POLICY & PROCEDURES
I strongly believe that your time is valuable as is my time. I will make every attempt to be ready and on time for your scheduled appointment. To provide you with an outstanding experience to all of my clients and out of consideration for your time and mine, I have adopted the following policies:Arrival to your massage
Please arrive for your appointment 10-15 minutes prior to the scheduled starting time. This will allow you the time to fill out appropriate client forms (NEW CLIENTS), change and prepare for your session. All massage sessions have a specific time schedule and early arrival allows for a relaxed unhurried experience. If late arrival, your service may be shortened in order to keep on schedule and the original treatment time will be charged.Cancellation Policy and Fees
Your therapy times are reserved exclusively for you. I value your business and ask the you respect the scheduling policies. I know unexpected events happen in our lives, car problems, children’s illnesses, work schedules changing are some reasons you may need to cancel a massage appointment. However, I ask that you call or text me if you cannot keep your appointment. In my efforts to be effective and fair to all my clients, I ask that the following policies be honored:• 24 hour advanced notice required when canceling an appointment. This allows the opportunity for someone else to schedule an appointment.
• If you are unable to give a 24 hour advanced notice know that you may be charged the full amount of your scheduled appointment.
• Fees will be waived in cases of contagious illness, if you are sick please stay home and rest, we can reschedule for when you are feeling better.Clients who miss their appointment without giving any prior notification will be considered a no show and will be charged the full amount for their missed appointment.Informed Consent
