SCHEDULING 

Payments for DREAM SESSIONS & ELEMENTAL CONSULTATIONS are due at booking.

BASIC DESIGN & LIFESTYLE PLAN require a 10% deposit to schedule.

All the above scheduling fees are non-refundable.  Canceled appointments or no-shows will be offered a one-time opportunity to reschedule.

 

 

Implementation Referrals:

Implementation referrals are available after a paid site visit and consultation with the client. 

(We recommend that client’s oversee the implementation process, since the system’s success is entirely dependent on their observations and involvement.)

Additional expenses:

In addition to those already mentioned above, client properties that are more than 10 miles outside of the Nashville Metro area (Davidson County TN), are required to pay the standard IRS mileage allowance.  Client visits requiring overnight stays will be charged expenses by mutually agreed upon terms.
