A Little Note on Session Durations:
30min. sessions are only available to clients who need several massages a week to work on a particular chronic or acute issue.
A full body massage takes minimum 60min. If you have a particular issue, physical ache or pain we need to focus on, a 60min. session will ussually not allow enough time to do a full body massage AND work on a particular issue. So if you have a particular complaint/challenge you have the option of mostly working on that area during a 60min session,  or schedule a 90 min session to assure we have enough time to do both a full body massage and address a particular issue. Please, keep this in mind when you schedule your appointment.

Client Loyalty Rewards Program
If you come in at least once a month your session will be reduced $5. If you come in at least once a week you will receive another extra $5 discount!
This is to reward you for your loyalty to me and your commitment to your well-being. Massage therapy is a wholesome way to improve and maintain your health and wellness. The benefits of massage therapy are extensive. It is optimal to receive a massage at least once a month. So hopefully this program will be the necessary incentive for you to get regular massages, versus only when you’re in pain… Health-care vs. damage-control.
 
Payment Methods
Cash and checks only. Please make all checks payable to Wholesome Life Llc.. Thank you!
 
Missed Appointments
There is a 24-hour cancellation policy, meaning that I ask that you give 24 hours notice in order to cancel an appointment. If that notice is not given, payment is expected for that appointment. This policy is also mentioned on the consent form you sign when you come in for your first visit.

Sometimes people seem startled by the policy, so let me take a moment to explain this issue. When you make an appointment, that time is set-aside for you exclusively. When other people call for an appointment, they're turned away from your time, because you have it reserved. If you forget your appointment or decide to cancel at the last moment, that is a time we could have given to someone else.
So I am directly affected financially, and very often there is someone who needed to be seen but couldn't get booked. Think of it like when you buy tickets to a concert or a play: if you miss the event for whatever reason, you don't expect your money back. You reserved the seat, so the ticket couldn't be sold to someone else.
This is why I ask you to be responsible for the appointments you make. If however, you don't give the requested 24 hours notice to cancel, but I happen to be able to book someone else in to that space, you will not be billed.
 
However, if you are ill with a contagious condition (like a cold or the flu), a fever or acute inflammation you need to cancel your appointment and reschedule after you have recovered completely for a minimum of three days. This is out of consideration of your and my own health, as well as the well-being of my other clients. It is not recommended to receive a massage during the acute stage of an illness. It could cause a local infection to go systemic and interfere with the healing process all together.
 
Health History and Intake Form
You will need to fill in an intake form. This is for your safety and well-being, and to understand your needs and goals. This information will be kept on file and is confidential. It is your responsibility to inform the health care provider of any changes in your health status when they occur. You also need to be aware that certain conditions or symptoms, certain products or techniques may be contraindicated for massage therapy and/or require a referral from your physician prior to services being rendered.
 
Draping
The client will be properly draped at all times, in a way that ensures the safety, comfort and privacy of the client.
 
If there are any inappropriate sexual comments, requests and/or gestures, the session will be terminated and the client will be expected to pay the full amount for the entire scheduled session.
