Cancellation and Rescheduling?

Our Cancellation and Rescheduling Policy aims to provide a fair and efficient framework for both our clients and our business. We require cancellations to be made a minimum of 78-24 hours in advance of a scheduled session to allow us sufficient time to reassign the slot to another client. Cancellations made within this time frame will not incur any fees. However, cancellations within 78 hours of the scheduled session will result in a 50% session fee charge. We understand that unforeseen circumstances may arise, but this policy ensures that we can maintain our commitment to all clients and continue to deliver the highest quality of service. Your understanding and cooperation in adhering to this policy are greatly appreciated, as it helps us maintain a smooth and fair scheduling process for all. If you have any questions or need further clarification, please don't hesitate to contact us. Thank you for choosing our services, and we look forward to assisting you in your journey.
