KNOW BEFORE YOU GO

take notes...

availability

I’m available 7 days a week across the Bay Area. I’m based in SF, but am happy to travel to you (DMTY) across the wider Bay Area (East/North/South) as far as Sacramento, Healdsburg, and Santa Cruz. DMTY bookings require a 3-hour minimum. For information about availability for longer dates and further travel (FMTY), please inquire.

deposits

I require either a flat $200 deposit for bookings 90 minutes or shorter, or 20% of the total for all others. This deposit is not refundable, but can be applied to future bookings in the event of cancellation by you. In rare circumstances when I have to cancel, the deposit will be fully refunded. If I have to cancel due to improper behavior, the deposit will not be refunded,

cancellations

Life happens! If your plans change, I ask that you let me know at least 24 hours in advance of our scheduled time. I’ll be happy to apply your deposit towards a future booking within 30 days. Cancellations within 24 hours of our scheduled time will forfeit your deposit, and multiple cancellations within 24 hours will require a 50% cancellation fee to rebook in the future.

screening

All new friends require a one-time screening, either via a recent photo + photo ID, or a recent photo + LinkedIn or email from a work address.

etiquette

Please plan to be on-time to our meeting — I'll always do the same. Please also bring my rate in an unsealed envelope (big bonus points for tucking it in a good book!), and immediately upon your arrival to me, place it in an obvious location on a counter, desk, etc. before heading into the restroom to freshen up. If I'm visiting you, please place it in the restroom beforehand and I'll freshen up upon my own arrival. You know what they say about cleanliness and godliness! This will ensure that we're off to a good start. What we do next is up to you...

communication

I prefer to receive booking inquiries from first-time friends via my booking form — it's designed to make the process easy and smooth, so we can take care of the details quickly, and save our time and energy for the fun stuff. Email is also fine, though, as long as you're detailed and specific in your request! I prefer to reserve texting for day-of communication only, and am unlikely to be available for booking this way. Regardless of the form, these channels are for booking purposes only — my dazzling wit can only be experienced in-person. Any explicit or inappropriate messages will be ignored, and may result in the cancellation of any bookings and forfeiture of deposit.

fmty fine print

I love nothing more than an indulgent trip, and would be thrilled to fly to you! Please be aware that a 50% deposit is required for all FMTY, and my FMTY rates are exclusive of transportation and lodging costs. I'll book those myself, but require reimbursement alongside the deposit. Finally, I'll need 6-7 hours of uninterrupted alone time in a separate, private bedroom for me to refresh, recharge, and be at my best!
