Policies:

• 24-hours notice is required to cancel or reschedule any appointment. In the event of an emergency, please call me directly (707) 861-0113.

• Cancellations made with less than 24 hours notice will result in the payment of 50% of the service price if the appointment cannot be filled. I understand that emergencies happen. The fee will be waived on a case-by case basis.

• A no-show will result in the full appointment fee.

• If tardy, time may be taken from your hour.

• Times when massage isn't beneficial: If a client presents with signs and/or symptoms of illness that contraindicate massage (fever, undiagnosed rash, contagious infection), the session will be re-scheduled. This is to protect the health of both the client and the therapist. If you are feeling ill or are unsure if massage is appropriate, contact your therapist.
