers Studio and I are putting in place will have some impact on your treatments but I believe the minimal differences are worth it as I know from your messages how much you want to come back for massages. The government guidelines are constantly evolving and I will be adapting my policies in line with any new updates.
A huge thank you for your continuing support over this time. I am so excited to reopen and can't wait to see you again.
Much love
Fran
