For those of you who charge a flat monthly rate, how do you handle missed sessions? I’m especially curious about vacations, extended vacations (over a week), work conflicts clients know about ahead of time, same-day sick days, or someone being sick for several days in a row. Do you offer reschedules? If so, how flexible are you with them? I’d love to hear how others structure this while maintaining “my monthly rate reserves my recurring spot in your schedule” back toward tracking and counting individual sessions to accommodate absences. And if anyone has written cancellation/rescheduling policies they’re willing to share, I’d really appreciate seeing them so I can compare them to mine.
