Policies Updated 8/26/2024
- Massage is a close contact therapy. If you have had a fever in the past week or have not been feeling well in any way. - Please see a doctor
Even beyond Covid, communicable illness is a very serious thing. I do not work when I have a cold. There are some illnesses that would prevent me from working for 2+ weeks. We are all responsible for each other (and the earth, but that's another conversation).
- If you have recently had a a sudden muscle injury or intense pain anywhere on your body, and that is why you're seeking massage, please see a doctor first.
Massage can exacerbate inflammation from sickness or injury and cause further injury.
Although I am pretty informed about muscle health and overall wellness, I am not a doctor. I cannot assess or diagnose injury or illness.
- You may end the massage session at any time for any reason. Including simply not enjoying the treatment.
- I may require a doctor's note acknowledging massage is safe for your health if you are being seen regularly for cardiovascular issues, autoimmune, cancer, and other conditions.
- If in the event I refuse service for lack of requested doctor's note or you arrive to your appointment sick or unfit for the appointment, it will be considered a no-show appointment. You will be turned away and charged for the appointment.
- If in the event I refuse service or end a session because of any inappropriate behavior, language, insinuation, direct or indirect sexual solicitation, you will be charged full price (non-discounted) for the appointment and you will be banned from booking with me again.
- I do not work with people under the age of 18. My office does not have the space to accommodate supervision of a minor for treatment. Supervision of minors is required in Massachusetts.
- Children are not allowed to wait in the waiting room while you yourself receive treatment. Seriously. If you wouldn't leave them at home unsupervised, you cannot leave them in the waiting room unsupervised.
- Cancellation policy: Cancellation within 24 hours will be charged $25. No Call No Shows will be charged 100% or prevented from booking with me again.
- If I do not have your credit card on file in the event of a late cancellation or no-show appointment, you will receive an invoice and you will not be allowed to schedule until the invoice is paid.
- Stay Hydrated. Talk to your doctor about proper hydration and what your liquid intake should be.
- Be willing to learn to be easy on yourself. Healing and wellness is literally a life long relationship with your body. Kindness always always goes a long way in your relationship with yourself.
