The New Normal (for now)
With community transmission of COVID now a reality in WA, it would be understandable if you had some reservations about booking an in-person appointment. Acupressure, Cupping therapy (and the occasional hug) were the norm at Vintage Health. They can certainly make social distancing recommendations of keeping two metres away from each other impossible though!
While Acupressure and Cupping Therapy are still on offer (I’m sorry to say the hugs will have to be retired for now), there are certain protocols in place at my little Perth offices. This is to keep us all as safe as possible. More detailed information will be sent in appointment confirmation emails, but here are the main things for now:
- The cleaning routine and protective measures at the office are thorough. Half an hour is scheduled between each client to allow for disinfection of all common surfaces, changing of linens etc. For each client, I will be wearing a clean apron and face mask, and a face shield. There is a Plexiglass barrier between us during the consultation part of your appointment. If you prefer I wear gloves for any of the hands-on work, I will be happy to. Otherwise plenty of hand washing will be happening during the day.
- I’ll ask you to sanitise your hands on arrival. It is mandatory for clients to wear a face mask indoors. With the plexiglass in place, you are welcome to remove your mask when seated for your consultation.
- If you are still hesitant to come to the office, you can always book an online consultation. Read on for more information.
If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to email me at elizabeth@vintage-health.com. If you still have concerns about meeting in person, read on for the perks of online consultations at Vintage Health.
Online Consultations
Online appointments are designed to be faster and more streamlined, more economical, and more convenient than in-person meetings. You get to have your consultation at a time that is convenient to you, in the comfort of your own surroundings. All you need is internet connection to a device with a camera (laptop/tablet/phone), adequate lighting, to be comfortable, and to give yourself the time and space to devote to your consultation. Whilst unable to receive in-person modalities (namely Acupressure, moxa, Cupping therapy and pulse readings), your reason(s) for seeking advice about your health can be addressed, and the following services are available as part of your video call consultation:
*Dietary ideas; lifestyle recommendations
*Herbal (Western and TCM) and supplement ideas-and where to purchase them.
*Formulate a Flower and/or Crystal Essence-then your unique elixir is created and posted to you (additional postage costs may apply)
*Tongue reading according to TCM principles (adequate lighting required)
Appointment types
There are three different lengths of online appointments, depending on how in-depth you would like to go. One hour initial consultations create an opportunity to establish a solid foundation of understanding of your needs. 45 minute follow-up consultations enable further thorough work to be done to continue support of your health journey. Also available are 15 minute mini consultations. Purchased in packages of two, four and eight sessions, these are for the client who feels confident in their health journey, but perhaps wants to check-in, get some feedback, or have some general questions answered. Feel free to take both in person and online consultations if it suits you.
NB: In order to acquire a solid understanding of someone’s health status and needs, it is recommended that new clients start with an initial consultation before booking a package of mini-consultations. However if a client has only general questions, an initial consultation isn’t always necessary.
All online appointments are paid in full as part of booking. Mini consultations are first purchased as a package, and then booking an appointment is completed using your email address or the code on the package gift certificate. All prices are listed in Australian Dollars (AUD).
For security reasons, and to comply with the personal information protection acts (HIPAA, PIPEDA and the Privacy Act 1988), online consultations are conducted via Google Meet. If you are using a mobile device for your consultation ie. a smartphone or tablet, you will need to download the Google Meet app prior to out appointment. You’ll find the app in either Apple store (for Apple devices) or Google Play (for Android devices).
Otherwise if you are on a PC/laptop, you can access the meeting by clicking on the link in the appointment confirmation email.
Online appointments can be scheduled upon request. Please contact me at elizabeth@vintage-health.com.
