If you are late for an appointment, I will try to accommodate you, schedule permitting. However, if the schedule does not allow for this type of accommodation, you will still be given the same time slot and your appointment will be shortened. For example, if you are 15 minutes late for an hour appointment, you will receive a 45 minute massage and you will be charged for the full hour.
A minimum of 24 hours notice is requested for cancellations. If less than 24 hours notice is given, you will be billed and expected to pay the full amount for the session.

I've scheduled a massage, now what should I expect?
At your initial visit, you will be asked to fill out a client intake form. It has a place to list any underlying medical conditions. The therapist should be aware of any of these. Even if you have an allergy to something in the oil the therapist uses, you should list this
After the form is completed your therapist will examine you for the root cause of your disorder by examining the tissues around the discomfort, and examining muscles nearby that might be implicated
Finally, your massage therapist will use myofascial release, trigger point therapy, muscle stripping, manual lymphatic drain, neuro muscular realignment and other techniques to address your condition.
