CLIENT REQUIREMENTS

​

  • CANCELLATION ~ Stay home if you are not feeling well. Cancel your appointment if anyone in your household or workplace is sick. Because of the close contact by nature bodywork is not appropriate care for infectious or contagious illnesses. Please cancel your appointment as soon as you are aware of an infectious or contagious condition. If you are feeling fine, but living with someone who is ill on the day of your scheduled session, we can meet virtually for Absent Reiki or a Long Distance Healing session.

  • 24 HOUR NOTICE EXPECTED. If it is less than 24 hours, a cancellation fee of 50% of the missed session is required. Unless it is an emergency, sudden illness, Covid positive, or sudden temperature.

  • OFFER YOUR TIME IF YOU NEED TO CANCEL  ~  It would be a great help to me if you offer your scheduled session time to a friend or family member.  Please understand sometimes it is hard for me to re-fill your scheduled time, especially with a last minute cancellation. Any assistance on your part is greatly appreciated.

  • PLEASE ARRIVE 10 MINUTES EARLY TO FILL OUT THE PAPERWORK AND/OR DISCUSS YOUR GOALS FOR THE SESSION. 

  • PUNCTUALITY IS IMPORTANT AS A COURTESY TO ALL. SESSIONS END AT THE APPOINTED TIME EVEN WHEN THE CLIENT IS LATE, AND THE SESSION IS FULL PRICE.

  • CLEANLINESS IS ESSENTIAL for the proper application and absorption of products.

  • BEST NOT EAT WITHIN 2 HOURS OF SESSION

  • PAYMENT IS EXPECTED AT THE END OF EACH APPOINTMENT. CASH, CHECK, VENMO, ZELLE.

​​

During the pandemic I participated in online trainings and classes preparing to move forward as a wellness practitioner. By its very nature bodywork modalities, massage, and skin care requires skin-to-skin, (obviously), close contact. You should be familiar with the fact that infection control has always been a top priority. As we continue to navigate life with additional requirements and modify existing measures due to the many viruses, please help me to support all of my clients by cooperating with safety requirements. 

This wellness practice follows Practice Guidelines recommended by the Federation of State Massage Therapy Boards (FSMTB), along with infection control recommendations made by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA).
