Please take the time to read the terms of use that are applicable to the use of this Site and the content made available to you via this Site and our social media channels (“Terms”). These Terms together with our Privacy Policy apply to all Site visitors, subscribers, customers, and all other users of the Site (“user”, “you” and “your”).

INFORMATION REGARDING YOUR APPOINTMENT

Cancellation Policy

Your health and well-being are important to us. We understand that you may need to cancel or reschedule appointments due to unavoidable events. We ask that you understand that we are a small business with limited appointment times available. If necessary, we respectfully request that you cancel/reschedule your consultation at least 24 hours prior to your scheduled appointment (preferably more than 48 hours before).

A non-refundable 50% deposit (amount dependent on your appointment type; see Book Your Session) is required at the time of your booking. That is, should you cancel your appointment less than 24 hours before your session time, you will forfeit your deposit. Forfeiting the deposit is required to partly cover the cost of the missed appointment to our business. We appreciate your understanding. If you cancel your session more than 24 hours before the appointment time, the amount you have paid towards the consult (whether that is a deposit or the full amount) will be credited to your account to be used within six months from the date of the cancellation.

Please arrive on time to your appointment. If you are more than 10 minutes late to your appointment, we may not be able to commence your session due to back-to-back client bookings. In this case, the same cancellation fee will apply. If you do not show up for your appointment at all, the same cancellation fee will also apply.

By proceeding with your booking, you agree to our cancellation policy.

Appointment Fees

Please see Book Your Session for our most recent fee structure.

We aim to give clients as much notice as possible when there are changes to our fees or our fee structure, however, due to the nature of business, our costs may rise unexpectedly. Clients will be informed of fee changes via email, social media (Instagram, Facebook) or this Site.

We do not currently offer payment plans.

Payment Terms for Kinesiology & Spinal Flow Initial Consultation

You are also able to pay 100% of your consultation fee at the time of your booking, if you choose to do so.
