Booking Policy

Request an appointment

New clients can request an appointment by using the form at the following link:

Please note it may take up to 36 hours to get back to you (Please whatsapp for last minute bookings*)

Existing clients can request an appointment for their follow-up treatments by whatsapp.

*WHATSAPP FOR LAST MINUTE BOOKINGS! For last minute bookings (appointments for the same day or day after) I suggest to reach me out by whatsapp as I may be busy with other clients or travelling to clients home and I may be unable to answer your call or check my emails. However my diary fills up quickly and this does not guarantee you will be offered a slot. I am sure you can understand this is a small business and I manage everything by myself so I may not be always able to meet your request especially if it is made with short notice. New clients are kindly required to provide the details requested on the automatic text sent (full name, treatment required, reason, etc…).

Due to a high number of spam/dodgy calls and texts I DON’T TAKE AT THE MOMENT bookings through call and text from new clients (unless you have not whatsapp and text contains your full name, treatment required, reason for treatment and any other genuine request of info).

Confirm your booking – Elephant and Castle

For new clients the booking process requires to fill in a short online pre-consultation and an upfront payment of the full treatment value at the time of the request of booking to secure the slot.

In the event the request of booking is made well in advance (about 4/3 weeks in advance) I reserve the slot but I will not require form and payment at the time of the request of booking unless the same slot is required by another client. Client will be contacted again in a date closer to the scheduled appointment (about 10 days prior the date or earlier should I receive another request of appointment for same day and same time) and it will be invited to formalize the booking by making payment and submitting the form.

Once slot has been offered and agreed by text/call/whatsapp, the client will have 1 hour to confirm the appointment and reserve the slot by using the methods stated above. After this time the slot will be available for everyone who wish to book it as courtesy to other clients in the waiting list.

Existing clients can pay the day of appointment.

Confirm your booking – Marylebone

New and existing clients are required to confirm their appointment by Fresha – online booking system upon the payment of a deposit. New clients are also required to fill in a pre-consultation prior the appointment. The therapist reserves the right to cancel an appointment at anytime when booking on Fresha is shown “unconfirmed” or pre-consultation form has not been submitted.

Clients are also required to keep informed the therapist of any change on their medical condition should they arise before each following appointment. Some medical conditions may require a GP approval.

In this circumstance the client will be still charged the full session amount.
