Terms & cancellation
Last updated August 24, 2026
These terms apply to every session. Booking an appointment means accepting them. They are written plainly on purpose: everyone does better when the terms are known in advance rather than discovered on the day.
What is being booked
You are booking a fixed length of time — sixty, ninety or one hundred and twenty minutes, or longer by arrangement — of professional bodywork. The fee is for that time and for the attention and skill brought to it. Nothing else is being purchased, and nothing further is available for any additional sum.
Non-solicitation
Intercourse and oral sex are not offered and are not available at any price. Sessions are consent-led bodywork between adults. Draping is available throughout and is entirely your choice.
Asking a question about scope is not offensive and will be answered plainly. Continuing to press after an answer, or any conduct that is coercive or aggressive, or arriving visibly intoxicated, ends the session immediately with the full fee due and no refund. There is no second warning and no negotiation about this.
Consent
Consent is continuous and spoken. You will be asked, and you will be checked in with. You may withdraw consent to any part of a session, or to the whole of it, at any moment, without giving a reason — the fee is unaffected either way, and the time is not shortened as a penalty.
The practitioner may also end a session at any point. That is part of the same agreement and is not a punishment; it is what makes the rest of it real.
Eligibility
- You must be 18 or older.
- Please arrive freshly showered.
- Please disclose injuries, recent surgery, skin conditions, pregnancy, or anything else that affects what is safe.
- A short intake form is completed before a first session.
Booking, deposits and payment
- A $50 deposit confirms the appointment.
- The deposit is paid by Zelle or Venmo when the booking is made.
- Balance due at the time of the session — cash, Zelle or Venmo.
- Gift cards are available for any session or any amount, and do not expire.
Cancellation and lateness
- More than 24 hours' notice: the deposit carries over to another date.
- Less than 24 hours, or a no-show: the deposit is retained, because the time was held and cannot be filled.
- Running late: the session still ends at its scheduled time. The full fee applies.
- If the practitioner cancels: the deposit is refunded in full, or moved, whichever you prefer.
- Genuine emergencies are handled reasonably. Say what happened.
Privacy
Your identity and your visit are not discussed with anyone. Inquiries are deleted once they have been dealt with, and no client list is kept. The privacy notice sets out the detail.
Health and limits of the service
This is not medical treatment, physiotherapy, psychotherapy or a substitute for any of them, and nothing offered here is a diagnosis or a course of treatment. If you have a medical or psychological condition that may be affected, speak to a qualified clinician first.
