In this case there is a special right of withdrawal for 4 weeks after receipt of the information without any costs for the customer.

In case of booking the following applies:

9.5 The client informs Mireli Vargas Fernandez immediately of any discomfort that may occur during a session (such as pain, dizziness, discomfort).

11.1 The offers of Mireli Vargas Fernandez with the exception of coaching, are also possible as pure audio chat messages via the messenger service “WhatsApp”.
