Ts & Cs
Please arrive on time or early for your appointment. Practitioners may need you to fill in a form before your treatment.
​
If you are LATE for an appointment we cannot guarantee that you will have a full length treatment, but the full price will be payable.
If you cancel within 24 hours the full amount of the treatment will be payable.
​
Payments can be made by Credit or Debit Card, or by cash. We do not accept cheques, and if paying by cash, please bring the correct amount as we do not have the facility to provide change.
​
For Massage Therapies and other treatments where you may need to remove clothing, we have a strict Pants On Policy. If you do not respect this the practitioner will not be able to treat you, and you will still have to pay in full for the treatment.
​
All of our therapists have a right to feel safe and happy at work, and without fear of abuse, assault, insult, intimidation or humiliation. We reserve the right to refuse or withdraw services without notice and at any time, either prior to, during or post treatment. Any violence or abuse directed at our therapists will result in matters being followed up with the police.
