If you are late for your appointment, you may only be able to receive the remaining time of your session. As a courtesy to your therapist, if you see that you are running late, please call and let us know. 571.419.8543
If something comes up and you can no longer keep your appointment, you can cancel or reschedule by calling (571.419.8543) or emailing (atouchofserenity31@gmail.com). If you provide more than the applicable 24 or 48 hours notice, there will be no late cancellation/reschedule fee. If you fail to provide the applicable 24 or 48 hours notice, you will be charged the cancellation/reschedule fee OR one of your prepaid sessions or gift card will be redeemed. For a list of all late cancel/reschedule fees, please see the cancellation policy question below.
We require a confirmation so that we know you're still good to go for your appointment. You will receive an automated appointment reminder via email and/or text 72 hours before your appointment. Once you receive this automated reminder, you will be able to reply with confirmation that you will be keeping your appointment. We absolutely do not like having to charge the late cancellation/reschedule fee so we give our clients every opportunity to cancel or reschedule before the applicable 24 or 48 hour point of their appointment.
Since there are some allergies, medical conditions, injuries, or other circumstances where massage may not be beneficial, all new clients are required to submit a massage intake form online prior to their appointment for their therapist to review.

All gift card information MUST be provided at the time you schedule your appointment. You can provide your gift card information by phone, email, or the gift card section of the massage intake form. Our gift cards are sold BY THE SERVICE so please make sure you schedule the service that correctly corresponds with your gift card. Once we receive your gift card information, we will apply your gift card to your appointment. Your gift card number can be found on the bottom of your gift card.
Tips are always greatly appreciated and may be left at your discretion with your therapist. You may tip your therapist via cash, credit card, or Venmo.

The average tips usually range from:
-
60 minute service $15 - $20
-
90 minute service $25 - $30
-
2 hour service $35 - $40
