​
Please take the time to read through this information carefully.
Please note that by making a booking an appointment with Louise S. Williams Massage Therapy you are agreeing to our Terms & Conditions below. You also agree to attend the appointment you have booked.
APPOINTMENTS
You can make an appointment with Louise S. Williams in a number of ways including via telephone, text or email. Appointments are available for one hour.
CANCELLATIONS & LATE ARRIVALS
Cancellation Policy: 24 hours. We require a minimum of 24 hours notice to cancel an appointment. Failure to attend an appointment with less than 24 hours notice of cancellation will incur the charge for the full appointment. This is because we may not be able to fill your appointment slot
and still need to cover our costs.
Please cancel as soon as possible if a foreseeable event is likely to prevent you from attending, for example, illness or adverse weather conditions. If you need to cancel your appointment at short notice, because of a long-term medical condition, which varies from day to day, or because you are more than 37 weeks pregnant, then we shall discuss the cost implications on a case by case basis.
An invoice for any cancellation / ‘no show’ charges will be sent to you by email for payment by bank transfer within 7 days. Following a cancellation, payment must be received before any further massage bookings can be taken.
Late Arrivals: It is important that our agreed appointment time and duration is adhered to. We appreciate that sometimes, things happen, and you may arrive a little later or need to leave a bit earlier than planned. This is fine, but we cannot make up the missed time by overrunning or adding time to subsequent appointments.
CONFIDENTIALITY
All client information and clinical records will be safeguarded and will remain confidential. Unless required to do so by law, we will not otherwise share, sell or distribute any of the information you provide to us without your consent.
Consultations and client treatment details will not be discussed with anyone other than the client, unless the client is under the age of 18 or has a care worker or guardian.
In order to prevent unauthorised access or disclosure, we employ security measures to protect your information from access by unauthorised persons and against unlawful processing, accidental loss, destruction and damage. We have also put in place suitable physical, electronic and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the information we collect online. We will retain your information for a reasonable period or as long as the law requires.
Each practitioner working for Louise S. Williams Massage Therapy will have access to these records only for the duration of their contract with Louise S. Williams Massage Therapy, and solely for the purpose of providing you with the most appropriate treatment.
HEALTH & SAFETY
All practitioners are qualified and hold professional and public indemnity insurance, for the services that they provide.
Due to the nature of massage and the need for close contact, all practitioners will maintain a high standard of personal hygiene and clients are asked to ensure that they also maintain a high standard of personal hygiene.
If a practitioner is unwell, suffering from a cold or virus, infection or general ill health, they will not be allowed to work due to the risks of cross-contamination. This may result in us contacting you to inform you of the issue at the earliest opportunity to make suitable alternative arrangements.
Clients are asked not to attend for a massage if they are unwell, suffering from a cold or virus, infection or general ill health. Please contact Louise S. Williams via email at louwilliams7w@gmail.com at the earliest opportunity to rearrange your appointment. If you are unwell and contact us to inform us of your illness, please note that our Cancellation Policy may still apply.
Louise S. Williams Massage Therapy, including the practitioners, will not be held responsible for the loss or damage of personal items during your time at the premises.
Clients under the age of 18 years have to be accompanied by a parent, or guardian. This parent or guardian must give permission for the agreed massage plan to be performed, and will be requested to co-sign the New Client Consultation Form. They will be invited to stay in the room for the duration of the appointment, and expected to remain present throughout the treatment.
Louise S. Williams Massage Therapy holds the right to refuse any treatment if a client is physically or verbally abusive towards any practitioner, or demonstrates inappropriate, aggressive or sexual behaviour. Such behaviour may result in a partial or total ban from Louise S. Williams Massage
Therapy and may also result in criminal proceedings.
