An initial consultation (in-person or virtual) is recommended but not required to discuss services, availability, and pricing.

For single-session services, full payment (100%) is required at the time of booking to confirm your appointment.

For multiple-session or package bookings, a 50% non-refundable deposit is required to confirm your booking.

The remaining 50% balance may be paid in one or more instalments according to the agreed payment schedule.

Instalment schedules must be completed before the final session date.

Deposits are valid for 6 months from the date of payment, after which they become void.

For international clients, full payment may be required in advance due to currency conversion considerations.

2.2 Payment Methods

Invoices are issued for all services.

Accepted payment methods:

  • Bank transfer (preferred)

  • Credit/debit card payments

Instalment payments must be made according to the dates stated on the invoice. Late payments may result in rescheduling delays or temporary suspension of services until payment is received in full.

All prices are quoted in Euros (EUR) and include Dutch VAT where applicable.

2.4 Instalment Payment Terms

Instalment options are available only for multi-session or package bookings with a total value above €300.
