Things you should know about your visit
- Should I arrive earlier?You do not need to arrive earlier than your scheduled appointment time.
- Will there be any discomfort?Sometimes the therapy can be uncomfortable. Clients are encouraged to communicate to the therapist how they are feeling during therapy to prevent undue discomfort.
- What type of garments will I need?Clients usually receive therapy while in their undergarments. Sports bras are discouraged because they cover too much area and are difficult to work around. A regular bra is far more conducive to the therapy. Some female clients prefer to wear swimwear. This is perfectly fine as long as it is a two piece. A one piece covers too much area and renders the therapy ineffective.
- Should I prep my body before the visit?If you engage in physical activity such as a sport, a workout, manual labor, or if you have a tanning session before your visit, please make sure you shower beforehand.
- Do You Accept Insurance? What Is Your Rate?I’m sorry for any inconvenience but we do not accept insurance. That being said, many clients are successfully reimbursed by their insurance services or are allowed to use some type of medical account. Some clients are able to deduct the cost from their taxes. We are happy to provide an invoice at the time of service to any client who requests it in order to facilitate any of these avenues. The current rate is $175 per 90 minute session.
- What forms of payment do you accept?We accept cash, check, all major credit cards, Apple Pay, and Android pay.
- What is your cancellation policy?I don’t charge clients if life happens and they can’t make a session. That being said, clients that book sessions and cancel but also cancel excessively will not be welcome to book with us in the future. The term “excessively” is relative. The booking software monitors this and will automatically cancel future sessions of a client it deems problematic for the schedule. This is an algorithm that takes in frequency of bookings, cancellations, and over a compressed or wide period of time. This is the solution I have found best for my practice to cater to serious clients and respectfully prune those not compatible with our model.
- Do you offer consultations?No. I simply do not have the time to offer consultations prior to an actual session. I can honestly attest, as the vast majority of online reviews and online testimonials can, that I am rarely confronted with a situation that I cannot bring good to fantastic results to. That being said there are rare occasions where a potential client presents either a situation that I call a “shot in the dark” and give them the option to “try and see what happens” or a situation that I just don’t see a solution to and is beyond my therapy and what I offer through visceral manipulation, structural integration, myo-skeletal, or medical massage approaches. This is very rare and the handful of people I’ve had to be honest and upfront with about this by and large have been grateful and appreciative of my candor and honesty. If I deem a situation beyond what I offer of course I will by no means charge the person anything.
- Do you work in or offer series?“Structural integration (ie rolfing, hellerwork, anatomy trains) is often but not always performed in series. Potential clients will sometimes ask for this. I no longer offer this as a direct service as I have for years in the past but upon specific request it may be possible but not guaranteed.
- What type of behavior can be expected?Ravel Therapy holds to the highest ethical standards. Sexual or playful conduct will not be tolerated by therapist or client.
