- Appointments are either 1 hour, 1 hour 15 minutes or 1hr 30 minutes . After Covid risks are reduced, shorter and longer appointments will be available again.

- Payment at time of booking. Sorry, no cash payments until further notice due to COVID. - you will be given prepayment options - either online, over phone with card reader or direct deposit.

- You can book on the Book Now page book by phone, email or text - no in person bookings or walk-ins.

- Gift voucher purchases can be made online either in the 'book now' section or gift voucher page. Just include a note of your Gift voucher recipient name and any message you would like to include.

- Cancellation and change deadlines are reduced to 1 hours notice for most therapies - heated therapies require longer preparation/cancellation times - 6-24 hr notice.

- Each appointment requires more set up and clean up time before and after than normal. There will therefore be 30 minutes in between each appointment to allow for complete COVID sanitisation of everything clients have been in contact with.

- Arrive promptly: Please try to arrive a couple of minutes before your appointment, not over 10 minutes early or late.

- Windows will be open and the therapy room will be open with a screen over it - to increase ventilation for COVID management. There will not be any other people in the building, so there will not be any disturbance from the shop area with the therapy room door open.

- If you arrive for your appointment more than 10 minutes late and there is another booking after yours, your appointment will most likely have to be cancelled or rescheduled. If this happens there may be a cancellation fee of up to 100%.

- No shows will most likely incur 100% cancellation fee.

- I will be prioritising bookings for clients who have missed appointments the past few months due to covid lock down, and recent queries for new bookings.

- You are not required to wear a mask during appointments, but if you are comfortable doing so I recommend this.

- Please use the hand sanitiser at the door when you enter.

- Please bring your own water to keep hydrated before and after your appointment.

- If you use the toilet facilities please wash your hands after, and also put down the toilet seat before you flush to minimise airborne germ transmission.

- When booking, I will send you a consultation form which includes all COVID awareness and consent requirements. I will also send consent form for Track and Trace requirements - it is not a requirement to consent to having your personal details shared with Track and trace but I will have to hold a record of your appointment for 28 days.

- updates to these terms will be posted on social media, google page and on this website.

All the best to you, look after each other, please enjoy our beautiful city, the birds and the beautiful weather - and hopefully see you soon!

many thanks,
