Re: CANCELLATIONS
I write this with a heavy heart and whilst it's not aimed at any particular individual, I ask that you all take the time to read it.

As a small business short notice cancellations do have a massive impact. People often think it doesn't matter because I work from home and I can just have a rest. But it does matter, I still have to pay fixed business costs, I still have to leave the heating on and heated blanket on during your missed appointment so that the room remains warm for the next client and I don't earn a wage when appointments are left unfilled. Imagine going to work and being told that you aren't going to get paid the wage you were expecting! You would then worry about how you are going to pay your bills.

Recently, I've been fully booked weeks in advance and have had to turn clients away, for people to then cancel and that appointment slot remain empty. I understand many people have been unwell recently and things happen that are unavoidable but it is no longer sustainable. I have seen so many good therapists leave the industry this past year and I completely understand why.

In October, I ended up being at a loss of £750 from cancellations less than 4 days before. This week alone has seen over £250 in short notice cancellations. July and August weren't brilliant either!

In order for me to remain in business I have been left with no choice but to update the cancellation policy. Details of which will be provided shortly.

I am appreciative of everyone's custom but to keep the high standard of service and to remain open these changes have to be enforced.

A CALM, RELAXING space to switch off for an hour or two.

SSL Massage Therapies is not a shop. It is my home, and whilst the space is multi-use, and by that, I mean used by myself and my family when I'm not working. I hope you'll appreciate how much effort has gone into making it a tranquil room. My clients love to have some time out in here and they don't want to leave after their treatment is over. I love to switch on the aroma diffuser, open the blinds, look out over my garden, and enjoy a coffee whilst reading a good book. My teenagers love to use it as a calm study space, and the dog loves the air con in the summer (and that's when you all ask to move in) 😂

I hope you all like the NEW navy linen and are enjoying seasonal oils that I have sourced for the autumn and winter months? Your feedback is much appreciated.

Michelle 🙂

Today, someone really touched my heart when they said "Michelle, you were the only person that believed me". I can't provide details as it is confidential but I can't emphasise how important your listening skills are as a manual therapist and trust your instincts!
