POLICIES-Client/therapist expectations/boundaries

When you arrive for your first appointment, you will be required to fill out a brief intake form and sign the policies page as seen below.
If you’d like to save time for when you arrive, you may download, print, and sign both -- the intake form and this policy page and bring it with you on your first appointment. Otherwise, you may fill both out at my office..

Policies

Cancellations- As a professional courtesy, I require 24 hours notice if you need to cancel or reschedule. This may be waived in the case of illness, inclement weather or extreme emergency. Less than 24 hours, there is a $30 charge which will be collected at your next scheduled appointment time. Likewise, if I need to cancel with less than 24 hours notice, I will add 20 minutes to your next scheduled, paid appointment. “Repeat offenders” will be required to prepay for their appointment. Your consideration and respectfulness is much appreciated!
Referrals- My business grows through your referrals. To show my appreciation, each time you refer someone to me, you will receive an additional free 30 minutes to your paid appointment of 60 minutes or longer.
Payment- Cash payment only. I apologize for any inconvenience, but due to less scrupulous folks, I am unable to take the risk of returned checks. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Gift Certificates—May be redeemed at Maple Ave. location only. Six-month expiration from time of purchase.

Arrival- Please arrive 5 minutes before your appointment so that your session may begin on time, and to allow for traffic.

Intake/History Form- Every client will fill out an intake form/history on the first visit. It is the client’s responsibility to keep the therapist updated on any changes in health. Information is strictly confidential.
Water- It is STRONGLY recommended that you drink at least 2- 8oz. glasses of water within an hour after your massage, preferably more in the subsequent hours. This should prevent the possibility of feeling tired or sore or any other possible after effects of massage.
Cologne/Fragrances- Please refrain from wearing perfume or cologne prior to your massage appointment due to possible allergies of other clients as well as your therapist.
Jewelry- Please remove jewelry before your massage, especially necklaces and dangling earrings. I can massage around rings.
Termination of massage-Client understands that this service is strictly non-sexual and non-sensual in nature, and that any illicit or sexually suggestive remarks or gestures will result in the IMMEDIATE termination of massage session. Client also understands that massage cannot be provided if he/she is intoxicated. It is required to pay for the session in full.
