Please be advised that you will be billed for any sessions missed or cancelled with less than 48 hours notice, except in the case of an emergency. Payment will be processed at the end of each session using the credit card stored in your Jane App profile and a receipt will be emailed to you in the name of the person the session was booked under.
I’m happy to receive brief email updates on you or your child before sessions (emphasis on ‘brief’). However, any emails that take more than a minute or two to read and/or respond to will be billed in 15-minute increments. Please keep in mind I’m a slow reader and, though I will want to, I am prohibited by the BCACC from giving advice or direction via email or text.
