Appointments cancelled with less than 24 hours notice may be forfeited without opportunity to reschedule and no refund will be given. (Exception would be a real emergency that would not allow for any advance notice).

Note: if you are in the course, then this is only relevant for VIP clients. Group sessions can’t not be made up but are recorded so you can watch them anytime. And submit your questions in advance so are answered on the call.
