I ask for payment to be made a minimum of 24 hours prior to the session booked, the fee to be paid will be arranged at the free 20 minute consultation and an invoice will be emailed/sent to you containing my bank details if paying via Bacs.
I ask for 24 hours notice if something arises and you can not attend the session you are booked in for. I’m aware that sometimes situations arise and this can not happen so please do contact me so as I’m aware. I will aim to give as much notice (24 hours if possible if I need to cancel a session also). If 24 hours notice is not given and the reason could have been avoided then the session will need to be paid prior to any other sessions taking place.
