Prices

The price of each session varies according to the type and duration of the therapy session you book Full therapy menu and prices are detailed on the website. Indemnity I am not a healthcare provider nor do I provide medical advice or medical treatment. References on the Website and elsewhere to “Treatment” and “Therapy” or any similar terms do not refer to medical treatment or medical therapy. The information presented on www.paulachapmanmassage.co.uk is not intended to diagnose health problems or to take the place of professional medical care. Should you have a medical issue you should always consult with a qualified medical professional.

Cancellation policy

I understand that sometimes things change and appointments have to be rearranged. I politely ask all clients to give 24 hours notice of cancellation on the day before their treatment appointment. Failure to do so will incur the full appointment fee. This will be waived for symptoms of COVID-19. Time lost due to late cancellations could have been filled with clients who were waiting for appointments. By not giving enough notice of a cancellation makes it difficult for other clients to take up the freed slot. I trust you understand that this policy is not meant as a ‘punishment’ but hopefully it will help to remind you to call me in good time if you need to rearrange. Thank you for your continued support, I really do appreciate it! Paula Chapman
