Overview
Read through the below and when you are ready to make an appointment, email or text me with your preferred day, and time of day - i.e. mornings, early or late afternoons, or early evenings. I will then come back to you with some options. I respond via email within 24 - 48 hours and via text a lot quicker. Note that appointments are on a first come - first serve basis, so if you take awhile to respond, proposed openings are not guaranteed to be available.

Weekend Booking Policy
In order to offer appointments seven days a week, while also preserving essential personal time, I have a few scheduling stipulations.
​
Weekend appointments may tentatively be booked in advance; however, they are only confirmed within one week of the appointment date (i.e., the weekend before).
​
This allows me to finalize my personal schedule, while also ensuring mutual commitment and minimizing last-minute changes that can significantly impact weekend planning. When I reach out during that one-week window, I will confirm the appointment from my end and ask for your reconfirmation before it is fully secured.

Preparation
HAIR MAKE-UP BEARDS
Protocol
Women
-
Unwashed hair is usually preferable, as experience is better, though it is also possible to work around clean hair.
-
I will​ be removing all makeup, however if you prefer to keep eyeliner and/or mascara on, this would be fine.
Men
-
Either shave the morning of, or keep a minimum 3 day old beard (or longer) as 1 to 2 day growth is not ideal - techniques would be limited
Arriving
ADDRESS RECEPTION TIMING
Logistics
Address
-
On Peacock Rd in Rhinebeck off route 9G - shortly before/after route 308.
-
5 Minutes from Rhinebeck Villiage.
-
Full address after appointment has been confirmed.
-
A mini video will be included in your text reminder, showing house entrance, parking in driveway and pathway around to reception.
Reception
-
Address is residential, with a signed pathway around back of house that leads to reception, where I will meet you.
-
When snow is on ground, entrance will be via main front door.
-
In this instance, you will be notified in your reminder text.
Timing
-
Car journeys are difficult to time precisely, so give yourself a 20min arrival window to play with: 10min before to 10min after your appointment time.
-
The 90 minutes is all hands on, so if you are meeting someone afterwards, or being dropped off/picked up, allow extra time for a brief verbal intake, undressing/dressing, optional findings or next steps after your treatment, as well as answer any questions you may have.
-
So all in all, allow up to 2 hours for your first time.

NOTE
​
If a client is repeatedly having to cancel or reschedule, I will advise that I am not the best therapist for them and will recommend we discontinue treatments. As a solo practitioner, with a no-work no-pay business model, I am unable to accommodate.
Credit cards are not held on file, so cancellation policy cannot be enforced - however future appointments will no longer be possible.
