1. LOCATION & HOURS:
Gary's general availability: Mon-Thur: 11am til 5:30 pm Fri: 11am til 5 pm Sat: 11am til 4 pm Sun: Closed |
|
2. CANCELLATIONS & NO SHOWS:
- A 72 HOUR advanced notice is required for all NEW CLIENTS when canceling an appointment. Since Gary spends more time with a new client, these appointments are more difficult to schedule/reschedule if needed. The 72 hour notice gives other clients a better opportunity to retain Gary's services. **Regular & Weekly clients please see Gary regarding this policy.
- If you do not give advanced notice of cancellation for your scheduled session you will be charged the full amount of what would have been your treatment fee. This charge must be paid in full prior to your next treatment or you will be refused treatments until fee is paid.
- If a gift certificate or promotional voucher is being used as payment for your appointment, and you fail to give advance cancellation notice, that gift certificate will become null and void
- NO SHOWS: Anyone who either forgets or consciously chooses to forgo their appointment for whatever reason will be considered a 'No-Show'. They will be charged for their missed appointment and future service will be denied until payment is made.
- ONGOING RESCHEDULES: excessive/consistent rescheduling, even with advanced notice as stated above, can result in denial of future appointments and or loss of sessions that will need to be paid in full to resume scheduling. So please, when scheduling, be absolutely certain you are picking a date/time that you can show up and be on time for.
- TEXT REMINDERS: Gary's booking system automatically sends out text reminders for your scheduled appointment.
DO NOT RESPOND to these as they are 'one-way' reminders only

3. ARRIVING LATE:
It is advised to be 5 minutes early to your scheduled appointment, (10 minutes) if you are a first time client. If you are not present for your scheduled session during the first 10 minutes of your scheduled time (unless having telephoned Gary you might be late), you will be considered a 'No-Show'. Depending upon how late you arrive, Gary will then determine if there is enough time remaining to start your session...and regardless of the length of the treatment actually given, you will be responsible for payment of the full session..

8. NEW CLIENT? WHAT TO EXPECT:
Please be aware that Gary's practice is not your traditional conveyor belt massage business. As a Holistic Health Practitioner he is dedicated to helping you improve the quality of your daily well being. His style of work is consistent with techniques commonly found throughout southeast Asia and is considered to be more 'Bodywork with Energy Balancing' as opposed to the massage styles typically experienced here in the United States. Be prepared for an active session that includes a lot of stretching, compression and point work as well as moving energy through the body.
Typically your first session will probably not be what you are used to. Gary performs his services professionally and in line with spa like treatments, however your first session will be more interactive than just the bodywork.
During your first session, Gary may explore many topics that effect your everyday level of physical/mental comfort. Subjects may include family history, current medical health issues, sleep patterns, supplement intake, hydration, exercise habits and anything that may be relevant to improving your current state of well-being. This allows Gary to determine the best way to work with your particular set of circumstances and to offer you better options regarding any imbalances or issues that you may be experiencing.
Subsequent sessions are progressive (always building upon the last) and will go deeper into the techniques to better help alleviate issues for the long term.
Gary uses several modalities and has developed his own style of work that uses a general rhythmic sequence in most sessions for an overall balanced approached. When a particular part of the body is not cooperating then Gary will often switch techniques and use a different approach to help any stagnation along.
Gary's primary goal is to help you become more empowered about your health and well-being so that you may eliminate any unnecessary dependence on future Health Care/Healing practitioners and situations.
