• Appointments can be scheduled using the online booking system. Sessions are by appointment only (no walk-ins).

• A valid credit card is required to reserve your appointment time. This card can be used for streamlined payment at time of service. This card will be charged in the event of a no-show or late cancellation. See our Cancellation + No Show policy below for details.

• Payment is due at the time of service and can be made via credit/debit card, cash, or gift card.

• Session times: If clients arrive late, they will receive whatever time remains of their appointment, and they are still responsible for paying the full session fee.

• Intake forms: Please promptly fill out your intake forms (linked in your initial confirmation email). You will receive the link when you make your first appointment.

24 Hours’ Notice Required

We require at least 24 hours’ notice for any cancellation or rescheduling.

Late-Cancellation/No-Show Policy

Clients agree to be charged a late cancellation fee of $65 to their card on file for their first late-cancel/no-show. This fee will increase to full price of service if it happens more than once.

• If you are sick, contact your therapist directly by 8:00 AM on the day of your appointment to waive the fee. Therapist contact information is in your confirmation and reminder email.

Appointment Reminders

Our booking system will send you automatic reminders via email and SMS/text at these intervals before your appointment:

• 48 hours prior (so that you have time to reschedule without incurring fees)

• 2 hours prior

Although we send these reminders as a courtesy, it is ultimately up to you to remember your appointment.

Do not receive massage when you are sick! From the common cold to IBS or anything in between, being sick can't be helped by massage. Let your therapist know ASAP if you are not well, and reschedule.

Contagious Symptoms

Please reschedule if you are experiencing any of the following symptoms, even if mild:

• Fever, sore throat, sneezing, or coughing

• Itchy throat, nose, or eyes

• COVID, cold, flu, or other contagious respiratory conditions

• An allergy flare-up

• Contagious dermatology issues (skin rash, weeping blisters, lice, athlete’s foot, etc.)

Fees can be waived for late-cancellation due to illness if you let your therapist know by 8:00 am on the day of your appointment.

However, if you arrive to your appointment with contagious symptoms, your session will be canceled, and you will be charged the late-cancellation fee.

General Health Conditions

You should not receive a massage if you are experiencing any of the following conditions:

• Any active inflammatory disease affecting blood vessels

• Diabetes with active complications

• Nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, or extreme gastrointestinal distress

• Severe, unexplained pain in abdomen or legs, or diagnosed blood clots

• Throbbing headache or migraine

• Pitting edema

Intake Forms

Intake forms are linked in your initial confirmation email. Fill it out as soon as you get it. Otherwise, we’ll need to take time out of your session for you to fill them out.

No Fragrances

Please arrive to your appointment clean and fragrance-free. This includes perfume, lotion, essential oils, hair products, smoke odors, body odors, etc. Please do not smoke immediately before your appointment.

Guests

You are welcome to bring a loved one with you to your appointment, if you wish. During your session, your guest can relax in the waiting room or enjoy one of the nearby cafes or restaurants in the heart of Montavilla.

Children are welcome to stay in the treatment room but must be able to quietly entertain themselves in order to maintain the therapeutic environment for everyone in the building. (Babies are welcome!)

Communicating Your Needs

To receive the best session possible, you must communicate your needs, preferences, requests, or feedback to your massage therapist at any time before, during, or after your appointment.

Tell your therapist right away if you feel unwell, uncomfortable, or distracted so that adjustments can be made.

Your therapist wants your honest feedback (positive or negative) so that they can create the best possible session for YOU.

Appropriate Conduct

Don’t be a creep. Comments, requests, or conduct of a romantic or sexual nature are not tolerated and will result in immediate ending of the session. You will be responsible for paying the full session fee. You will not be allowed to rebook. We will press charges for any threatening or illegal behavior.

Not Honoring These Policies

We reserve the right to cancel, reschedule, or stop any session at any time, for reasons including but not limited to:

• Clients or their guests show signs of intoxication (including alcohol or other substances).

• Safety concerns arise for client or therapist.

• Distractions are preventing client from being fully present during the session.

• Clients or their guests are not abiding by our policies.

Clients whose appointments are cancelled, stopped, or rescheduled for not abiding by our policies will be charged the full session fee. Insurance-based appointments will be charged $180 (our billing rate).
