Request to be added to my waitlist to book an appointment.
If you click Book Now and don’t see the “I’m a New Client” option, it simply means my schedule is currently full and I’m unable to welcome new clients at this time. I’m truly grateful for your interest in working with me. I offer a waitlist for non-emergent situations for those who are able and prefer to wait for an opening. To try to maintain the wait time as reasonably as possible I offer limited slots on this waitlist. If slots are full and the waitlist is closed please check back periodically for open slots. The wait time can vary, sometimes just a few weeks and other times a few months. If you’d like to inquire about being added to the waitlist, please send your request through my contact form by clicking here.
Please note that once an appointment invitation has been extended, I allow one week for a response and booking confirmation. If I do not hear back within that time, the appointment offer will be released to the next person on the waitlist. This policy helps ensure fairness and timely access for everyone currently waiting.
