New Client Basics

Length of Each Treatment
One hour and 15 minutes is booked for each client. To provide the best treatment the actual work time will vary, sometimes we use the full session time, other times we are done in one hour or less. Over-treatment results in lost ground. Fortunately the body gives good notice as this point is approaching.

Length of Time Between Treatments
Treatments are normally spaced one to four weeks apart, occasionally longer. Change always occurs between treatments. Often more change occurs between treatments than during each treatment. It is essential to give the body time to integrate the work that was done and to come to a new equilibrium between treatments.

Number of Treatments
The number of treatments people need varies a great deal. Often 8 - 12 sessions are necessary, occasionally as few as 3 may be enough. Rarely, more than a dozen sessions will be required to achieve stability, traumatic injuries such as whiplash may be an exception to this. After the initial group of sessions you will usually not need more work for months or years. No contract for a specific number of treatments is required. You will make your own decisions throughout the treatment process.

Fees and Payment
Payment is to be made at the time of treatment unless other arrangements have been made in advance. The fee at the time of service is $100 per visit. Billed rate is $180. The discounted rate for payment at the time of service is $100.00.

Payment may be made in cash, by check, or by Visa, MasterCard, Diners Club, American Express or Discover. If you wish to pay by check please have your check made out before you arrive for the treatment.

Please feel free to discuss the financial aspect of your treatment at any time.

Missed Appointments and Late Cancellations
Missed appointments are a loss to everyone including other people who would have liked to have had that time. In order to keep prices reasonable the full fee is charged for missed appointments and for cancellations less than 48 hours in advance.
