If you choose a consulting package, the time is yours to use at whatever speed matches your goals and work style. The time does not expire and is non-refundable. Because we're invested in your success and want to see you continuing to move forward, and because we keep our schedules limited in order to provide individualized support for each client, we require 7 days' notice for cancellations. Appointments cancelled with less than 7 days' notice will be counted against your package, so please plan carefully to prioritize your business success.
