Goodbye message from Fabiola

Hands On therapist Fabiola Velásquez recently emigrated to Greece with her husband. Here is her goodbye message to all of you.

"After working for five months with Hands On Walk-in Backrub, I can say that this has been one of the most rewarding experiences I've had as a therapist and as part of a multidisciplinary team of profesionals working to provide the best diagnosis and treatment required by each individual.

"Furthermore, all the products used for treatment at Hands On are meticulously selected to ensure that only natural and ethically produced ingridients are used. Adhering to these values has been very important for me and one of the reasons I decided to collaborate with Hand On. 

"Understanding the workings of our biological nature is very important when offering holistic therapies and therapeutic massage to improve people's quality of life, and therefore carefully selecting the treatment products with a respect for nature can only complement this process.

"Massage and therapy for the body and mind can be a tremendously powerful tool when applied by professionals with high levels of experience and knowledge, but they also require significant knowledge of patients about the biology of their body. We should be conscious of our body and what it requires to fuction properly and especially to prevent injury. To offer our body a good rest, proper nutrition and hydration should be a daily habit.

"Modern life has made great technological advances, but at the same time people increasingly live in environments with high levels of stress and long working hours in front of a computer without giving our body the natural flexibility and mobility required to live in harmony. Our body doesn't have the natural ability to face those levels of stress and long hours of seated work. In this context people are more susceptible to accumulate stress, and this has a huge impact on our biological and psychological health.

"Hands On is aware of the need to provide services to the public that include a variety of treatments, but also to include a high level of empathy and love for people, who need care and support  in order to improve their health and quality of life. 

"Therefore my experience at Hands On has been very important because I have been given the opportunity to work in an environment where people are truly important and not a mere pursuit of profit. This principle for me as a therapist is the basis of everything.

"Last, but not least, a special thank you to Dominc Neate for trusting me to work at Hands On and for being so generous and consistent with his principles and human values. I hope I have contributed something to improve the physical and emotional health of  the people that I have treated.

"Thank you very much," Fabiola said recently in a mail from Greece.

Responding to her, Hands On director Dominic said: "Fabiola was a really fantastic therapist and we are so sad to be losing her. She was a masterful inspiration to our new therapists and gave them some very useful tips and she was a much loved therapist among our clients. She will be very sorely missed, but we wish her and her husband all the best in their new life."
