Reservation Policy

You can schedule an appointment directly through the appointment tab on my website or you can reach out to me directly through my contact form.

Cancellation Policy

I understand that obstacles occur that we cannot always plan for. That said if you need to cancel your appointment I request a 36 hour advanced notice and no less than 24. If there is a cancellation after this time frame and it is not due to an emergency or illness you will be charged for half of the service for regular treatments. If it is for a day spa retreat you will be charged the entire amount of the retreat price. If there are more than two consistent cancellations I will require a deposit to made to hold your appointment if you choose to book with me again.

Payment

I accept cash, check, or Venmo payments. I do not accept credit cards. When you book your appointment online you will be asked to provide your credit card information. I only charge this card on file if you are a no call /no show or if there is a late cancellation I will not be using it for payment for your service.

Checking In

My practice is located at Elkhaven Wellness in Brevard, NC. There is a waiting area at the front entrance of Elkhaven. I will meet you in the front waiting area at your scheduled time. In the event that you are running late please let me know ASAP. At times I can accommodate a late arrival but please know that I do have a full practice and it is important to be efficient with a start and end time.

Session Etiquette

During our time together I do my best to ensure that you feel welcome, safe, and empowered. Please respect these boundaries that I set forth so that we hold the highest integrity during our time together.

I will step out of the room for you to undress for each session that requires you to do so. Please do not begin to undress until I leave the room. I do not care how at ease you are with it. It violates the ethical boundary of my field and I ask that you respect this.

I will effectively drape your body so that the only area(s) that are uncovered are the area(s) that we are addressing. I always drape the chest during abdominal massage treatments. Please do not request to have your service performed without a proper drape. If you insist on this or do not respect this policy I will use my right to end the session and charge the full price of the session

During our time together I appreciate if conversation is kept to a minimum and ultimately I work best when we hold silence. During a healing arts treatment we are communicating at a very deep level and you will not get my best work if we are talking. I understand that there are times when processing needs to occur because of the work (especially during cranial treatments) but please be mindful of the difference between therapeutic processing and the mind taking over the ability to be present in the body. Trust me. You will get a better session from me every time if this is held.

I love to educate,listen,share and provide guidance and referrals to all my clients if they desire to do so. That said I do not have the availability in my schedule to have an extended processing session after our time together. I will not send anyone off if they have a question or need some clarity around the nature of the session. Please know that if you are in need of further support I can provide you with a referral to other practitioners or we can make an additional appointment for a flower essence consultation or a yogic and Ayurvedic wellness counselor session. You can also always reach out to me through the contact form on this webpage if you have any questions about supportive practices. I am respectful and honor our time together and I expect that you do the same for me.

During your session I do my best to provide you with an experience that is thoughtful and supportive and I am not a mind reader. If you are ever experiencing anything that does not feel supportive or is no longer therapeutic I ask that you advocate for yourself and speak up. The other side of that coin is I cannot fully drop into what I am capable of providing if you micro manage every aspect of our time together. If you need that level of involvement I might not be the therapist for you. I cannot emphasize this enough. I have many different ways to adapt a session if you are experiencing discomfort but I will not know if you need that if you do not inform me. Lastly, I know I am not for everyone. If you book with me and find that this is the case and you would prefer to end the session please let me know. I do not take it personally. I do ask that you do it respectfully and I will still charge for the time booked.
