I recently decided to take the plunge and engage an SP for the first time. After much research here I connected with an Ottawa provider who has garnered some good reviews. I contacted her by e-mail first, explaining what I was looking for and she asked me to call her. I did, and reached her on the second attempt. We had a lengthy conversation during which I expressed my inexperience. She was kind, professional and patient, made good suggestions and left me feeling very positive about the experience. As agreed, I called the next day to confirm the details, leaving her a message on her voice mail. When the time came, she was a no show. No call, no explanation. After waiting a couple of hours, I called back, leaving a polite message saying I'd be interested in setting another time if she was willing. Again, no return call. I was open, polite and forthright in my dealings with this woman: was it too much to expect a brief call or message to say "sorry I can't make it: something came up..I got a better offer...you sounded like a loser..." or whatever? So did I do something wrong? Or was I just expecting too much from an Ottawa SP. Just wondering.
