Caring Palms Policy Concerning Clients Under 18 Years of Age

To maintain the integrity of its therapists and the work they do, Caring Palms stands by the following...

For Massage:

Clients under the age of 18 must have a parent or legal guardian onsite during the session.
Clients under the age of 16 must have a parent or legal guardian in the treatment room during the session.

For Reiki:

Clients under the age of 18 must have a parent or legal guardian onsite for the first session.
Clients under the age of 16 must have a parent or legal guardian in the treatment room during the session.

Booking and Cancellation for Sessions

While Caring Palms does session on a "by appointment only" basis. If you need to postpone or cancel a scheduled session, please call as early as possible so we can book that time with another client. Also, please call rather than just not show up. Since no deposit is taken for weekday sessions, there is no cancellation fee for appointments during the week.

For new clients that make appointments for weekends, credit card information will be taken at the time of booking. If Caring Palms is not notified of cancellation at least two (2) hours before the scheduled session time, a $35 fee will be charged to the credit card. (Since Caring Palms books by appointment only, we only come in for scheduled sessions. The fee is to compensate for the effort of doing so.)
