Interaction Policy

 

My requirements of clients:

  • Sessions begin and end at scheduled times.  Sessions that begin late because the client arrived late end at the appointed time and are full price.
  • Be present (not under the influence of alcohol or drugs).
  • Clients provide a health history and update when necessary.
  • If cancellation is necessary, please give 24-hour notice or you are charged for the appointment unless it can be filled.  Emergency cancellations are determenined at the proactitioner's discretion.
  • Payment is expected at the time service is rendered.
  • Sexual harassment is not tolerated, and draping is required.  If the practitioner's safety feels compromised, the session is ended immediately.
  • Be clean, having showered the same day as the treatment.
  • Do not eat a heavy meal less than two hours prior to the treatment.

What clients can expect from me: 

  • I provide my clients with a competent and professional session each time they come for an appointment, addressing the client's specific needs for that session.
  • I am available to my clients during business hours, and clients may reach me on my cell phone any time.
  • I return calls within 24 hours unless I am out of town.
  • Clients are treated with respect and dignity.
  • I charge a fair price for my services.
  • Payment is due at the time of service unless other arrangements have been made prior to treatment.  I accept cash, checks and credit cards.
  • I do not provide direct billing for insurance.  I will gladly assist clients in filling out the appropriate forms.
  • I perform services for which I am qualified and able to do, and refer my clients to appropriate specialists when work is not within my scope of practice or not in the clients best interest.
  • I keep accurate records and review charts before each session.
  • I customize my treatment to meet the client's needs.
  • Privacy and confidentiality are maintained at all times.
  • If I need to cancel an appointment, I do so within 24 hours whenever possible.  If an emergency arises and I cannot keep an appointment, I provide a 50% discount on a client's next session.  For nonemergency cancellations of less than 24 hours, the next session is at no charge.
  • My equipment and supplies are clean and safe.
  • Clients are draped with a sheet or towel at all times during the session.  Only parts of the body being worked on are exposed at any time.
