TELEPHONE/ONLINE ACESSIBILITY
If you need to contact me between sessions, please leave a message on my voicemail. We are often not immediately available; however, we will attempt to return your call within 24 hours. Please note that Face- to-face sessions are highly preferable to phone sessions. However, in the event that you are out of town, sick or need additional support, phone/online sessions are available. If a true emergency situation arises, please call 911 or any local emergency room.
SCHEDULE AND FEES
The fee for service is $200 per individual 60 minute video session. Fees are payable through website via credit or debit card or paypal, prior to the time that services are rendered. Because coaching is not a medical treatment, typically insurance will not cover the cost. Some employers may cover some of the cost of coaching. It is your responsibility to pay for coaching and get reimbursed by your employer if that is the case.
APPOINTMENT SCHEDULING AND CANCELLATION POLICIES
Please remember to cancel or reschedule 24 hours in advance. You will be responsible for the session cost as booked which will be charged to your card if cancellation is less than 24 hours, or if there is a no show. Should your payment be denied for insufficient funds, you will be charged a penalty fee of $25/per incident.
The standard meeting time for coaching sessions are 60 minutes. It is up to you, however, to determine the length of time of your sessions. Requests to change the 60-minute session needs to be discussed with the coach in order for time to be scheduled in advance. Any phone calls lasting longer than 5 minutes will accrue the standard charge of an individual face-to-face session.
AGAIN Cancellations and last minute re-scheduled sessions will be subject to the price of the session as booked notification is NOT RECEIVED AT LEAST 24 HOURS IN ADVANCE. This is necessary because a time commitment is made to you and is held exclusively for you. If you are late for a session, you may lose some of that session time.
