To provide the best service and accommodate all clients, we require advance notice for any changes to your appointment. Our cancellation policy is as follows:

  • 24-Hour Notice: If you need to cancel or reschedule your appointment, please provide at least 24 hours' notice. Cancellations or rescheduling requests made less than 24 hours before your scheduled appointment time will incur a cancellation fee.

  • Cancellation Fee: Appointments cancelled with less than 24 hours' notice or missed appointments (no-shows) will be charged in full for the appointment. This fee is necessary to cover the time reserved for your session.

  • Emergency Cancellations: I understand that emergencies and unforeseen circumstances can arise. In such cases, please contact me as soon as possible to discuss your situation. I may waive the cancellation fee at my discretion for genuine emergencies.

  • Repeated Cancellations: Clients who repeatedly cancel or miss appointments may be required to prepay for future sessions to secure their appointment times.
