Need a break?
Take a Break aims to support you in meeting your emotional and physical needs.
We understand the complexity and difficulty of achieving work/life balance and the toll stress and isolation can take on your body, mind, and ability to meet your goals.
We aim to create connections between people who understand the value of self-care, confidentiality, and safety, who genuinely enjoy creating experiences that allow you to recharge and reconnect with yourself.
Is it time for some self-care? Please fill out this form if you’d like to schedule some “me” time.
Getting started
We’re excited to help you de-stress and take some time to indulge. You deserve it! Before booking, we ask that you complete a screening here.
A $100 e-gift card deposit will be required to confirm your first appointment or any booking longer than 2 hours.
We love what we do, too, and sometimes lose track of time. In the event that a booking goes over time, please compensate your provider accordingly.
Safety + Screening
Privacy and safety are of utmost importance to us. All new friends are subject to screening. To be approved, please submit (1) a photo of your ID or passport, and (2) a photo of you holding your ID or passport, with your face visible, and (3) a link to your LinkedIn with 200+ connections or other documentation of employment.
Please submit your information via our contact form.
References from reputable providers with active websites are appreciated. Please have any provider references email takeabreakchi @ proton.me
Communication
Please keep all communication professional and respectful. We do not respond to inappropriate messages or communication of any kind, regardless of if you have booked before. If you encounter a provider in public, do not assume they are alone, and do not approach them. Do not ask for or seek out a provider’s personal information. The unique relationship you have with your provider requires clear boundaries, safety, respect, and privacy.
Etiquette
Please be considerate of hygiene. Please wash your hands and help yourself to the complimentary mouthwash when you arrive. Towels are available if you would like to shower before your session. We encourage you to do so, as an indication of respect and intention of both parties having the best experience possible.
Cancellations
Life happens. If possible, please let us know as soon as possible if you need to cancel or reschedule. Cancellations within 24 hours of your booking will incur a 50% cancellation fee. Cancellations within 8 hours of your booking will incur a 100% cancellation fee, although half may be used toward a rescheduled date within 14 days.
Payments
Donations are accepted in exchange for time. Donations may be made in person or via Cash App with a blank memo line. If it is your first appointment, please send a $100 deposit via Amazon e-gift card to takeabreakchi @ proton.me to confirm your appointment. Tips and gifts are never expected but always appreciated.
