Policies & Cancellations
Enter the treatment room ready for treatment. This means having your mobile phone off or on silent and having already changed clothes, if needed. Quietly choose your spot and get comfortable. There’s space under the chairs/tables for small valuables, but please leave any bulky or noisy items in the cubbies in the reception area. If you have something big and valuable, you may ask the front desk worker to hold it behind the desk for you.
We’ll have notes and will likely remember the details, but please tell us how you’ve felt since your last treatment and what you are experiencing now. Be as specific and direct as you can, and let us know if your priorities in terms of treatment have changed. We’ll ask questions if appropriate.
If you need headphones, earplugs, or a favorite blanket, feel free to bring them.
Please do not expect us to diagnose or treat a life-threatening condition. We can effectively provide care for many conditions, but we are not medical doctors and do not provide primary care.
