We understand that occasionally you will need to cancel or reschedule. Life happens. We are happy to cancel or reschedule your appointment if you notify us 24 hours prior to your appointment. Cancellations and re-scheduled sessions will be subject to 50% of the session fee if NOT RECEIVED AT LEAST 24 HOURS IN ADVANCE.
