The New Clinic

The Clinic started life as a cottage that had been abandoned sometime in the 50's and had become almost derelict. Husband Dave was bemoaning the fact that he had nothing to do and was told to 'get on and point up the brick work on the old cottage before the thing falls down completely'. Being relatively obedient, and obviously so bored that anything was better than nothing, he duly started mixing cement and pointing up the cottage. As work progressed the idea of a clinic began to evolve in my mind.

Up until now I have been taking Chiropody and Reflexology to clients' homes and as I live in a rural area this involves a fair amount of driving, which obviously limits the hours that I can work. In addition I am unable to carry out the massage treatments that I enjoy due to the constraints of carrying the massage bench around with me. Early on in my career I had done this and it certainly contributed to back trouble. In January 09 I went to a No Hands Massage course and I was reminded of how rewarding giving massages could be. These reasons also added to the idea of having a clinic at my home, and where better than in the old cottage.

Luckily Dave was in agreement with the idea and the work shifted up a gear or two. Planning and Building Regs were applied for and approved, and Dave began to renovate the building in earnest. As each stage is completed I am getting more and more excited about the prospect of working from home. So many people have shown an interest in what is going on that I am going to use this blog to let you know how it is all going.
