CLIENT AGREEMENT & RELEASE

This agreement sets the context in which you will achieve the outcome you want. It also covers some of the issues of laws governing our relationship.

Integrative Wellness & Life Coaching

 1.    What to expect: Your alternative practitioner/Coach has been trained and certified in Integrative Wellness & Life Coaching and Emotional Clearing Method and will be using these tools and techniques. The work will probably be different from what you might have expected. In total, we will not spend a lot of time talking about the problem, just gathering information about it. In fact, most sessions are spent on the things that will help resolve the problem. It is very important for us to discover the internal process and core of HOW & WHY you experience the problem and what is blocking you from moving forward. If you have been in a therapy session before, expect that this will be very different, and quite a bit shorter.

2.    This is the process: We begin with a client intake session that will be similar to a first visit with a doctor or therapist where much of your history will be reviewed. This is a question and answer heavy process and lays a strong foundation of discovery in order to move forward. 

3.    After the session: Together, we come up with an action plan that will include some very specific tasks for you to do. Do your best to complete these; however, YOU are the one who will determine what feels like an appropriate amount of “work” or “action steps” given the amount of time, energy and resources you have to work on achieving the results you desire. These action steps are absolutely a fundamental part of the process. They may take up to several days or weeks to complete.

4.    This is alternative or complementary health care and therapy: Your Integrative Wellness & Life Coach is a Complementary Healthcare Provider, and not a medical doctor, psychiatrist, or psychologist, and does not have a Masters in Family and Child Counseling nor a Masters in Social Work. The services you receive are not specifically licensed in this state, nor or they regulated by a governmental body. The self-regulated holistic treatments and client-centered disciplines in which your practitioner is trained and in which they have experience include consulting, coaching, and ECM (Emotional Clearing Method). Nothing that happens here should be construed as a substitute for the advice of a licensed professional.  We will always provide only those services in which we have been trained, and if we find that we cannot help you, we will refer you to a licensed person who can assist you.

Coaching

Professional coaching brings many wonderful benefits, such as fresh perspectives on personal challenges, enhanced decision-making skills, greater interpersonal effectiveness, increased confidence, and more. Those who undertake coaching also can experience appreciable improvement in productivity, satisfaction with life and work, and the attainment of relevant goals. Coaching is defined as partnering with clients in a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires them to overcome core issues and maximize their personal and professional potential.

 Coaches honor the client as the expert in their life and work and believe every client is creative, resourceful and whole. Standing on this foundation, the Coach's responsibility is to:

•Discover, clarify, and align with what the client wants to achieve

•Encourage client self-discovery

•Elicit client-generated solutions and strategies

•Help the client take responsibility for their outcomes and hold the client responsible and accountable

This process helps clients dramatically improve their outlook on work and life, while improving their leadership skills and unlocking their potential. Your practitioner is a Certified Integrative Wellness & Life Coach, as accredited by the Integrative Wellness Academy.

Your Choice, Your Responsibility

During the sessions, we may offer you advice and other ways of looking at any and all presenting problems and their solutions for your consideration. You hereby agree that whatever we discuss is only our perspective and is not binding upon you, nor is it a prescription. If you want to discuss our suggestions with someone else, you should discuss them with a licensed health care provider.  It is your responsibility to confirm whether or not any changes we made produced the desired results. It is your responsibility to communicate your results to us.  Coaching is not therapy and does not substitute for therapy. It is not intended to prevent, cure, or treat any mental disorder or medical disease. If you are currently under the care of a mental health professional, it is recommended that you promptly inform them of the nature and extent of the coaching to be provided.

 Rescheduling and Missed Appointments: 6-12 Month Coaching Agreements

Appointments can be rescheduled up to 24 hours to the appointment.  We understand that emergencies happen.  If this occurs, you will receive one “free pass” where there will not be a charge if cancelled within 24 hours or the appointment was missed for coaching programs.  After the first cancellation or missed appointment, you will be charged for the hour at the previously agreed upon rate for all following missed/cancelled appointments (within 24 hours). 

 Rescheduling and Missed Appointments: Insight Sessions

Appointments can be rescheduled up to 24 hours to the appointment.  Insight sessions are non-refundable but we will be happy to reschedule or gift your session to someone else if you are no longer able to make it or utilize the session.

 Email Correspondence

Email correspondence is included within week to week session rates.  Please note, we will respond to emails as soon as possible but please allow two business days for a response.  

Confidentiality

All client information is kept strictly confidential, is for our internal use only, and will not be disclosed to persons outside our company, except as may be required by law, or if the Coach reasonably believes there to be an imminent or likely risk of danger or harm to the client or others.  Note that the Coach-Client relationship is not considered a legally confidential relationship (unlike the physician-patient, psychotherapist-patient, attorney-client, or clergy-penitent relationship), and therefor communications are not subject to the protection of any legally recognized privilege.

Tarot Reading

Tarot reading is subject to interpretation and should not be taken as absolute. A tarot reading is never 100% accurate.  All tarot readings given by me are for entertainment purposes only, and no guarantee can be given as to the accuracy of a reading. A tarot reading does not replace professional medical/legal/business opinion and advice. It will not force you to follow a particular course of action or attempt to exert any form of control over your free-will and common sense. The contents of a tarot reading are not legally binding. Any decisions made, or actions taken by you as a result of your tarot reading are your sole responsibility and have not been forced upon you, by me, your tarot reader.  I assume no legal liability for any damages, losses, or other consequences of any client decisions, subsequent to, or based on, my tarot readings. Please use your own common sense and judgement at all times. It is only with the complete understanding and acceptance of the above that your reading will take place.
