IT'S HOLIDAY GIFT CERTIFICATE SPECIAL TIME
Although we're a little late getting started this year (thanks to my leg taking me out of commission for a while),
the annual holiday gift certificate special begins today, November 17th, 2008. It will run until January 1st, 2009.
This will allow you to purchase gift certificates at $25 for one, $45 for two, and $60 for three, essentially receiving
one session free for each group of three. Payment can be made through Paypal or via personal check or money
order, and gift certificates are delivered via email as a pdf attachment. In the rare cases where people don't have
access to email, I will print and mail the paper certificates on request. As always: Gift certificates are good for one
year from the date of purchase (which, in the case of the holiday special, will always be listed as December 25th,
2008). Other specials and discounts do not apply to sessions purchased through a gift certificate, and the
certificates are not refundable.
- Rates are $30 base rate per half hour session, longer sessions charged by the minute, via telephone or email. As of November 1st, 2007, due to rising travel costs and severe limits on my time, I am no longer offering in-person sessions (exception: see "parties and gatherings" below).
- For telephone sessions, the client calls me at the indicated phone number at the scheduled time. There will be a fifteen minute leeway because I understand that clients sometimes are running behind, but if more than fifteen minutes passes the time scheduled is no longer guaranteed.
- *New!* As of March 2008, I am also offering instant messaging Voice Chat sessions. This provides the benefits of a telephone session, without the cost of a phone call to the client. All you need to utilize this option is a broadband connection, either a headset with headphones and microphone, or a computer microphone and headphones or speakers, and a current version of Yahoo Instant Messenger, AOL's AIM, or Skype (all free software). If you request a voice chat session, we will exchange user names for the program option of your choice. I do slightly prefer Yahoo's software, as the sound quality is slightly better, but the others work well, also.
- Those requesting that I send healing energy only will receive that service free of charge.
- An average session will last up to 30 minutes and will include up to three animals per session. This is because I realize that many situations will involve more than one household member, but more than three animals in session at once may become too confusing and the quality of time I can devote to each individual may diminish.
Sessions which go over half an hour will incur the additional charge of $1/minute.
- I'm available for parties and gatherings within an hour radius of Middleburgh, NY. Is your kennel club, or other group, hosting a party or dinner where you would like to make animal communication mini-sessions available? I offer such events at the rate of $20 for a 15-minute mini-session per member (the slightly higher "minute" rate is to compensate partially for travel expenses), where members provide either the animal or a photo and a primary issue they wish to cover. Please call at least two weeks in advance, and understand that, due to time constraints and travel expenses, availability is extremely limited. I no longer offer private in-person sessions.
- Please e-mail or call in advance and schedule an appointment. Consultations can be paid for by via PayPal online payment service. If you choose to use PayPal, please visit http://www.paypal.com and select to Send Money or email me and ask to be invoiced. Enter either gayle@gazehound.com or allcreatures@gazehound.com as the recipient of your payment. You may need to register with PayPal to use the service.
Second choice for payment will be money orders. While I do accept personal checks if it is the only convenient method, please be aware that all penalties and chargeback fees for checks that do not clear will be the responsibility of the client. For more information on payment and my "satisfaction guaranteed" policies, please use the links at the top of this page.
- I offer free consultations for STOLA (Saluki Tree of Life Alliance, Inc.) rescue Salukis while they are under the legal ownership of STOLA, plus, at the Saluki's Regional Coordinator's request and with the new owner's consent, free consultations with the dog during the adjustment period in her new home (first six weeks). All other official rescue organizations receive a discounted rate (see below) if they request it and have a verifiable presence in the rescue community (such as IRS non-profit status).
- Discounts and special rates: All discounts will be calculated at 20% off the half-hour rate. This includes discounts for referrals and official rescue organizations/presences. (See above and below)
- Due to the fact that many referred clients forget to tell me that they have been referred, it will be required that the referring (existing) client who has sent the new person to me inform me that they wish a referral credit and provide me with the name of the person they have referred. Referral credits are only available if the referred person has sent in payment. Payment by the new client must be received within thirty (30) days, for the referring client to claim the credit.
- Only one referral credit discount may be applied per session. It is preferred that the referral credit be redeemed within one year of the referral, to simplify record keeping.
- Please note: I am currently not accepting missing pet cases except for
cases from existing clients.
- I offer consultations with pets who have passed on, as well.
