My hours vary by season of the year and day of the week. I offer scheduling times four days a week, and I try to have a day or two a week with early morning or late afternoon hours to help accommodate your busy schedule, too! My current availability is always visible in my client portal, where you can request appointments.

If you cannot attend a session, please cancel at least 24 hours beforehand to avoid the full session fee charge for late cancellations and no-shows.
