Terms and Conditions

Terms and Conditions for Flourish website and app, content, bookings, services and products.

Please check back on the terms and conditions as they are updated regularly.

APPOINTMENTS

When you request an appointment, it is subject to approval pending and is not automatically accepted and booked. You will receive acceptance of your booking shortly after your request (in some time zones, it may be a little longer due to the time difference/office hours).

First Visit/Initial Consultation and Return To Therapy

For all new clients and those returning to appointments after 6 months or more, when requesting your first appointment, payment is required be finalised in advance in order to secure your appointment date and time. On receipt of your booking request, you will receive a payment request or invoice where payment can be made securely online by debit/credit card, PayPal or BACS. Payment must be received by the 10am on the Monday preceeding your requested appointment date before your appointment can be confirmed - only when payment is received can your appointment request be approved, booked and secured.

If your first visit request was declined due to non-payment in advance, this does not automatically mean we cannot work together but please be aware that any future appointment requests for new clients are subject to the same conditions. If there more than 2 requests for a first visit without finalisation of advance payment, all future requests will be automatically declined and we are unable to work together.

If booking an appointment directly with myself by telephone, email or text, this can be paid securely by PayPal link, credit/debit card, BACS or over the phone. This also applies to bookings for Remote Sessions for all clients including existing, new or returning to therapy.

At the beginning of your appointment, during consultation, you will be asked to complete a Consultation Form. This provides a background of your health, lifestyle and any restrictions or limitations to your treatment in regard to any specific conditions or symptoms. There are some conditions where therapies may not be advisable or that advice from your GP or medical professional may be sought prior to the treatment. Please note that some personal information may be required and this is strictly private and confidential.

Initial consultation is both therapy and an assessment, and an opportunity to explore whether we feel we would like to move forward together in your healing process, as a re telephone consultations. Both parties are free to say either yes or no to working together, without expectation or judgement.

Requesting An Appointment

To request an appointment, please visit the Book Online page

Declined Booking Requests

On the rare occasion that your booking is declined, this does not automatically mean we cannot work together; it may mean that payment has not been finalised or the date and time you requested is unavailable for the requested service. It may mean that I need a little more information to assess whether I can help you, that you have requested a specialised service that requires a telephone consultation before your first therapy visit or that there is a waiting list for the service you requested. The reasons for declining your booking request will be given in the email. More information on declined bookings is available here.

Restrictions/Limitations/Adaptations

Please let me know at the time of booking, either on the notes section when booking online or by contacting me directly, if there are any physical, mental or emotional restrictions, limitations, adaptations or special requirements for your treatment. As a professional practitioner, it is important to me that I am able to provide the best possible environment and therapy for you.

Illness

If you are suffering from a cold or other contractible infection or disease, please do not book or attend an appointment in person until your symptoms have subsided and you are well again. Bodywork therapies are not advised or recommended, for either client or therapist, during these times. If you need to reschedule or cancel you appointment, please see the terms for cancellation and rescheduling below.

Pregnancy

The only treatment available in the first trimester of pregnancy is Reiki. Please let me know at the time of booking if you are pregnant and at which stage of your pregnancy.

BOOKING

Same Day Booking

Appointments booked online with less than 24 hours notice (for example, appointments booked in the morning for the afternoon of the same day) are not guaranteed to be fulfilled. If you would like to book on the day, please contact me in the first instance for availability.

Reschedule, Cancellation and Missed Appointments - Notification

The conditions for reschedule, cancellation and missed appointments apply to all appointments, including Animal Healing sessions and remote sessions, whether they have been booked directly with myself, online or at a centre. Please note that 48 hours notice of reschedule or cancellation is requested and at least 24 hours notice of cancellation is required. If you have a Member account, this can be done through the online booking system (if you have booked online) by logging in to your account. It can also be done by contacting me directly by telephone, email or text. Please do not notify of cancellation of appointments through social media (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram) as messages may not be received in time.

Missed appointments are also subject to a fee of the full treatment cost. Payment can be made by the accepted payment methods.

Please be aware that the fees above also apply to late notice cancellations and rescheduling as a result of receiving a positive result from a COVID test. To avoid late notice fees for cancellation or rescheduling your appointment, you may wish to avoid testing or consider testing days before your appointment so that you are able to give sufficient notice if you wish to cancel.

This is also applicable if you have attended part of the block and wish to cancel the remaining secured appointments. If less than 2 weeks notice of cancellation is given, the early cancellation fee for either a 4, 8 or 12 week block fee is £170.

Transferring an Appointment

Appointment bookings can be transferred. If you have booked an appointment for yourself but would like to transfer your appointment to a family member or friend, 24 hours notice of transferring your appointment is required from both yourself, the client whose name the appointment is originally booked under, and from the person to whom the appointment is being transferred to, giving their agreement to attending the appointment and consenting to the terms and conditions of booking.

Late Arrival

Please note that if you arrive late for your appointment, the session will continue to end at the scheduled time.

SUPPORT PLANS

Support plans are intended to provide you with the best possible support and guidance. They are carefully and considerately planned, specific to the plan, of dedicated sessions over the course the plan. The benefit of support plans is that your sessions are given booking priority and are booked in advance. This ensures your sessions are cohesive and regular providing the best possible treatment. If you are unable to make a session of a week, please allow 48 hours notice and I will try to reschedule that session for the same week - the session cannot be carried over to the following week. If you cancel or miss an appointment, it cannot be carried over to the following week. This is due to limited appointment availability and there is sometimes a waiting list for appointments. The appointment cost for a missed appointment is non refundable. Please see Reschedule, Cancellation and Missed Appointments above. Support plans are non transferable.

Fertility Plans: Should you successfully conceive during the course of the plan, the plan conditions still apply and you are financially committed to the plan until its term end. Sessions will be tailored to take any successful conception into account. Plan costs are not refundable on the event of successful conception during their term. Fertility plans are non transferable.
