When it's a big job but not a big job!

 Well, I finally finished my quarantine time, yay!  Time stuck indoors is never easy and I have been itching to get back to my studio.  Having not stepped inside the place for four and a half months, I was desperate to return to my happy place and to get putting it straight once more.  Having had it sit empty for over 4 months, i was a little apprehensive as to what state I would find it in.  I was also keen to get back to my beautiful oils and start whipping up some smells in there and create that relaxing, tranquil space we have all come to know and love.

For a place that has been closed up for that long, it had faired better than i expected....but there has still been a lot of work to do.  I knew this would be the case, hence choosing to spend an extra week closed so that i had time to get down to the studio.

So, I've been busy scrubbing, cleaning, moving, clearing and the studio is nicely taking shape.  There's still a fair bit to go and I'm also wanting to create some fresh new scents for us to work with.  Plus sorting out the Indi-ssentials product range ready for selling once more.  A few of you have already been asking about buying the massage/body oils, candles and pain balms.  

Here is the work in progress!  I will be cleaning in my sleep soon!

How to help with stress right now?

 I'm sure that when we all first heard about the coronavirus, many of us believed it would be over in a few months, nothing to worry too much about.....but here we are ending the year and it is still very much here!

The Indian Government has always placed a large emphasis on health and well being and our emotional state, noting things such as the role of Ayurveda and exercise.  This is wonderful to see, as our emotional health is very important.  

As this crisis continues on, we can find ourselves in a constant state of stress or heightened anxiety.....finding ourselves getting upset or agitated at the smallest things.  Stress during normal times can be difficult enough but extreme times like this can make it much worse.  So how are you looking after your stress levels right now?

Here are some handy ways to help tackle that stress.

• Meditation! Whether it's listening to relaxing music, guided meditations or sitting in quiet contemplation, try to start your day with some quiet meditative time.
• Being realistic - There are many things we would all like to be doing right now, or things we have missed out on or failed situations but be realistic on what you can achieve right now, otherwise you are setting yourself up for failure and added pressure.
• Finding things to be grateful for each day.  You can even start a gratitude diary where you can write down what you are grateful for each day.
• Watch a comedy/funny video.  Laughter and smiling helps to release endorphins which lift us up.
• Getting up and being active.  This can help break that rut and you only need do it for a few minutes and you'll notice the difference.  Perhaps stick on your favourite song and dance round the room!  Or yoga for thoughtful breathing and connecting with the body.
• Take a call with friends and family.  It's amazing what a video call with friends and family can do to help you feel supported and that even if you can't see them in person, you can still be connected to them.
• Continue eating a healthy diet.  At times of stress we can end up eating food which leaves us feeling stodgy and bloated.  Try to maintain a healthy diet.  Not only will you be getting the right nutrients but you will feel good within yourself too.
• Burn a nice scented candle, incense or oil burner full of uplifting, calming or de-stressing scents, whatever it is you are wanting to achieve, to help relieve your state of mind.

Look after body and mind and it will help look after you✨

Tentatively open....

**Jaipur Remedial Therapies is tentatively open, following strict hygiene protocols.**

I wanted to share some of the protocols with you so you can be sure of the safe environment I am working hard to create.

** As you can see from the photo, we have shifted rooms from the small massage room to the big, expansive space for ventilation and greater hygiene protection.

** We use vinyl coverings on any equipment the body comes into contact with so that these can be easily cleaned and sanitized between appointments.

** During treatments I am wearing, a mask and eye protection.

** Work clothing is changed between each session and it has always been the case that all sheets and coverings for the table are changed for each session.

** There is hand sanitizer by the door for you to use as you come in and as has always been the case, I use hand sanitizer repeatedly, before, after and during the massage.

** Appointments need to be booked a day in advance due to the strict hygiene and sanitizing protocols that need to be followed because of the time needed to be prepared.

** Every part of the table is cleaned inbetween appointments

** Only a small number of clients will be seen each day.

As you can see, big measures are being taken to ensure the safety of everyone and yet provide you with massage treatments at a time when you could really benefit, help to relax and relieve some of the stress and tension and sort out problem areas.

Two years of Jaipur Remedial Therapies!

Wow!  Hard to believe it has been two years since we last updated this blog.  Due to its low usage we had focused on alternative means such as Facebook and Instagram.  However as a means to get the information out there once again we're hitting up the blog!

In the last two years of Jaipur Remedial Therapies a lot has changed.  We've grown as a business from offering mobile and treatments from the home to having our own studio in C scheme, Jaipur.  Our studio has grown from not only offering remedial and therapeutic treatments but into a wellness centre where there are yoga and meditation classes available.

We also make our own product range which is growing in popularity as people try and fall in love with them and want to move away from products filled with lab based chemicals.  Our products are natural, simple yet effective and leave skin and hair feeling soft, conditioned and give added value.

As time goes on it will become more apparent in this blog of all that has changed and all that we now offer!

We have many new updates for you!
