Complementary & Beauty Therapy Treatments in Faversham

COVID-19

Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is an infectious disease caused by a newly discovered coronavirus.
Most people infected with the COVID-19 virus will experience mild to moderate respiratory illness and recover without requiring special treatment. Older people, and those with underlying medical problems like cardiovascular disease, diabetes, chronic respiratory disease, and cancer are more likely to develop serious illness.
The best way to prevent and slow down transmission is be well informed about the COVID-19 virus, the disease it causes and how it spreads. Protect yourself and others from infection by washing your hands or using an alcohol based rub frequently and not touching your face.
The COVID-19 virus spreads primarily through droplets of saliva or discharge from the nose when an infected person coughs or sneezes, so it’s important that you also practice respiratory etiquette (for example, by coughing into a flexed elbow).
At this time, there are no specific vaccines or treatments for COVID-19. However, there are many ongoing clinical trials evaluating potential treatments. WHO will continue to provide updated information as soon as clinical findings become available.

Clients can access remote consultations.

Clients suffering any signs of a COVID 19 infection in the last 14 days shoul not attend the centre, and will need to make use of Remote Consultations until the required 14 day quarantine has been adhered to. This also applies if a member of your household, or a person you've had contact with has shown symptoms of COVID 19 in the last 14 days.

Remote appointments and Consultations

If you wish to discuss a new or ongoing health challenge, please Email Us and give a brief summary of your situation. Your email will be directed to the most appropriate member of the Soul Solutions team.

Wellbeing Centre appointment Protocol

If you wish to attend a centre based appointment please request a provisional appointment then:
(please note that we are unable to treat you for 14 days after a covid 19 vaccination)

You will be sent an informed consent form including a health questionnaire to return 24 hours before your requested appointment.

If you are happy to continue towards confirming your appointment return the questionnaire and consent form, if this cannot be done by email it can be confirmed by telephone with your therapist.

Your therapist will confirm your appointment.
On the day of your appointment your therapist will call you to confirm that your answers to the questionnaire remain unchanged.

On arrival at Soul Solutions you should remain in your vehicle ( if you have walked, cycled or run please wait in the shade on the grass)

Your therapist will be busy preparing the treatment room so please do not arrive early (there is no waiting area in the building and the car park is shared)

Your therapist will sanitise the room and prepare it in accordance with COVID-19 SECURE.

You therapist will be wearing PPE as required

At the time of your scheduled appointment your therapist will invite you to approach the building.
You may scan the QR poster displayed if you have the test and trace App, if not your information will be kept by your therapist for 21 days in accordance with guidelines

Your temperature will be taken with an infrared thermometer, it will be held by but not against your forehead.

If you register a green reading you will be requested to sanitise your hands and put on your face covering. If you do not have one we have some washable ones for sale at £2 each. You will then be invited into the building.

If you register yellow you may be asked some further questions and asked to rest in the cool for a few minutes before a further attempt to gain an acceptable reading and then following the green reading above.

If you register a red reading your appointment will need to be rescheduled.

Once inside the building you will be advised which Toilet is allocated to your treatment room and shown the sanitising station to use should you use the toilet during your visit.

Once inside the treatment room you may be asked to wash your hands for 20 seconds.

You will find our rooms a little more clinical than previously but this should not diminish from your treatment in any way.

Government guidelines advise the use of gloves for skin to skin contact, however, we feel the use of disposable gloves offer little help in limiting the spread of infection, and believe regular hand washing is more effective. But if you would prefer your therapist to wear disposable gloves please say upon your arrival

After your treatment you may be asked to wash your hands before replacing or adjusting your face covering prior to leaving the room

Your therapist will book your follow up appointment in the treatment room or if you prefer by telephone or email.

We are staggering appointments to restrict numbers in shared spaces but please remember to stay 2m apart from others in reception if necessary.

Your payment can be made prior to your appointment but we prefer to take contactless payment once you have been treated.

Your therapist will see you out of the building.

We do not wish to be rude, we have missed our clients very much but we are advised that talking spreads the virus and that conversation during treatments should be treatment led and that general conversation in and out of the room should be kept to a minimum.
We would like to thank our clients for their understanding in what are unprecedented times. We understand that some of the limitations we have in place may not be what everyone would like at the moment; but we will continue to review this over the coming months and would like to reassure you that we serve your best interests
