Types of Forms

Policy Acknowledgement Form - This is a document that a client signs to signify they have read, understand, and comply with all policies held by the said business. They should receive a copy of the Policies and signed document.

In-take Forms - These forms are filled out by the client prior to the service or consultations to clarify what services the client needs and what their concerns are.
