POLICIES

Financial and Administrative Transparency:  This website is affiliated with AMTA (American Massage Therapy Association). Scheduling of all appointments is done online by you through my MassageBook online administrative software on my online MassageBook booking site, which is not my website.  Prepayment through debit/credit card processing through Square is used for card processing for your convenience and is required to reserve your appointment.  There are transaction and usage fees for any online card payments and online card optional tips through both Square and MassageBook, usually around $5 combined each time, and Jennifer will currently absorb ALL of these transaction and usage fees for you.   Square and MassageBook are all secure and encrypted for your financial safety, protection, and privacy.  Square and MassageBook are paperless and cashless systems.  All receipts are emailed to your email address.  Debit/credit cards are not kept on file by Jennifer through Square or MassageBook for your financial safety, protection, and privacy, but you may authorize this if you choose to.  All fees are clearly listed on this website, the online MassageBook booking site, and on any square processing transactions.  Tipping is optional, and much appreciated when received. If you decide to tip, you can do so on your debit/credit card at online prepayment or before checkout after the session.  Gift Certificates through MassageBook expire one year from the date of purchase and will not be accepted after the expiration date.  You can print them off or email them.  Gift Certificates can not be used for special promotions.  

Instructions:  Please arrive only FIVE minutes early.  You will fill out the online intake ahead of time; it will be emailed to you automatically.  Enter The Nashua Building through the south door.  The suite door is locked until 5 min. before your appt.  Please do not knock or pound on the door, rattle the doorknob, call on your cell phone, yell, etc. At 5 min. before your appt., go to suite 207 and the suite door will open and you should walk in then. You may wait in the lobby in the building on the main level/2nd floor or wait in your car if you are early.  Please silence your phone or turn off and put away or put face down so that it is not beeping and buzzing.  Undress to your comfort level; if you leave your underwear on, I will not move it for you and will instead work over the sheet.  You will be properly draped at all times and appropriately covered.  You will be under the blanket and flat sheet (please pull it over you) but on top of the fitted sheet.  Start face down with your face in the face cradle unless instructed otherwise. Please shower or bathe ahead of time on the same day.  Please wear deodorant/antiperspirant.  Please do not wear body lotions, moisturizers, or powders, as they do not mix well with massage products usually.  Please do not wear any perfume, cologne, or scented body spray.  Please do not smoke cigarettes or other right before the session.  If you have foot or toe fungus, please let me know, keep your socks on, and I can massage them with the sheet and with gloves or leave them out.  Add-ons and two hour treatment sessions are available for existing clients only and not for brand new clients.  Add-ons do not extend the session time and are done within the session.  To avoid full charges, if you need to cancel over 24 hrs., you are responsible for going into your MassageBook account and cancelling your appt. (and rescheduling appt.), as this is a patient driven account.

Cancellation Policy:  Late cancellations < 24 hrs. and no-shows will be charged the full fee for any and  appointments for any reason not cancelled at least 24 hrs. in advance.   Without proper advanced notice, Jennifer will not be able to fill the missed reserved time slot.  To cancel your appt., you must cancel online under your account on MassageBook. Please write down your appt. or put it on your calendar or phone.  Business owners and independent contractors are self-employed, and must pay personal bills and expenses (household maintenance and repairs, mortgage payments, mortgage insurance, utilities, car maintenance and repairs, car insurance, gas mileage, food, groceries, personal care and household items, kid, personal property taxes, and other taxes, etc.) as well as business bills and expenses (office rent, office utilities, continuing education and training, LMT license renewal, KCMO business license renewal, State of MO business license renewal, business equipment, business supplies, business property taxes, self-employment related taxes, and other taxes). This is how we earn our living and support ourselves and our families, and how we stay in business.  Thank you for supporting this local woman-owned small business; it is much appreciated.

Expectations:  Any sexual comments, sexual innuendo, sexualized gestures, or inappropriate related behaviors of any kind will not be tolerated- at all.  Sexist comments in a massage session are not appropriate either.  This is a respectable, reputable, legitimate healthcare practice, similar to a physical therapy or rehab office.  Jennifer is not an untrained masseuse at a corner parlor.  She is not a prostitute.  She is not a victim or survivor of human sex trafficking.  She will end the massage, have you leave immediately, not give you any refund, not allow you to rebook ever, and if needed immediately call the police regarding any illegal or criminal behaviors.  She also will not allow any verbal abuse of any kind by any client.  She is a professionally State of Missouri Licensed Massage Therapist, has a KCMO city business license, and has a State of MO business license.  * There is NO sexual touch or unethical boundary violations of any kind!
