Planning Your Visit & Policies
Appointment Cancellations
If you are unable to make your scheduled appointment, please offer 24 hours notice. If you cancel within 24 hours of your scheduled time, you will be billed the cost of your session. Please call me at (203) 499-9076 (do not e-mail) should you need to cancel.
No-Shows
If you do not show up for your appointment, I will not be able to reschedule you until the full cost of the missed session is paid.
Health Intake Form
To ensure safe, customized sessions, you must fill out a health intake form before treatment. It is the client's responsibility to relay all health information so the therapist can modify the treatment plan where necessary. Click here to view the form.
Confidentiality
The client's records and sessions will be kept confidential and will not be shared with anyone without the client's written consent.
Arrival Time
Please arrive 5 minutes early for your appointment to get comfortable. If this is your first visit, please arrive 10 minutes early so that we have time to discuss the session. The time we set aside for your appointment is completely yours. If you are late to your session, you are missing out on your massage time. The session will end at the time scheduled and the full cost of the session is expected as the time was set aside for you.
Massage sessions are strictly non-sexual.
Any suggestive statements or actions will result in immediate termination of the session wherein the client pays the full cost of the session. Law enforcement will be notified if deemed appropriate.
Massage isn't always a good idea.
If a client presents with signs and/or symptoms of illness that contraindicate massage (fever, undiagnosed rash, contagious infection, etc.), the session will be rescheduled. This is to protect
the health of both the client and the therapist.
I'm not a doctor.
Massage is a therapeutic tool, but it is not a substitute for medical treatment. Massage therapists are not qualified to diagnose conditions, prescribe treatment or perform spinal/skeletal manipulations. Any information imparted by the therapist in the course of treatment should not be construed as such.
