Usually this is not a problem as our appointments are in your home however sometimes things happen. Our beauty or massage professional can wait for half of the scheduled appointment time, for example, if you booked a Makeup appointment, the artist can wait up to 30 minutes for you. Please note that the end time of your appointment remains the same and the professional will do as much as they can for you in the allotted time.

All appointments are subject to availability. Our peak days of operation include Friday, Saturday and Sunday. It’s best to book in advance, and you can also check back for additional availability, if you’re unable to schedule an appointment for your desired date & time we can add you to a waitlist.

If your plans change, we require a minimum 24 hours notice for cancellations, reschedules or booking changes to provide a refund. Refunds take 5-10 days to reach your account. Cancellations that occur less than 24 hours to the booking time will not be issued a refund and will be charged the full amount of the booking price. A $50 Fee applies if an appointment is rescheduled or cancelled within 24 hours, or in the event of a no-show without notice. To reduce the likelihood of cancellations, in addition to your booking confirmation we will send you a reminder Email 2 days prior and an SMS reminder the day prior.

Scheduling appointments means that both you and your practitioner are committed to your ongoing health and wellbeing. In other words, we want to see you and take care of you! In addition to your initial booking confirmation, we send you a friendly reminder email 48hrs before your session and a SMS the day before to prevent the necessity of late notice changes.

We require a $50 deposit to confirm: All Initial Consults, Consults 90mins and over, and all Packages. This deposit is non-refundable in the event of an appointment cancellation or reschedule within 24hours or a no-show without notice. In the event of a booking change within 24 hours, the retained deposit serves to cover part of the wages and expenses payable to reduce some of the loss incurred by Healing Cove, so we are able to keep doing what we love!

Healing Cove is a small independent business without the margins of a large enterprise; and we want to continue to offer our unique, personalised services. Unlike many other massage practices, Remedial Massage Therapists at Healing Cove are employed as valued Health Professionals under the Health Professionals & Support Services Award. Whether your appointment is cancelled or ‘rescheduled’ to a different day; in the event that this happens within 24hours, your practitioner’s wages still need to be paid for their time on that day, despite no longer have a paying client.

If you’re feeling sick and need to change your appointment within 24hrs, to avoid the Late Notice Fee, why not consider sending someone else in your place? We do understand that sickness does happen, however, if we do not have anyone on waitlist who can take your place in the event of a change within 24hrs, it leaves us at a loss. We really dislike having to charge a late notice but sadly, such fees are required to keep our much-loved practitioners paid and our little business going.
