Office Information & Policies

General Office Policies

Please be on time. Your appointment start time is “ready-at-the-desk” time. If you’re late, your table time will be shortened; however, you’ll be expected to pay for the entire length of the reserved session.

There is a 24-hour cancellation policy. If less than 24-hour notice is provided, the entire session’s fee will be charged; please pay the fee at or before your next session.  Some sessions have a 48-hour cancellation notice (see Services page).

No-shows will be charged the entire amount for a missed appointment.

Stay home and cancel if you don’t feel well, have any symptoms of illness, or have been notified of recent COVID19 exposure.

Please wait at least one week after receiving any vaccine before scheduling.

Clients who repeatedly cancel and reschedule appointments will be blocked from using online scheduling.

Full payment is expected at your visit.  Pre-payment is available through the link provided in your appointment confirmation email.

There is a $25 fee for returned checks.

I accept cash, local checks, and most credit cards through Square.

Gift certificates, coupons, and vouchers must be presented at your scheduled appointment.

Please do not come to your appointment high, tipsy or drunk. I may refuse to work with you under these conditions.

Please do not bring pets to your appointment.

Please do not explore the yard or wander around the house.

Feel free to contact me directly by phone, email, text or contact form if you can’t find an appointment online, if your need is urgent, or you would like to be notified if I have a cancellation today.

If you’re not feeling well two--three days before your appointment, please cancel it then; do not “wait and see.” If you wake up ill the day of, please cancel as early as possible. Email, voicemail and an online contact form are available 24/7.

I can not massage bruises, varicose veins, poison ivy, shingles, swelling, open wounds, cuts, scrapes or burns.

Some medical conditions may require physician approval prior to receiving massage.  Please call to discuss at least one week in advance.

The door will be unlocked two-three minutes before your session.

Please allow for a minimum 90-minute cool-down between exercise and your massage session.

Please be sure to hydrate well and have a hearty snack or meal if you’ve had bloodwork or given blood before your session.

Unless you have an emergency situation, please turn off all phone sounds and wait until you’ve left the office to check your phone.
