Policies

What clients can expect from me:

  1. I provide my clients with a competent and professional service each time they come for an appointment, addressing each client’s specific needs for that session.
  2. I return calls/emails within 24 hours unless my outgoing message says differently.
  3. Clients are treated with respect and dignity
  4. I perform services for which I am qualified, and I refer clients to appropriate specialists when the work is beyond my scope of practice.
  5. I keep accurate records and review charts before each session.
  6. I respect all clients regardless of their age, gender, race, national origin, sexual orientation, religion, socioeconomic status, body type, political affiliation, or state of health.
  7. If I need to cancel an appointment, I do so within 24 hours whenever possible. If an emergency arises and I cannot keep an appointment, I provide a 50% discount on a client’s next session. For non-emergency cancellations of less than 24 hours, there is no charge for a client’s next session.
  8. My equipment and supplies are clean and safe.
  9. Personal and professional boundaries are respected at all times.
  10. Clients are draped with a sheet at all times during the session. Only the part of the body being worked is exposed. Genitals are never exposed or massaged.

What I expect of my clients:

  1. Sessions begin and end at scheduled times. Session which start late due to the client arriving late end at the appointed time and are full price.
  2. Be present and not under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
  3. Clients provide a health history and update whenever necessary.
  4. If cancellation is necessary, please give 24 hour/“night before” notice to avoid being charged full price for the appointment. Emergency cancellations are determined on a case-by-case basis at the therapist’s discretion.
  5. Payment is expected at the time service is rendered.
  6. Out-call appointments: if a client does not arrive within 15 minutes after the scheduled time, s/he is charged for the appointment and the session will end on time.
  7. Sexual harassment is not tolerated. Compromising therapist’s safety is not tolerated.
  8. Be clean, having showered or bathed on same day as treatment.
  9. Do not eat a heavy meal less than two hours prior to treatment.
