Disclaimer

I am not a therapist, psychologist, or nutritionist. Please be aware that in the state of Georgia, one must be licensed to provide a diagnosis, practice therapy, or set goals around nutrition. Therefore, I will not provide therapy, counseling, or diagnostic services. My clients should always consult a licensed professional for those services listed above. If you are under the care of any other professional, you agree to complete THIS FORM.

Consult your current professionals

You understand that if you are under the care of or begin the care of a therapist or other licensed professional, you acknowledge and agree to accept all responsibility for reviewing coaching suggestions with a licensed professional before following said suggestions. Further, you agree to complete THIS FORM for each provider you are currently seeing.

Inherent Risks & Responsibility

As with any program, there may exist inherent risks that may be relative to the state of health, awareness, care, and skill with which you conduct yourself. You agree that it is your responsibility to inquire about any recommendations with which you are not familiar and provide any information which may limit your participation.

Results & Changes

Results and changes for yourself or your family may vary depending on medical conditions, medications, family systems, and accuracy in following suggested guidelines.

4) Procedure

The time of the coaching meetings and/or location will be determined by Coach and Client based on a mutually agreed upon time. The Coach will initiate all scheduled calls and will call the Client at the number provided on the appointment form for all scheduled meetings. If the Client will be at any other number for a scheduled call, Client will notify the Coach prior to the scheduled appointment time.

Video Conferencing is an option for us to conduct remote sessions over the internet where we not only can speak to one another, but we may also see each other on a screen. I utilize Zoom. If we choose to utilize this technology, I will give you detailed directions regarding how to log-in securely. You are responsible for initiating the connection with me at the time of your appointment. 

I strongly suggest that you only communicate through a computer or device that you know is safe (e.g., has a firewall, anti-virus software installed, is password protected, not accessing the internet through a public wireless network, etc.).

It is the client's responsibility to communicate only through devices that are secure as described above.The client must choose a secure location to interact with technology-assisted media and to be aware that family, friends, employers, co-workers, strangers, and hackers could either overhear your communications or have access to the technology that you are interacting with. 

  1. Your sessions must be scheduled within 7 months of Purchase, or it is forfeited.
  2. If you do not attend the scheduled session and times, your session is forfeited.
  3. If you must cancel or reschedule, you must do so at least 1 day in advance, or your session will be forfeited.
  4. Sessions must be private and without distractions. The coach has the right to end the session if the setting is not appropriate for coaching and the session may be forfeited.
  5. If you cancel, no-show, or must reschedule, the process and policies will be repeated.

Discuss with Your Doctor/Medications

As your general behavior and wellness may change with modifications in parenting, nutrition, and/or lifestyle, physician-prescribed medications may require modification. It is your responsibility to discuss this with your physician. Never reduce or eliminate physician-prescribed medications without the direction of your physician or medical care provider. Complete THIS FORM so that I may contact your child's health care provider.
