Terms & Conditions

To help us provide the best possible service to you and as a courtesy to our therapists, we have developed and apply the following terms and conditions. By booking an appointment or purchasing a gift voucher with Embodied Wellbeing you are agreeing to these terms and conditions.

 

General

All Embodied Wellbeing therapists are trained breathwork practitioners, professional and relaxation massage specialists.

Embodied Wellbeing provides only professional, health and wellbeing-focused services.

Please address your therapist and practitioner the way you would a physiotherapist, chiropractor or medical doctor.

Embodied Wellbeing reserves the right to change prices and services without notice.

 

Bookings, payments and deposits

An online booking system has been setup so you can pick a preferred time that suits you.

Bookings can be made in advance up to 2 months.

You will receive an email notification of your booking date and time and some helpful information.

On your booking confirmation email there is also a link to cancel your appointment up to 48 hours in advance.

You will also receive a SMS reminder 24 hours prior to the appointment

Please be considerate of your therapist and arrive on time at your appointment

It is preferred for the appointment to be paid in full prior to the booking time, however you may be asked to pay a 50% deposit upon booking.

It would be greatly appreciated that all NEW CLIENTS could please arrive at least 10 minutes before your appointment start time so as to complete necessary paperwork.

Payment must be received in full at the time of the service.

 

Cancellations & changes to your appointment

We require a minimum of 24 hours’ notice to cancel or reschedule an appointment.

If you cancel your appointment prior to the 24-hour notice period and have paid a deposit the deposit will remain as a credit against your account.
Please note: We do not offer refunds for cancelled appointments.

Appointments cancelled within the 24-hour of your appointment will incur a 50% (of your booked service) cancellation fee.

Any no shows or cancellations with less than 4 hours’ notice are not eligible for a refund and will incur a 100% cancellation fee.

Any cancellations or changes to you booking must be communicated by telephone, email or through the online booking software.

 

If your therapist is delayed

We generally allow enough time between massage session to ensure your massage therapist will always run on time and not be delayed.

In the event that your therapist is held up you will be advised by telephone, and we will endeavour to ensure the length of your massage will not change. If the length of your massage is affected in any way, we will offer a complimentary gift voucher to the equivalent value of the effected booking.

 

If you are running late

Please let us know by telephone as soon as possible if you are running late or are not ready to commence your session/appointment at the arranged time. We will try to accommodate you as best as possible.

Please note that due to scheduling constraints, your therapist may still have to conclude your session/appointment at the scheduled finish time.

 

If your therapist needs to cancel your appointment

If we have to cancel your appointment due to the therapist being unwell or unavailable, we will notify you via, phone, sms and email.

We will make every effort to reschedule your appointment to a time that is convenient for you.

Any deposits that have been made for the cancelled session will be applied to your account as credit. If we cannot accommodate you in finding a convenient time to reschedule, we will refund your deposit on request.

 

Gift Vouchers

Gift Vouchers are non refundable.

Gift Vouchers cannot be redeemed for cash.

No discounts apply when purchasing or redeeming vouchers (unless a special offer is available when purchasing the gift voucher).   You are unable to apply a birthday discount off a gift voucher redemption.

 

Personal Conduct

Your therapist has the right to cancel the session/appointment and leave the premises immediately if there is any harassment either physical, sexual or verbal. This could result in a police report being filed if the charges are deemed to be of a serious nature.

If for any reason you are uncomfortable or need specific attention at any point during your session, please notify your therapist immediately.

If you need a glass of water, a tissue or would like to change the style of breathing during your session, it’s important that you inform your therapist immediately and they will do their best to accommodate your request.
