Coaching Agreement & Waiver
Procedure
Once you have selected and purchased a treatment, you will be directed to a page with available dates/times for our sessions. Once completed you will receive a confirmation email and I will receive your booking. Please plan on at least two sessions a month for 1 hour (60 minutes) each. The first session will be 1.5 hours (80 minutes), due to your intake information that we will discuss.
Reschedule
Please let me know 24 hours in advance if you need to reschedule any session. You will be charged for the session if you cancel/reschedule/no-show a session less than 24 hours in advance. I ask for a commitment of 16 weeks (2 sessions a month). After that time, we can re-evaluate your situation and the outcome of the work we have done together and make any further agreements.
Preparation
After your initial intake session and discussion, you will be given “homework” for our next session and consequent follow-up sessions. This includes but is not limited to you completing the activity/emotions sheet- these forms a vital part of the treatment and I expect you to bring your part. You will email me the sheet the day before our next session but still update it till our session.
Expectations
To achieve the best out of our journey together open communication is key. Please be honest with yourself and me throughout the process. I will be constructive, supportive, and to the point, and our session will be treated as confidential. Feel free to express anything to me, whether it's positive or negative, and don't hesitate to inform me if something makes you feel uncomfortable or if you prefer not to answer a question. If you feel there are additional concerns that you would like to address please feel free to let me know anytime during our sessions. As your supportive health coach, my role is to assist you in reaching your health goals by providing valuable insights, posing thought-provoking questions, and occasionally making direct requests, while always honoring your autonomy to accept, decline, or propose alternatives that suit your comfort and personal development.
Retainer
This retainer includes the number of sessions stated in the purchased package plus email support Monday–Friday during office hours.
Termination
Because of the time, scope, and nature of the work, the initial contract is for four (4) months of
coaching. You can continue our journey on a month-to-month basis, the fees will be discussed once we are at that point. As a courtesy, I would appreciate it if you give me advance notice of a month should you wish to terminate our journey. Payment in full will be due for the current month.
Confidentiality
I recognize that during our work, you may give me the following: future plans, health information, financial information, job information, goals, personal information, and other proprietary information. I will not at any time, either directly or indirectly, use any information for my benefit, disclose, or communicate in any manner any information to any third party. I will not divulge that you and I are in a coaching relationship without your permission. I will hold everything that we say and do confidential unless you present a physical danger to yourself or others. In this case, I will inform legal authorities so that protective measures can be taken. In addition, you should know that unlike a physician or a lawyer our confidentiality agreement is not protected by law. Should it ever happen, I cannot claim in court to be unable to divulge the contents of our conversations.
Nature of the relationship
The services provided and that I wish to receive are those of a holistic nature and do not serve as a substitute for professional medical advice, examination, diagnosis, or treatment. The opinion is that of a holistic, complementary, and alternative therapist and their professional opinions, advice, examinations, and recommendations do NOT constitute the medical advice of a doctor/physician.
Waiver
You will be requred to sign and date a client waiver prior to our work together
