Policies
Here are the standard policies regarding cancellations, refunds, etc. These policies balance respect for the therapist’s time with providing flexibility for our clients.
Cancellations

service fee and applicable credit card fees (3% for Visa/Mastercard/Discover and 4% for American Express). - Within two weeks of the retreat start date: you will be refunded the amount already paid less two days’ fee and
applicable credit card fees (3% for Visa/Mastercard/Discover and 4% for American Express). - No show: you will be refunded the amount already paid less two days’ fee and applicable credit card fees (3% for
Visa/Mastercard/Discover and 4% for American Express).
Time of cancellation is as of the first business day at 9:00 AM following notification. So, for example:
- Notification on a Saturday afternoon would count as having occurred the following Monday morning.
