 Inappropriate Behavior Policy

Massage Therapy/Foot Zone is for relaxation and therapeutic purposes only. THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO SEXUAL COMPONENT TO MASSAGE WHATSOEVER. Any insinuation, joke, gesture, conversation, or request otherwise will result in immediate termination of your session and a refusal of ANY and ALL services in the future. You will be charged the full service fee regardless of the length of your session. Depending on the behavior exhibited we may also file a report with the local authorities if necessary. Treat your therapist with respect and dignity and you will be treated the same in return.

We respectfully ask that you provide us with a 48 hour notice of any schedule changes or cancellation requests. Please understand that when you cancel or miss your appointment without providing more than a 48 hour notice we are often unable to fill that appointment time. This is an inconvenience to your therapist and also means our other clients miss the chance to receive the services they need. For this reason, If you cancel within the 48-hours before your appointment you are asked to pay the 50% of service fee. ( Example: if your appointment is on Wednesday at 9am, and you call Monday at 12  pm to cancel, then you are expected to pay 50% of the service fee).

No-Show No Call

Not showing up for an appointment without proper notification will result in an automatic 100% of service fee.

 We also reserve the right to require a credit card number to be given to book future appointments so that appropriate fees may be charged if a late cancellation does occur. 

We understand that emergencies can arise and illness do occur at inopportune times. IF you have a FEVER, a known infection, or have experienced vomiting or diarrhea within 24 hours prior to your appointment time, we REQUEST THAT YOU CANCEL your session. Inclement weather may also result in the need for cancellations. We will do our best to give advanced notice if we are closing or need to cancel due to bad weather and we ask you to do the same. Please DO NOT risk your own safety trying to make your appointment,. Late cancellations due to emergency, illness, or inclement weather will generally not result in any missed session charges but this is determined on a case-by-case basis.

We request that you arrive 5-10 minutes prior to your appointment time to allow time to fill out any required paperwork as well as answer any intake question your therapist may have. We understand that issues can arise that may cause you to be late for your appointment. However, we ask that you call to inform us if this ever occurs so we can do our best to accommodate you. Appointment times are reserved for each client. So oftentimes we cannot exceed that reserved time without making the next client late. For this reason, arriving after you appointment time may result in loss of time from you massage/Foot zone so that your session ends at the scheduled time. Full service fees will be charged even when sessions are shortened due to late arrival. In return we will do our best to be on time, and if we are unable to do so we will add time to your session to make up for OUR late arrival or adjust the service charge accordingly.

BY SIGNING BELOW, [in your intake forms] you agree that you have read the above statements, procedures, liabilities, and policies. You also agree to abide by the above policies.
