Policies

Your satisfaction is my number-one priority. I want you to have the best experience possible, so please take a moment to read Gentle Soul Massage’s policies on this page, which all clients are expected to abide by.

If you have any questions, or if you believe you have circumstances that deserve special consideration, please do not hesitate to contact me.

    • Appointments can be scheduled using the online booking system. Sessions are by appointment only (no walk-ins).

    • A valid credit card is required to reserve your appointment time. This card can be used for streamlined payment at time of service. This card will be charged in the event of a no-show or late cancellation. See my Cancellation & Rescheduling policy below for details.

    • Payment is due at the time of service and can be made via credit/debit card, cash, or gift card.

    • Session times: If you arrive late, you will receive whatever time remains of your appointment, and you are still responsible for paying the full session fee.

  • 24 Hours’ Notice Required

    I require at least 24 hours’ notice for any cancellation or rescheduling. To cancel or reschedule an appointment, you may do any of the following:

    • Use the “Change Appointment” link in your confirmation email. (If it’s less than 24 hours before your appointment, this option is not available.)

    • Email or text me directly: contact info is in the confirmation emails.

    • If you are sick or symptomatic, call me (541-357-6261) and leave me a voicemail by 8:00 am on the day of your appointment to waive the late-cancellation fees.

    If an unexpected medical emergency arises and you are unable to alert me that you will miss your appointment, please call me (541-357-6261) as soon as possible so that I know you are OK. I will gladly waive the late-cancellation fee in the event of unexpected medical emergencies.


    Late-Cancellation Fees

    You will be charged a late cancellation fee equal to the session rate if you cancel late (less than 24 hours before appointment) or no-show.

    You can get these fees waived if you send someone in your place (please notify me of this switch), or if I am able to rebook your appointment time slot.


    Appointment Reminders

    My booking system will send you automatic reminders via email and SMS/text at these intervals before your appointment:

    • 48 hours prior (so that you have time to reschedule without incurring fees)

    • 2 hours prior

    Although I send these reminders as a courtesy, it is ultimately up to you to remember your appointment.

  • Contagious Symptoms

    Please reschedule if you are experiencing any of the following symptoms, even if mild:

    • Fever, sore throat, sneezing, or coughing

    • Itchy throat, nose, or eyes

    • COVID, cold, flu, or other contagious respiratory conditions

    • Allergy flare-up

    • Contagious dermatology issues (skin rash, weeping blisters, lice, athlete’s foot, etc.)


    Fees can be waived for late-cancellation due to illness
    if you call me (541-357-6261) and leave me a voicemail by 8:00 am on the day of your appointment.

    However, if you arrive to your appointment with contagious symptoms, your session will be canceled, and you will be charged the late-cancellation fee.


    General Health Conditions

    You should not receive a massage if you are experiencing any of the following conditions:

    • Any active inflammatory disease affecting blood vessels

    • Diabetes with active complications

    • Nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, or extreme gastrointestinal distress

    • Severe, unexplained pain in abdomen or legs

    • Unexplained throbbing headache or migraine

    • Pitting edema

  • Intake Forms

    Intake forms are linked in your initial confirmation email. Please complete them as soon as possible, or at least 24 hours before your appointment start time (so that I have time to read your responses and plan your treatment needs). Otherwise, we’ll need to take time out of your session for you to fill them out.


    No Fragrances

    Please arrive to your appointment clean and fragrance-free. This includes perfume, lotion, essential oils, hair products, smoke odors, body odors, etc. Please do not smoke immediately before your appointment.


    Guests

    You are welcome to bring a loved one with you to your appointment if you wish. During your session, your guest can relax in the waiting room or enjoy one of the nearby shops, cafes, or restaurants.

    Children are welcome to stay in the treatment room with us. To maintain the therapeutic environment for everyone in the building, any children accompanying you must be able to quietly entertain themselves. (Babies are welcome!)


    Communicating Your Needs

    To receive the best session possible, you should communicate your needs, preferences, requests, or feedback to me at any time before, during, or after your appointment.

    Please tell me right away if you feel unwell, uncomfortable, or distracted so that adjustments can be made.

    I truly want your honest feedback (positive or negative) so that I can create the best possible session for YOU.


    Appropriate Conduct

    Comments, requests, or conduct of a romantic or sexual nature are not tolerated and will result in immediate ending of the session. You will be responsible for paying the full session fee, and you will be banned from this clinic. Charges will be pressed for any threatening, endangering, or illegal behavior.


    Not Honoring These Policies

    I reserve the right to cancel, reschedule, or stop any session at any time, for reasons including but not limited to:

    • Clients or their guests show signs of intoxication (including alcohol or other substances).

    • Safety concerns arise for client or therapist.

    • Distractions are preventing client from being fully present during the session.

    • Clients or their guests are not abiding by these policies.

    Clients whose appointments are canceled, stopped, or rescheduled for not abiding by these policies will be charged the full session fee.
