I take great pride in showing mutual respect toward the provider, acknowledging their boundaries, personal space, and time. It is quite simple to ask rather than assume that something is acceptable, to remain courteous, and to be considerate of another person’s schedule. Maintaining proper hygiene also speaks volumes.
Whenever I engage someone’s services, I make every effort to behave respectfully, even in the rare instance that the same courtesy is not immediately returned. Once an appointment is agreed, I ensure I arrive punctually, well-groomed, fresh-smelling, and with clean breath. I always allow the provider to set the tone, taking their lead at all times.
