APPOINTMENTS
When booking your first appointment, you will receive a New Client Intake Form, a copy of our Terms and Conditions, and a confirmation email. You will also receive reminders via email and/or SMS. If you are not well for any reason, please respect my business as well as your body’s own needs to recover and reschedule/delay your booking. Massage is still an active event for your body to process, and can make it harder to get over an infection. Advance payment is required of all new clients in order to reserve the booking. Your session includes time to get changed and any joint or muscle assessments required. If any forms are outstanding they must be completed before the treatment begins. Payments are non-refundable. For returning clients, you agree to keep Caldwell Sports Massage up to date with any changes to your health and medical history.
CANCELLATIONS AND LATE ARRIVALS
Please respect our 24-hour cancellation policy. Sessions cancelled with less than 24 hours’ notice will be invoiced at the full cost, and must be paid before further bookings can be made. This policy is of course waived for anyone who must cancel due to illness. No-shows will also be charged at the full cost, either via invoice or deduction from the client’s package. If you have a chronic condition with varying degrees of severity, or an acute issue that prevents you from attending your appointment last minute, please call to discuss your specific situation. When arriving for your session, please be as punctual as possible, and in an effort to minimise contact in the waiting room, arrive no more than 5 minutes before your scheduled appointment time. We understand that schedules can be affected by many outside factors, however we will not be able to make up time for late arrivals outside of the scheduled treatment session.
GIFT CARDS AND PACKAGES
Gift Cards and Five-Session Packages are paid in advance, hold expiry dates of 6 months from the date of purchase, and are non-refundable. In the case of temporary business closure or an inability to carry out sessions due to therapist injury, expiry dates will be extended accordingly. Packages are non-transferrable unless otherwise designated. When a client holds a Session Package up to one month after its expiry date, the remaining sessions may be used upon payment of £35 extension fee. This equates to purchasing 5 independent treatments at the regular rate. Sessions expired for more than one month are forfeited.
