I've asked you for a deposit — don't be alarmed (and don't take it personally). No, I'm not running a scam, I don't want to find out your banking information, and I won't take off with your cash. A deposit allows me to prepare for our date while demonstrating your intent and excitement.

Deposits are payable via e-transfer or e-gift card to retailers of my suggestion. E-transfers and e-gift cards can be directed to my alternate, discreet email address. Deposits are applied to your booking, so upon meeting you'll only need to provide the remainder owing.

Deposits are nonrefundable in the event that you cancel within 48 hours of our booking, or in the event that I deem that our booking is unsafe to proceed with in any way. In the rare event that I have collected a deposit, but I need to cancel, you will have the option of a full refund or to apply the deposit to a future booking.

Prepare yourself as you would for a date, or dinner with a friend; freshly shaven, comfortably dressed, recently showered. If you have a beverage to share, wait for me to arrive to pop the cork. Call the front desk for some extra towels — I require at least one for myself, and one to protect your linens from massage oil.

Ready my consideration by tucking it into an unsealed envelope, hallmark card, or book from my reading list (my fave). I accept Canadian dollars both in cash and via e-transfer and American dollars at par.

Feeling generous? Cash gifts are gratefully accepted—and remembered with fond affection.

I will give you detailed instructions regarding finding and entering my studio. To maintain the privacy and discretion of my studio, I expect these instructions to be followed exactly.

Be confident in your actions and do not call me on the phone or mention my name while in the lobby or common areas of my building.

Upon arriving on my floor, do not knock on the door of my studio. If the door does not swing open immediately, send me a quick text to let me know that you're at my door. Keep your voice low, wait to verbally greet me until the door has closed, and avoid "shop talk" while near the entryway.

Life can be messy, and sometimes cancelling a rendezvous is necessary. My cancellation policy is as follows:

48+ hours prior to booking: I expect a $100 administrative fee to be sent at time of cancellation.

Within 48 hours of booking: I expect a 50% cancellation fee to be sent at the time of cancellation and will require a 100% nonrefundable deposit for any future bookings.

Within 24 hours of booking: I expect a 100% cancellation fee to be sent at the time of cancellation and will require a 100% nonrefundable deposit for any future bookings.

Cancellation fees, like deposits, are payable via e-transfer or e-gift card to a retailer of my suggestion

I am always excited to learn that our time together was as special and fun for you as it was for myself. Having said that, I am not the type to kiss and tell. I have a no-review and no discussion policy, and ask that you respect my wishes to not be discussed publicly or privately on review boards.

However, if you'd like to send me a testimonial to post on the front page of my site. please do not hesitate to pen a cheeky pg-13 note and send it to me directly.
