Cancellation Policy

 

At Chi BioEnergetic Healing, I understand that unforeseen circumstances can arise in life. In my commitment to maintaining fairness and efficiency for all clients as well as myself, I have established the following policies:

 

Appointment Reminders: A helpful email reminder will be sent 72 hours prior to your scheduled appointment, followed by a text reminder 48 hours in advance. Please note that the text reminder serves as your final opportunity to cancel without incurring a fee.

 

Cancellation Notice:  Your appointment time is exclusively set aside for you. A late cancellation or missed visit creates a gap in the therapists' schedule that could have been utilized by another patient. To ensure fair scheduling and adequate compensation for our therapists, we kindly request a minimum of 48 hours advance notice for any appointment cancellations. Patients who give 48 to 24 hours notice will incur a $150 cancellation fee. For cancellations made 24 hours or less notice, 75% of the treatment cost will be collected.  Cancellations day of, tthe full rate will be collected.  Late cancellation fees will be charged to the credit card on file. We appreciate your cooperation and understanding.

 

No-Shows: Clients who miss their scheduled appointments without prior notice will be considered "no-shows." A fee of 100% of the treatment cost will be applied to compensate for the missed appointment.

 

Late Arrivals: If you arrive late for your session, please understand that the duration of your treatment may need to be shortened to accommodate other clients with subsequent appointments. Your therapist will evaluate the remaining time and determine if a full treatment can still be provided. Regardless of the actual length of the treatment, the payment for the originally scheduled session will be required. I kindly request that you plan accordingly and arrive on time as a gesture of respect towards your therapist and fellow clients.

 

I appreciate your understanding and cooperation with these policies. It is my utmost pleasure to serve you, and we look forward to providing you with exceptional care at Chi BioEnergetic Healing.

Covid Protocol 

 

At Chi BioEnergetic Therapy, my utmost priority lies in maintaining a safe and conducive environment for bodywork, health, and wellness. As part of our commitment to implementing the Chi Massage Method, I diligently adhere to all government and CDC mandates, directives, and guidelines. Moreover, we have implemented several additional measures to enhance your sense of safety and relaxation during your time on the massage table.  In addition to fulfilling the legal requirements, I go the extra mile by thoroughly sanitizing the oil bottles, oil bottle holsters, and every component of the face cradle after each client. These items are then set aside and not used again for a minimum of 24 hours. These additional precautions are designed to optimize your comfort and peace of mind throughout the entirety of your massage experience.

 

Rest assured that when you visit Chi BioEnergetic Therapy you can trust that your health and well-being are our top priorities.

 

 

Sincerely,

 

Brent Kee
