So how do we manage the stress, excitement, anticipation or fear about what’s going on?

1. Firstly, be nice to yourself, if you’re feeling a bit out of sorts, you’re not alone.
2. Space out your week – don’t overbook the diary and give yourself breathing space
3. Don’t be afraid to say no (or not yet) to catch ups, events, dinners, parties etc.  It’s lovely getting back to these things, but don’t feel like you must.  There will be another opportunity.
4. Name your feeling.  Whatever is happening for you, don’t be afraid to name what it is, this in itself can be comforting and help you get a sense of being able to manage the concern. 
5. Sign up to our FREE Calm In A Crisis – 5 day meditation program.  This is available to you and we have had some incredible feedback from people who have got a lot from it. 

CLINIC COVID UPDATE

It’s hard keeping up with what you can and can’t do these days, so we just thought it would be helpful to take a moment to explain what will be the current status quo for all face-to-face appointments at Koru.

All patients will be required to wear a face mask (age 12+) and it is preferred that primary school-aged children wear one also where possible.

As we treat a high number of children who do not have the opportunity to be vaccinated and a number of other patients who are not vaccinated for various reasons, some patients will be required to wear an N95 or P2 mask for their consultation.

Our team will supply you with the appropriate mask for your appointment.

All healthcare workers continue to have increased responsibilities and requirements in order to keep you safe, such as wearing eye protection and in some cases additional PPE.

Please don’t be concerned if we are wearing more kit than you expect, there may be a number of reasons for this.

As an additional precaution, our team has implemented rapid antigen testing that we can perform in house at a minimum of once per week. This is to ensure that we are providing the highest level of protection to you and your family.

You can watch a video of us doing an RAT here (you will see that Prue is a bit of a scardy cat). 

APPOINTMENTS

We continue to be very busy at Koru, so please ensure you’re making appointments in advance to ensure you get your preferred time, day, and practitioner wherever possible. Online bookings are back on so you can book yourself in at 2 am if you’re having trouble sleeping.

Please call the clinic if you’re having difficulty finding an urgent appointment online. We will do our very best to accommodate you.

Yours in health.
