Allow Holistic and Complementary therapies to continue through lockdowns
Please recognise that Complementary Therapies are not the same as hair and beauty.
We are healers. We heal the soul.
At a time when mental health is at an all time low, therapies like Reiki, Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) and Positive Wellbeing Coaching can make all the difference
Please re-think about lumping us in with the beauty industry and allow us to do our jobs - to heal the body, mind and soul

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
Holistic and complimentary therapy businesses are not included in the list of businesses that have been required to close during the current lockdown: www.gov.uk/guidance/new-national-restrictions-from-5-november
The Complementary Medical Association and Complementary and Natural Healthcare Council have published guidance that states they believe these types of businesses are able to continue operating during the current lockdwon.
If you want the Government to explicitly exempt certain businesses from the requirements to close, we could accept a petition requesting this, but it would need to be clear exactly which businesses you wanted to be exempted.
