Policies
It is my intention to provide each client with an ethical and professional and therapeutic massage that is directed towards addressing individual needs and goals. The following policies serve to protect you the client and me as the therapist to ensure a safe and comfortable environment for all.
Cancellation Policy
When we reserve an appointment for you, there are three people involved: you, the practitioner and another client waiting for an open appointment. We require 24 hours notice should you for any reason need to reschedule or cancel your appointment. We do understand that sometimes life gets in the way. Should you be unable to give 24 hours notice, we may ask you to prepay future sessions.
Privacy Policy
As a health care provider I must collect a certain amount of personal information from you in order to safely treat you. It is extremely important that this information be collected responsibly and that it only be disclosed to other individuals under appropriate circumstances. All of your information will be handled professionally within the guidelines of HIPAA, and your personal information will never be provided to anyone outside the clinic for marketing or any other purposes.
Timing of Session
Session times will account for intake(5min) and recovery(5min). You may expect 50 minutes hands on time in a typical 60 minute session and etc. First time clients please arrive 15 minutes previous to your scheduled time to ensure accurate intake information is gathered. You may also take the opportunity to download the intake form from the New Client Forms tab to expedite this process. Please be aware that if you are running late, your session may be shortened in order to maintain the scheduled order of clients and you will be responsible for the full session fee.
Scope of Practice
Massage Therapists do not diagnose or prescribe for medical conditions nor are they allowed to provide treatment for a specific condition without a doctor's supervision. The massage therapist is required to refer you for diagnosis and to follow recommendations of your physician. Certain conditions may be contraindicated for massage therapy which is why it is important for the client to fill out an initial health history and keep the therapist informed of any changes in your health or existing conditions.
Minimum Age Requirement
Anyone under the age of 18 may not receive a massage without a parent or legal guardian present throughout the therapy session.
