FAQ and Policies

I was hoping for a time that isn’t available in your booking calendar. Can you fit me in?
My booking calendar has an easy “wait list” function; enter your preferred dates and times, and I will contact you to offer the spot if it becomes available.
Do you take walk-ins?
Treatment is by appointment only.
How do I access the building?
You will be able to enter the building from Granville Street and take the elevator or stairs to level two. Before 8am and after 5pm, and on weekends, please use the buzzer code provided in your confirmation and reminder emails for building access.
When should I arrive?
You are welcome to arrive a few minutes early to use the washroom or briefly relax in our waiting area before treatment; I will meet you in the waiting area at your booked appointment time. Thank you for understanding that the time between clients is set aside for billing, charting, and preparation for the next appointment, and that I may not be able to offer a sooner start time if you are early. Please be mindful of other patients, and refrain from making phone calls, or from watching videos without headphones in the waiting area.
Please note that I will need to buzz you into the building before 8am and after 5pm, or on weekends, and may not be available to do so if you are more than 5-10 minutes early.
I will attempt to contact you if you have not arrived for your treatment a few minutes after your scheduled start and I have not heard from you. If I am unable to reach you after twenty minutes, the fee for a missed appointment will apply. Please anticipate that I will not be able to extend your treatment end time after a late arrival, to avoid impacting subsequent patients.
What is your cancellation policy?
Late cancellations or missed visits leave a space in the day that could have been used by another patient. I require 12 hours notice for any cancellations or changes to your appointment. Patients who provide less than 12 hours notice, or miss their appointment, will be charged a cancellation fee to the card on file; this cannot be billed to insurance.
While the cancellation fee applies at less than 12 hours notice in recognition that illness and unexpected events occasionally occur at short notice, cancellations under 48 hours do impact the therapist and other patients, and I reserve the right to restrict booking privileges if a client repeatedly cancels with less than 48 hours notice.
How can I pay?
I will charge any amount remaining to pay that is not covered by your insurance to the credit card details you have stored in your Jane booking site account. Your credit card details are stored by the “Jane App” service provider, and are not fully visible to me; it will be billed for treatment or cancellation fee as applicable when selected as payment method by you, or when another payment method (e.g. e-transfer) is not rendered as agreed within one week of your appointment.
Alternatively, I can accept exact-change cash payment. Please note that a credit card on file is still required in case of cancellation fee application. I do not keep a cash box or physical credit card reader onsite.
A receipt will be emailed to you as soon as your payment is processed. Print receipts will be mailed at my earliest opportunity if requested.
Should I tip?
Like your other health care providers, I appreciate the gesture but do not accept tips. The best thank-you I can receive is a great Google review, and a mention to your network!
Do you direct bill to insurance?
I direct bill to the following insurers; please contact me if you do not see your insurer represented. I do not currently direct bill to ICBC or WorkSafe. In situations where a claim request is not successful, I take full payment and issue you a receipt to submit to your insurer.

Is parking available?
Our building does not have onsite parking. Lot parking is available close by, but as downtown parking tends to be expensive I recommend using the many easy transit options that bring you right to the clinic door.
Are universal washrooms available?
Signage on public washrooms in the building is binary-gendered. I am happy to show you to the single-stall universal staff washrooms at basement level on request; I recognize that this is an accessibility limitation of the building and apologize for any resulting discomfort.
Allergies
Although the clinic is not a scent and allergen-free space, please advise me of sensitivities as far in advance as possible so that I can accommodate them to the extent possible. Please consider possible allergies of the next patient in the room by reducing or avoiding use of scent before your visit.
Do you offer chair massage?
I do not currently have equipment to offer chair massage.
Can you send me my treatment notes, or write a letter describing my appointment in detail?
I will be happy to send you an electronic copy of my treatment charts if needed, on request, free of charge. These charts are presented as is, and cannot be altered to request. This can only be delivered by email or mail to the contact details you have provided in your intake form. You will need to complete an authorization to disclose medical information form to have them sent to another professional.
I am also happy to provide reminders about homecare details or answer brief further questions by email on request on an informal basis, free of charge.
Additional requested formal documentation, such as a medical legal report or a formal summary in lay or clinical terms, are invoiced at $140 per hour of work, the same as an hour unit of massage as per professional body guidelines. I am happy to provide an estimate beforehand. Please note that such documents can only detail the facts of the massage including subjective and objective presenting complaints and background information as described, treatment rendered, reassessment findings, and homecare recommendations. They cannot be considered a statement of diagnosis, and cannot address areas outside of my scope of practice.
Do you participate in any community support initiatives?
I proudly donate 5% of my earnings to support the important work of Rainbow Refugee towards a safe and just world for LGBTQ2I+ people, meaning that the benefit of your massage treatment will extend beyond your appointment.
