Appointment Health & Office Policies

Your health and comfort are my top priorities. To ensure a safe and respectful environment, please review the following guidelines before your session:

Do not attend if you have any contagious or infectious condition (cold, flu, strep, conjunctivitis, stomach virus, etc.).
You must be fully symptom-free before returning for treatment.
If you’re unsure whether you should come in, please call or text me.

Rescheduling & Cancellations

Appointments must be rescheduled or canceled at least 24 hours in advance to avoid forfeiting your session.
No-shows will be charged the full session rate.
Late arrivals may result in a shortened session, but full payment is still required.

Prepaid sessions, series, and gift certificates never expire and may be transferred once to another individual.

The treatment room and equipment are thoroughly sanitized between each appointment.

Adolescents (17 and under) must be accompanied by a parent/guardian, who must remain in the treatment room.
A current medical intake form must be completed prior to your session.

Risk Acknowledgment

Massage and bodywork involve close physical contact, which carries a small but unavoidable risk of exposure to illness. By booking an appointment, you acknowledge this risk and consent to treatment.

Important Notes

Massage/bodywork is not a substitute for medical treatment or diagnosis.
If you suspect injury or illness requiring medical care, please consult a physician first.
