Scheduling an Appointment

Scheduling an Appointment

(360) 756-0243 - Bellingham, WA, USA

Please call our office to schedule an appointment. We treat clients from all over the U. S. and the world (see map and list). Since we are often in treatment sessions during the day, we have a message system to receive your calls. We will make every attempt to get back to you within the same day. Please provide the following information:

1) Name and phone number
2) Best time of day to reach you
3) How long of a session you seek (2-hour; 3-hour, or 4-hours)
4) Who referred you (we want to thank them!)

PLEASE SPEAK SLOWLY WHEN GIVING US YOUR PHONE NUMBER (otherwise we can’t get back to you)! There is a tendency to speak quickly when giving a phone number. Please say each number distinctly. Thanks.

Tandem Sessions
We do offer tandem sessions (sessions where two therapists work on you at the same time, sometimes called "four hands"). Please give us advance notice to schedule tandem blocks of time for both therapists. Some tandem work may be recommended by your therapist for difficult or complex compensation patterns. Tandem sessions are also beneficial for clients who seek to get more done in a shorter amount of time, such as traveling from outside the area. In addition, tandem work is simply preferred by some clients.

Healing Process - Chronic Pain or Chronic Conditions
We also recommend that you review our web page on Healing and Inspiration. This is especially important for clients who are suffering from chronic pain or chronic conditions, however it is applicable to every client and their healing process.

Special Arrangements -
    Clients Located Outside Our Local Area

We have clients who come to our clinic from outside the US or from out-of-state within the US (see map and list). Please let us know if you fall into this category and we will discuss treatment scheduling options with you. If we are given enough lead time to schedule, we can block out consecutive days of treatment sessions and/or set up longer sessions.

Some client choose to come for a week and get treatment each day, then fly back to their state or country.

We can set up hotel reservations for you, often at a discounted rate. We have a full range of hotels and prices to choose from, depending upon your financial situation.

Special Arrangements -
    Clients Located Outside Our Local Area

We have many clients who come from the Seattle, Washington area for treatment at our clinic. Depending upon where you live, the trip takes about 1.5 hours if there are no traffic issues. Clients usually schedule a 3-hour session when they come from Seattle. When you schedule an appointment, please let us know if you live in the Seattle area so that we discuss the appropriate length of treatment and schedule your appointment so that it best fits the traffic patterns of I-5. We can also schedule back-to-back appointments on two days if you would like to stay overnight.

"Destination-Retreat Sessions"

If we get enough interest, we can set up special "destination-retreats" to provide treatment for a week at remote locations, such as Costa Rica, Hawaii, Mexico, or even Europe. Several clients have even offered us lodging in Europe for this type of event.

The general plan for retreats is to treat a limited number of clients in the morning, with time off for relaxation and fun in the afternoon. Some evening sessions are possible. The location is dependent upon the needs and preferences of the clients and the availability of services. The cost of sessions depends upon the location. Let us know if this type of event interests you or others in your area.
