By booking an appointment you are agreeing to the following:
Policy Notification
Thank you for choosing I Kneaded That! as your massage and bodywork provider. In order to provide the best service possible to our clients, we have implemented the following policies:
Cancellation & No Show Policy
We require at least 24 hours notice to cancel an appointment. Clients who cancel an appointment with less than 24 hours notice will be billed 50% of the price of the scheduled service. Clients who do not show up for a scheduled appointment or notify us in advance will be billed for the full price of the scheduled service. We understand that emergencies and illnesses can arise, therefore last minute cancellations due to things such as verifiable emergencies, illnesses or inclement weather will
generally not result in any missed session charges, however this is to be determined at the
practitioner’s discretion.
Late Arrival Policy
All scheduled appointments will end at the scheduled ending time in order for us to stay on schedule. Clients who arrive late to their scheduled appointment will be charged for the full session and will not receive a time extension. For your first appointment, please arrive 20 minutes prior to your scheduled appointment time to allow time to complete the Client Intake Form. For all other appointments, please arrive 10 minutes before your scheduled appointment time to allow time to undress and get on the table to enjoy a relaxed and unhurried experience.
Massage Termination
Clients will be appropriately draped with a sheet and/or towel at all times during their massage. Only areas of the body that are currently being treated will be exposed. The breast and genital areas will always remain draped and are never massaged.
Draping Policy
Only professional massage and bodywork services for relaxation or therapeutic purposes are offered at this massage practice. Massage services will be terminated immediately in the event of inappropriate conduct of any kind. This includes harassment, threatening speech or behavior, sexual advances or requests, or disrespectful actions or language. A session will not be conducted if the client is under the influence of drugs or alcohol. If the massage is terminated for any of these reasons, full payment for the scheduled session is still required.
Booking an appointment indicates that you have read, fully understand and will abide by the massage policies as listed above.
