What are the office policies that effect me? The client is responsible for the following:

1. To book the appointment;

2. To record the details of the appointment correctly, e.g. date and time;

3. To be on time;

4. To pay for the appointment at the time unless special payment arrangements have been made and agreed upon.

5. To provide a minimum of 24 business hours notice of cancellation, being aware of holidays and weekends. What we ask is that clients give as much advance notice as possible in order to allow for rescheduling and filling of the cancelled appointment.

6. If less than 24 hours notice of cancellation is given or if a session is missed, then there is a one-hour charge per missed session.
