Terms and Conditions

Professional Service Policy

Welcome to Healing Hands by Payal. By booking and attending any appointment, you agree to the terms outlined in this policy.

Healing Hands by Payal provides professional Raynor Massage Therapy and related massage treatments in a safe, respectful, and therapeutic environment. All services are strictly non-sexual and are intended to support relaxation, tension release, pain management, mobility, and overall well-being.

Clients are expected to behave respectfully at all times. Any inappropriate behaviour, including sexual remarks, advances, requests, harassment, threatening conduct, or abusive language, will result in the immediate termination of the session. In such cases, the full treatment fee will remain payable, and future appointments may be refused.

Healing Hands by Payal reserves the right to refuse or discontinue treatment if a client’s behaviour compromises professional boundaries, safety, or the therapeutic environment.

Cancellation Policy

Appointment times are reserved exclusively for each client. To ensure fairness and allow availability for other clients, we require at least 24 hours’ notice for any cancellation or rescheduling request.

  • Cancellations made more than 24 hours before the appointment may be rescheduled or refunded.
  • Cancellations made less than 24 hours before the appointment will be charged 100% of the treatment fee.
  • Missed appointments or no-shows will be charged 100% of the treatment fee.
  • Failure to attend an appointment without notice may result in future bookings requiring advance payment.

This policy allows us to manage our schedule efficiently while maintaining availability for all clients.

Refund Policy

All completed massage therapy sessions are non-refundable.

Appointments cancelled with more than 24 hours’ notice may qualify for either:

  • A refund of any payment already made; or
  • A credit towards a future appointment.

Refunds, credits, or transfers will not be issued for:

  • Late cancellations made within 24 hours of the appointment.
  • Missed appointments or no-shows.
  • Completed treatment sessions.

Gift vouchers, prepaid treatments, treatment packages, promotional sessions, and discounted services are generally non-refundable. Transfer requests may be considered at the discretion of Healing Hands by Payal.

If you have concerns regarding your treatment, please get in touch with us promptly so we can review the matter and address any issues appropriately.

Late Arrival Policy

We understand that delays can occasionally occur. If you anticipate arriving late, please notify us as soon as possible.

Late arrivals may result in a shortened treatment session to avoid impacting subsequent appointments. Treatments will still end at the originally scheduled time.

The full appointment fee remains payable regardless of the shortened treatment duration.

Clients arriving more than 15 minutes late may be considered a missed appointment and charged accordingly. In such circumstances, treatment may need to be rescheduled based on availability.

This policy helps ensure that all clients receive their appointments as scheduled.

Complaints Policy

At Healing Hands by Payal, client satisfaction and well-being are important priorities. We strive to provide a professional, comfortable, and positive treatment experience.

If you are dissatisfied with any aspect of your treatment, we encourage you to raise your concerns during or immediately following the session whenever possible.

Formal complaints should be submitted in writing or by email within 48 hours of your appointment.

All complaints will be handled professionally, fairly, and confidentially. We aim to acknowledge and respond to complaints within five business days and will make reasonable efforts to resolve concerns promptly.

Feedback is welcome as part of our commitment to continually improving our services.
