Booking Services

I'm a new client — how do I book?

Welcome! Here's how to get started based on the service you're interested in:

  • Body contouring (new clients): A consultation is required before your first session. Book the 45-minute Bodied by Bourne Consultation ($20) to review your intake forms and complete a thorough evaluation of your target areas.
  • Sugaring: Can be booked directly online. Hair must be at least 1/8 inch long (about a grain of rice).
  • Returning body contouring clients: Can book sessions directly online.

If you're unsure what to book or don't see the right option, email us at bodiedbybourne@gmail.com.

Why is a consultation required for body contouring?

Not everyone is the perfect candidate for every non-invasive body contouring treatment. The consultation lets us review your intake forms, assess your target areas, and recommend the right approach for your goals and health profile — so every session you book afterward is set up for real results.

How many sessions will I need to see results from body contouring?

Most clients see the most visible and lasting results in a specific area after 3 to 6 consistent sessions. For best results, we recommend prioritizing and dedicating multiple sessions to your focus areas rather than spreading them too thin.

Is a deposit required to book?

Yes. A non-refundable 25% deposit is required at booking unless stated otherwise.

Do you offer packages?

Yes — packages reward your commitment with a discount and include extra support to enhance your results.

In addition to your sessions, every package includes a series of juices, shots, and teas to support your journey, access to healthy recipe substitutions, and workouts targeted to your body goals.

What is sugaring and how is it different from waxing?

Sugaring is a gentle, natural hair removal method that works with your skin instead of against it. It's a great alternative if you've struggled with ingrown hairs, scarring, or irritation from shaving or waxing.

How long does my hair need to be for sugaring?

At least 1/8 inch — about the length of a grain of rice. Use the timing below to choose the right service:

  • 3–6 weeks of growth: Book Brazilian Maintenance
  • 6+ weeks of growth (or first-time Brazilian): Book a regular Brazilian
What's your cancellation and rescheduling policy?
  • Appointments cannot be rescheduled or canceled online within 24 hours of your appointment time.
  • Cancellations within 24 hours forfeit the deposit.
  • Arrivals 15 minutes or more late will result in your appointment being canceled and the deposit forfeited.

Waist Trainers

How do I choose the right size?

Measure your natural waist (the smallest part) and compare it to the size chart on the product page. If you're between sizes and actively on your weight loss or body sculpting journey, size down and grow into your results.

What's the difference between the Premium and Classic collections?
  • Premium Collection — A sleeker, more sculpted fit that runs smaller, designed for dramatic compression and enhanced definition.
  • Classic Collection — A more balanced, everyday fit offering structure, comfort, and reliable shaping you can wear throughout your routine.
How long should I wear my waist trainer?

Start with 1–2 hours daily and increase gradually. It should feel snug, not painful. Stay hydrated, listen to your body, and pair consistent wear with movement and routine for best results.

How do I care for my waist trainer?

Hand wash only in cold water with mild detergent. Lay flat to dry. Do not machine wash, dry, or use heat. If you're using body oils, wrap your waist with saran wrap before wearing to protect the fabric.

For a longer wear life, rotate between 2 trainers, fasten from bottom to top for the best fit, and wear over a thin layer if needed for comfort.

What's your return policy on waist trainers?

Returns are eligible within 5 days of receiving your order. Conditions apply. We recommend trying on your waist trainer as soon as it arrives so we can assist with any size adjustments quickly.

Body Oils

How should I store my oils?

Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat. Always seal the bottle tightly when not in use. Avoid introducing water into the bottle — don't apply with wet hands, as moisture affects the quality and shelf life.

How long does the oil last?

For optimal results, use within 6–9 months of opening.

Are your oils safe for sensitive skin?

Our oils are crafted to nourish and soften, but everyone's skin is different. Always patch test first and discontinue use if irritation occurs. If you have specific skin concerns, consult a healthcare professional before use. For external use only.

How do I perform a patch test?

Apply a small amount of oil to a discreet area of skin — the inside of your wrist or elbow works well — and wait 24 hours before using it more broadly. If you notice any redness, irritation, or discomfort, discontinue use. We always recommend reviewing the ingredient list carefully if you have known sensitivities or allergies.

How do I apply my body oil?

Apply to clean, slightly damp skin for best absorption. Massage gently using upward, circular motions. Use daily or as needed.

Cold-Pressed Juice

How does juice ordering work?

Orders open every Monday at 9 AM and close Friday at 9 PM — or sooner if we sell out. Every order is freshly cold-pressed within 24 hours of your pickup or delivery.

What are my pickup and delivery options?
  • Sunday pickup — FREE. Pick up Sunday between 5 PM and 8 PM. The location is confirmed at checkout and in your order confirmation. Text 647-960-9757 with your order number on arrival.
  • Monday delivery — $20. Available to local areas only. Enter your address at checkout to confirm availability.
  • Flex pickup — $15. Need an alternate day? Select flex pickup when adding to cart and we'll reach out within 24 hours to confirm a time. Limited to 2 slots per week, first come, first served.
How do I know if delivery is available in my area?

Select "Monday delivery" when adding to cart, then enter your address at checkout. If delivery isn't available to your address, you'll be notified right there and can switch to Sunday pickup or flex pickup.

How long does the juice last?

Best consumed within 3–4 days of receiving. There are no preservatives, so freshness and flavor will gradually fade over time.

How should I store my juice?

Refrigerate immediately and always store in the coldest part of your fridge — not the door. Shake well before drinking; separation is completely natural.

How often should I drink it?

We recommend 1 bottle daily — morning or afternoon is ideal. Count it toward your daily hydration. It's not intended as a meal replacement.

Herbal Tea Blends

How should I store my tea?

Keep tea bags or loose herbs tightly sealed in a cool, dry place away from moisture.

What if I have questions about my blend?

Reach out anytime. Your tea journey is personal, and we're happy to help you choose what's right for your body and get the most out of every cup.

How do I prepare my tea?

Use 1 tablespoon per 16 oz of hot water (maximum). Let the herbs steep fully before drinking.

Can I reuse the herbs?

Yes. Each serving gives you up to 2 cups. After your first cup, add more hot water to the same herbs and let steep again until ready. You can leave the second cup at room temperature briefly or refrigerate it for later.

How should I drink blends containing horsetail?

Horsetail is a powerful herb that works best in balance. Follow a 5 days on / 2 days off cycle and avoid long-term use without breaks.

This is your journey. Your discipline. Your transformation. And every step you take deserves to feel as powerful as it looks.
