Late Cancelations
We do understand that challenges arise and at times it is hard to make a scheduled appointments. We do need to charge 45$ for a late cancelation which is less than 24 hours in advance or the same amount if you do not show up for your appointment. We need to do this because others clients are on a waiting list for cancelations and our clinicians do need to get paid.
