Expectations:
Please arrive to your first session 10-15 minutes early in order to complete a health history form.
Your treatment will start with a discussion about your health and your expectations of a reflexology session.
Reflexology is a general health service, not medical treatment, so contact your physician for pre-existing conditions.
To help maintain a relaxing atmosphere, please turn off all cell phones and pagers prior to arrival.
There are no child care facilities, so other arrangements will have to be made for young children if they are not a client themselves.
