Appointment Policy
Your massage starts at scheduled time. Please come 5 to 10 minutes prior to your scheduled time to discuss any changes with your therapist and be ready for your massage. 10 - 15 minutes early for new clients. Late appointments will be seen time allowing. Full rate of scheduled appointment will be due at end of service. Appointment Reminder As a reminder, the 2-day appointment reminders are a courtesy and are typically sent about two days before your scheduled session. Please keep track of your appointment date and time, as courtesy reminders are not guaranteed. If you have a scheduled appointment but haven't received a reminder, your appointment is still reserved for you. If you are ever unsure of your appointment time, simply text or reach out, and I'll be happy to confirm it for you. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation! Payment of Services As of August 2026, Heartpoint Healing will require a credit card on file for all appointments. Cards will only be charged in accordance with cancellation/no-show policies unless otherwise authorized. Heartpoint Healing does not provide credit to clients. It is expected that you pay for your services at the time of service. We accept Cash (please have the exact amount, we do not have change), Venmo, and all major Credit Cards. HSA cards may be used, but please have a backup form of payment. Cancellation Fee I realize that giving notice in a certain timeframe is sometimes hard to do with different situations, so there will be a leeway in this notice - please read on:
I want you to know that my cancellation policy is not a penalty or punishment and is not personal. I am aware of the difficulty this can be, so I came up with a fair solution for the possibility of waiving a less than 24-hour notice rather than having a flat-out fee. Thank you for your understanding and support of Heartpoint Healing. **If you are coming in on a donation session, and you cancel less than 24 hours or are a no show, it will be waived one time. If it happens again, you will no longer be eligible for the donation. Donations are gifts from Heartpoint Healing, it is also valuable time that is lost that could have been for another client. Please respect your donation session(s) and the policies. Thank you! Your Time is Also Valuable If Heartpoint Healing has a need to reschedule your appointment, I will make every attempt to get you in as quickly as possible, if sessions are booked, I will do what I can to open other sessions at other times that I usually do not work to accommodate you, as well as, adding you to a priority waitlist if the accommodations given don't work out for you. |
Privacy Policy
Information shared during the massage (unless noted by you) and all client files are confidential (unless subpoenaed by law or for insurance. Intentions of Massage Therapy Massage therapy provided by Jennie Forbush, LMT (licensed massage therapist) is intended to increase awareness, increase feelings of well-being, can prevent disease and injury, decrease feelings of anxiety and stress and their effects on the body, enhance relaxation, reduce pain caused by muscle tension, increase range of motion, improve circulation, and offer a positive experience of touch. Personal Boundaries Maintaining, communicating, and respecting boundaries helps both parties build trust and feel safe. It is in this safety that massage therapy is most beneficial. If either party feels uncomfortable or unsafe because their boundaries have been crossed, it is important to discuss it immediately. Please self-advocate. You should disrobe to your level of comfort; however if there is a specific area your needing to be worked on, it is suggested that you disrobe entirely. It is your therapist's responsibility to drape or expose only the part(s) of the body being worked on. However, if there is any clothing on in the area you desire to be worked, the therapist will have to drape over the area and work through the sheet, lessening the therapeutic benefit to you. The massage is strictly therapeutic, and any behavior that is outside the grounds of therapy ends the massage immediately, and full payment is expected. Talking or No Talking? It is really up to you.
Massage for Children/Minors Any client under the age of 18 must have a parent or legal guardian for the initial appointment to sign a consent form. The parent is welcome to be present in the massage room. Health Considerations Your massage therapy is not a substitute for medical examination and/or diagnosis. Please inform your Massage Therapist of any change in your status. It is recommended that you concurrently work with your Primary Care Provider for any condition you may have. Please be aware that your Massage Therapist does not diagnose illness, disease or any other physical or mental disorders, does not prescribe medications, and that spinal manipulations are not a part of massage therapy. Contraindications Under certain medical conditions, massage/bodywork may not be advised. If you have been in a car accident or other accident/injury, it is best that you wait 78 hours after the accident to receive a massage. Any sickness is a contraindication to massage. Please text for verification if you need to reschedule or if you can be seen. If there are any questions as to whether or not you should be seen for any health or medical concerns, or any other questions about contraindications, please contact your therapist. It is important and your responsibility to update your therapist with any changes in your health that the therapist has not asked you about.
