Please note that daytime hours are typically unavailable due to primary obligations. Availability is instead limited to evenings and weekends – with corresponding surcharges applied. These time slots are not guaranteed and may vary depending on ongoing commitments.
We do not adjust availability based on client urgency. Advance scheduling is strongly recommended; last-minute or ad hoc work is generally not accepted.
Minimum Booking Duration
To ensure that our time together is productive and efficient, all engagements require a minimum booking duration of 1 hour. This helps prevent administrative overhead from outweighing the actual work, ensuring both parties get the most value out of the collaboration.
