Policies & FAQ

+ Late Cancelation Policy and Fees

• Your appointment time is reserved just for you. A late cancellation or missed visit leaves a hole in the therapists’ day that could have been filled by another patient. As such, we require 24 hours notice for any cancellations or changes to your appointment. Clients who provide less than 24 hours notice, or miss appointments, authorize Wellness Within to charge their credit card on file for cancelled or missed appointments or overdue balances. Clients who provide less than 24 hours notice will be charged a cancellation fee of $20.00. Clients who do not provide notice and are a "No Show" will be subject to a fee of $40.00. Clients who frequently cancel without adequate notice will not be permitted to continue to schedule online without making prior payment arrangements. If you do late cancel and we do charge a fee, we will send an email receipt to the email provided above. As the massage therapist is on commission this fee will help make up for lost income by a late cancelation.

+ Late Arrive Policy

• Incomplete intake forms or arriving after your appointment time may result in lost time from your treatment as we are unable to exceed that reserved time without affecting the next client session. Full-service fees will be charged even when sessions are shortened due to late arrival. Your insurance will only apply coverage for the amount of massage you received and not what you were scheduled for. Paying for the difference will be the responsibility of the client and not the insurance company.

+ What type or how much pressure should I get?

• The amount of pressure is a personal preference and with over 20+ massage therapists, we can cater to all preferences.
• A relaxation massage is a typical spa massage with a focus on de-stressing. Treatments are based off of more traditional Swedish techniques, such as kneading, with light to medium pressure. Don't feel bad if you fall asleep as thats a sign of a good relaxation massage. Look for therapists with a pressure preference below 5 in our therapist bios.
• Therapeutic massages use more clinical techniques to help address chronic health issues. Feel free to come in to your appointment with specific issues in mind and let the therapist know about your health concerns prior to the start. Temporary relief can often be experienced after the first visit but long term/permanent results will often require regular visists and home care.
