If I join the waitlist, how long should I expect to wait for an appointment?"My books usually fill up very fast. I'm generally booked out 3-4 months in advance. I keep track of my waitlist and send out an email for those clients to book once every 4-6 months. At that time appointments are first come first serve, and just know that you may not be able to book your first visit until 8-12 weeks into the future. My waitlist is a way I can manage my schedule so that I can give current guests priority. After your first visit with me you can book online freely for the future.
