If you need to cancel or reschedule, we require at least 24 hours notice. This allows us to offer a session to a client who is waiting for an appointment.
There is no fee if you cancel or reschedule an appointment with more than 24 hours notice. If less than 24 hours notice, you will be charged 50% of the session fee. For no-shows, the full session fee will be charged.

A non-refundable deposit of $200 is required to book in the Initial Interview.

These sessions are typically longer and require at least 48 hours notice for cancellation. If less than 48 hours notice is given (including no-shows), a cancellation fee of $200 will be incurred.
The remainder of the total fee is then to be paid to book in the feedback session and receive the results and recommendations.
