Company Info & Policy
DID YOU get a COVID-19 vaccine? If so, that’s great! However, you must wait at least 48 hrs. (2 days) before getting a massage or facial. Please contact us ASAP if you need to reschedule for this reason.
Due to the rapidly rising numbers in our area, FACE MASKS are now required for EVERYONE, regardless of whether you’ve received your COVID-19 vaccination. We continue to follow the guidance provided by the CDC, the Maryland Department of Health, and our own industry. Thank you for your continued compliance with these changing requirements.
INTAKE FORMS – If this is your first time working with us or if it has been a while and you need to update your contact information and / or medical considerations, please download and complete our Intake Form to bring with you. We have two Intake Forms that you may need to download, one for MASSAGE and one for FACIALS. If you are unable to complete your form ahead of time, please arrive 15 min. early to complete it herer so that your scheduled treatment can start on time.
PAYMENT – We require a credit card on file to schedule an appointment so that less contact will be necessary with our font desk staff. We will email your receipt for contact-less payment. Please confirm your payment information when you call upon arrival. BMC gift certificates may also be used.
ARRIVAL CHECK-IN VIA TEXT – Please reply to our automated text which you will receive 15 minutes before your scheduled appointment time or call (301-745-6490) from our parking lot when you arrive for your appointment. This will allow us to control the number of people in our lobby for social distancing requirements. We will let you know when your service provider is ready to welcome you. NOTE: If you get our voice mail when you call to check in, hang up and call again until your call is answered. Do not leave a message.
SCREENING – Before your scheduled service, you will be asked a few COVID-19 related questions. Please, reschedule your appointment if you have an elevated temp or any other flu-like symptoms.
PHYSICAL DISTANCING – Please continue to maintain physical distancing between individuals – to the extent possible during your treatment. Our front office has been rearranged and our lounge area is no longer available. Please let us know before your appointment if you will arrive with a caregiver to assist you before or after your treatment.
HAND WASHING – We reduce and disinfect as many high touch surfaces as possible. Our office is routinely cleaned, and we encourage our employees and customers to frequently wash their hands. You will be able to wash your hands with soap and water upon entering the treatment room. (All of our treatment rooms have sinks.)

Insurance Coverage
Please let us know before you book if you have a medical referral so we can schedule you with a Licensed Massage Therapist (LMT). We do not bill any insurance but we can provide a receipt upon request. If you have a health plan with a Health Savings Account (HSA) or Flexible Spending Account (FSA), you may want to look into whether you can use it to pay for your service.
Cancellation Policy
We require 24-HOURS NOTICE to cancel or reschedule an appointment. Failure to honor this policy may result in a LATE CANCELLATION FEE of 50% of the value of your service. Neglecting to call us (or leave a message in our voice mail) to cancel an appointment will result in a NO SHOW FEE of 100% of the value of your service. Exceptions are made for illness, emergencies and inclement weather.
Illness Prevention
We know how disappointing it is to find out your appointment needs to be moved or canceled due to illness. The last thing we want to do is spread our germs to you, and we certainly don’t want you to spread your germs to us. So we always understand if you need to cancel due to illness — and thank you for understanding when we need to do the same.
Early Arrival
If this is your first visit (or if it’s been a while since your last visit), please download and complete your intake form prior to arrival and bring it with you. You can download your MASSAGE INTAKE or FACIAL INTAKE form and bring it with your to your appointment.
Late Arrival
We understand that delays may occur that are beyond your control, but please call and let us know as quickly as possible. We may not be able to extend your service time if it impacts the therapist’s schedule. Depending on the circumstances, you may be charged for the full service.
Zero Tolerance Policy
We have zero tolerance for inappropriate behavior of clients or guests. This includes but is not limited to sexually or racially inappropriate comments, questions, or actions. Full payment will be required and we will ask you to leave our premises. Local law enforcement will be notified if necessary.
Wait List
If you can’t find the appointment you’re looking for, we invite you to be added to our Wait List. There may be a specific day or time, or maybe your favorite practitioner is not available. We will call you if the time opens up. You are under no obligation to take the appointment if it doesn’t work for you. There may be more than one person on the list for that time, so we will start by calling the one that’s been waiting longest. If we don’t reach you directly, we will attempt to reach the next person. Whoever answers or calls us back first gets the appointment.
Tips
Tips are always appreciated but never required. If you would like to add a tip on your credit card, please let us know before you check out so we can add it to your order. There is a $10 minimum purchase for credit cards. The best tip is for you to tell your family and friends about us — and for you to schedule appointments on a regular basis.
