Support April Woodnutt Sports Massage

I've been in the health and wellness industry for over 20 years, and for the past six years I have dedicated my time to building a successful sports massage and soft tissue therapy clinic in the local area. I absolutely love what I do, working long hours in the clinic and spending most of my 'free' time on courses to upskill and make sure my skills are at the top of my game. I do what I do because of my clients- they have followed me as the business has grown, some of them have been with me for 20 years! Soft tissue therapy isn't a 'job' to me, it's my passion, and not being able to physically treat clients at this time is heart breaking. 

During this period of lockdown, and not being able to work, I have had quite a few clients send me messages of support, offering to pre pay for one or more treatments, to ensure there is some income coming into the business. Up until now I have held off, but it is apparent that I won't be carrying out treatments for a while longer yet, and theres still business related bills to pay.  These include payments for the training I am constantly doing to ensure I am as skilled as possible, coaching software, online booking facilities, admin software, insurances and professional body memberships  etc. 

How can you help?

• By pre-paying for a treatment/s now, for when I am able to re-open, you can help a huge amount!
• By sharing my crowdfunded page on your profile, for other local people to see
• Entering into the prize draws. Every person that buys a pre payment voucher or sends a donation will enter a prize draw to win 2 FREE 30 minute sessions and a nutrition coaching programme of their choice. Winner will be chosen at random and notified on my Facebook page. 

Whether you would like to offer a small donation, 'pay it forward' by purchasing a treatment voucher now to redeem later, or to invest in a small business you believe in, I greatly appreciate your support. No contribution is too small.  Everything that is in your power to give, even just sharing this campaign with others, is appreciated.

Thank you all for all your support before, during and hopefully after this incredibly difficult time. I miss all my clients dearly and literally cannot wait to get back in the treatment room doing what I love. I am so grateful for all the kind messages of support I have received whilst the business has been closed- every message means a lot. 

* Solent LEP could match the fund for us if we are lucky enough to reach our target!

* For those who don't know the Solent LEP was formed after the government asked local areas to take control of their own economic development and they have a number of funds available to support economic growth across the South Coast.
