Policies & Agreements : Cancellations, Informed Consent, Respect & Boundaries
 

When booking, you agree to the following information...

​

ALL appointments are subject to the following policies:

Rescheduling: Sometimes life likes to throw you the occasional curveball, it happens.  In an effort to be equitable and fair to all clients, if you need to reschedule your appointment we do require minimum 24 hrs notice to give someone else the opportunity to book an appointment. Appointments are non-transferable. If you cannot give 24 hours notice you will be charged the full session amount. Cancellations must be notified by phone 541-819-0824 OR email blissfulbeingwellness@gmail.com

​

No Show: If you forget or consciously choose not to show up to your appointment, you are considered a “no show” and will be charged the full amount of the session and asked to prepay your next appointment. 

 

Late Arrivals: In the event of a late arrival, depending on how late, your session may be cut short to accommodate those clients coming in after you.  If you arrive more than 15 minutes late without prior communication by phone or email, your appointment will have been considered a "no show." If we determine that there is not enough time to accommodate your session, a rescheduling fee will apply and must be paid prior to rescheduling an appointment.

​

Sanitization protocol: Client agrees to inform therapist/instructor of any potential exposure of symptoms of illness. Therapist/instructor will keep clean hands and thoroughly sanitizes the space before and after each client/class in-line with Oregon state laws and statutes. HEPA/UV filter will be running throughout the session.

​

Scents & Sensitivities: For those who may be scent sensitive, please be sure to not wear any strong perfumes or essential oils. Additionally, We request that you please avoid use of tobacco prior to treatment, thank you!
 

**Please note: These policies are in place to observe a mutual respect for one another’s time.  While a missed appointment may not be a big deal to you, We urge you to remember that this time has been set aside, specifically for you, and only you.  This is a small business, run by a young entrepreneur with self-employed individuals, and this is how we make a living and provide for our families. Missed appointments result in missed income resulting in unexpected hitches in our financial ability to provide for ourselves. Thank you for your understanding!
