Ani-Motions

Can anybody pull a better face?! 😂

Share the love in these strange times! We can look after each other’s mental well-being simply by picking up the phone or making a video call to combat loneliness 🙂

Happy Friday!

When lockdown doesn’t alter your daily routine at all....

Be kind, keep happy, stay well :)

We hope you are all keeping well! We want to know what have you been up to in lockdown! Here we are hiding in the woods for our daily exercise. Post here, feel free to add photos and lets see if you can share some good ideas that we can all use to keep our sanity!
For any clients with bookings I am gradually contacting everybody to reschedule 🙂

As it’s Mother’s Day we thought it fitting to let you all know that the ani-motions team is growing. Everybody meet our new addition due 24/9/2020. With things as they are I will be social distancing but this will hopefully mean I can share lots of posts with you all and put a load of work in behind the scenes. Looking forwards to seeing you all soon. I will be putting lots of strategies in place so that everybody is looked after even when I’m on maternity leave. As they say “keep calm and carry on!”

Covid-19 Update
It is with great sadness that I have to announce that I will be currently stopping all massage work. (People, horses and dogs) As of yesterday, the government has updated its advice to include massage parlours and combined with the backing of all massage associations stating that we should stop working, I know that it is the right thing to do.
Together we can hopefully slow down the spread of this virus and it is also of utmost importance that I protect my cl...ients during this time. I will be in touch with anybody who has appointments in due course to reschedule and update you.
Please keep tuned in to our Facebook page for some more content and any relevant information.
I am always available for advice including stretches and exercise to help during the break in massage care.
I cannot apologise enough for any Inconvenience caused and we will be back up and running as soon as possible
Thank you for your support

So what can you do to help yourself during the Covid-19 outbreak?
As individuals we need to make our body the worst host possible for this virus. This means doing everything in our power to boost our immune system.
1. Drink plenty of water - our body needs this to function!... 2. Eat healthily - give your body the nutrients that it needs. 3. Exercise - keep moving, don’t become a couch potato just because you have to self isolate. 4. Get outside! - wherever possible get outside and have some sunlight. Vitamin D is important and only produced by sunlight although you can buy a supplement. 5. Reduce stress - stress has a huge effect on our immune system and with all of the media stories at the moment it’s easy to become anxious. Use meditation and mindfulness to look after your mental health to keep your body and immune system functioning. 6. Avoid alcohol and smoking - give your body the best chance to function at optimal wellness. 7. Get enough sleep! Tired bodies don’t function at their best.
Look after yourselves
We will be keeping you all updated with any changes to our practice in due course.

Ani-Motions Ltd Covid-19 Update
To all of my lovely clients, I wanted to take this opportunity to update you with regards to the current Covid-19 outbreak.
I am currently continuing to work as usual, but will be taking extra precautions to safeguard all of my clients and their families. Please note that sessions may take a little longer to allow for disinfecting of my equipment before and after each session. I will also be washing my hands the minute that I arrive at a premis...es and again when the session has ended. If you do not have hand washing facilities please notify me in advance so that I can bring a hand washing station with me. For any high risk clients (underlying health issues, over 70, pregnant women etc) I will be wherever possible seeing them for the first appointment of the day or going home to completely change and disinfect beforehand. This may result in a few changes of appointments but will be organised well in advance. If you or a family member are high risk and I am not aware then please notify me so I can take extra precautions I needed.
I also ask that as valued clients, you take your own necessary precautions to help me to protect myself and others. If you are visiting me at home for an appointment, please wash your hands on arrival. If you have any potential symptoms or have possibly come into contact with somebody who has Covid-19 please let me know and we will reschedule your appointment for two weeks time. Please follow government guidelines and self-isolate during this time. For equine appointments this also applies if somebody at the yard at which the horse is stabled, has symptoms or is self-isolating.
During this period my usual 24 hour notice period for cancellations and rescheduling still stands, although I will allow people to reschedule (not cancel) appointments at shorter notice should they develop symptoms or be in contact with somebody that has symptoms.
I hope that you are all keeping well during these uncertain times, and please remember that for most of us the symptoms will be mild and not cause complications. If you don’t follow my facebook page already, please have a look as I will be posting some tips on how to keep yourself well during the outbreak.
If anybody has any further questions at all, please either call me on 07795148852 or send me a message via social media or email. I look forwards to seeing you all at your appointments soon.
Kindest regards Jess Culmer Ani-motions

A few of you have commented that I haven’t posted many pictures of Phoebe lately. Well guys, this is why... this is what Phoebe looks like at the moment. Hope you’re all staying dry!

We went to one of our favourite places today. We would love to see pictures of your favourite places so feel free to comment below! Did you know that walking is one of the best forms of exercise and general advice is to walk for a minimum of twenty minutes, four times a week at a pace that gets you slightly out of breath. So get outside and enjoy the winter sunshine while it’s here!

We hope that you're sticking to your new years resolutions? If it was to get fitter, don't forget to book in for a massage to help keep those aching muscles feeling great!
