Self Care Agreements

These agreements exist to protect the integrity of this work, the peacefulness of the space, and the well-being of everyone who enters. They are not simply policies, but shared understandings that allow this practice to remain calm, sustainable, and rooted in care. Thank you for honoring them.

Appointments & Scheduling

✦ All appointments are scheduled directly through Patti Jo via email.

✦ Please plan to arrive 10–15 minutes early to allow for a calm, unhurried arrival.

Payment

✦ Small group series (2–3 participants) are reserved and paid in full at the start of the series to honor the space held for your group.

✦ Checks are not accepted.

✦ For your convenience, Venmo is accepted with a $5 service charge.

✦ A 10% discount is offered for advance payment (Venmo transactions include the $5 service charge).

Honoring the Space

✦ Please silence all mobile devices before entering to reduce distractions and protect the stillness of the room.

✦ To honor the quiet nature of the space, please use a soft voice upon entering, as sessions may already be in progress with other practitioners.

✦ Conversations are best kept minimal and positive to preserve the peaceful energy of the space and the experience for all.

✦ Shoes are removed upon entering to help maintain the cleanliness and grounding of the space.

✦ If your feet run cold, it's always best to bring socks with you to stay warm.

Sliding Scale Pricing

✦ Self Care Sliding Scale pricing applies to private one-on-one appointments only. (bodywork, energy work, 1:1 yoga sessions, and Ayurveda consultations)

✦ Public group classes are offered at consistent rates to support the sustainability of the space.

✦ Series booked with 2–3 participants are considered private/shared group sessions and are not eligible for sliding scale pricing or additional discounts. Booking with friends is a beautiful way to share your practice and naturally reduces the individual investment in your self-care while maintaining a personalized, intimate experience.

✦ If you are navigating a tender financial season and additional support is needed beyond sliding scale options, payment plans may be arranged. Please reach out so we can create something that feels nourishing, steady, and sustainable.

✦ Thank you for honoring this structure, which allows this work to continue serving our community with integrity and care.

Feeling Unwell

✦ If you are feeling unwell, please reschedule private appointments as soon as possible.

✦ For group sessions, we kindly ask that you stay home and rest out of respect for the health and well-being of the community.

Late Arrivals

✦ Out of respect for all who have appointments, sessions will end at their scheduled times and cannot be extended.

✦ If you arrive late, your session will still conclude at the original end time. In some cases, depending on how late you arrive, your appointment may need to be rescheduled.

✦ If arriving late for a group session, please enter quietly and settle in without disrupting those already in practice.

Cancellations

✦ A 24-hour cancellation notice is required for all appointments, except Shirodhara.

✦ Shirodhara appointments require 48 hours’ notice.

✦ Appointments canceled without proper notice will be charged in full.

✦ No-shows for classes or sessions are non-refundable and cannot be rescheduled.

Refunds
