2. Nature of Services
I provide Integrative Health Coaching services designed to support clients in achieving their wellness, behavioral change, diet, and lifestyle goals.
2.1 No Medical Advice (Disclaimer) Crucial Notice: I am a certified Health Coach, not a medical doctor, psychotherapist, registered dietitian, or licensed nutritionist. The content on this website and the coaching services provided are for educational and informational purposes only.
- No Diagnosis: I do not diagnose, treat, or cure any disease, condition, or psychological disorder.
- Consult Your Doctor: My services do not replace professional medical advice. You agree to consult your primary healthcare provider before making any significant changes to your diet, medication, or lifestyle.
- Medication: You explicitly agree not to discontinue or change any medication dosages without consulting your prescribing physician.
3. The Discovery Session
I offer a complimentary "Discovery Session" (or "Discovery Call") to prospective clients.
- Nature: This session is a free, no-obligation conversation to determine if we are a good fit for working together.
- Binding Effect: Booking a Discovery Session does not constitute a binding contract for a long-term coaching program. A binding commitment for a coaching program only occurs once you have signed the separate Health Coaching Program Agreement.
- Cancellation: If you are unable to attend your scheduled Discovery Session, please provide at least 24 hours' notice so the time can be offered to others.
4. Booking, Cancellations & Lateness (Paid Sessions)
For clients who enter into a paid coaching relationship, the following policies apply (as detailed further in your specific Program Agreement):
4.1 Cancellation Policy Time is reserved specifically for you. Therefore, you must provide a minimum of 24 hours' notice to cancel or reschedule any booked session.
- Late Cancellations: Sessions canceled or rescheduled with less than 24 hours' notice will be forfeited and charged in full.
- No-Shows: If you fail to appear for a scheduled session without notice, the session is forfeited.
4.2 Lateness If you are late for a session, the session will still end at the scheduled time to respect the schedule of other clients. No refund or time extension will be granted for time lost due to lateness.
5. Fees and Payment Terms
5.1 Program Fees Specific pricing for coaching programs is not listed on this website. Fees, payment plans, and program details are discussed during the Discovery Session and are confirmed in writing in the Health Coaching Program Agreement sent to you prior to enrollment.
5.2 Payment Unless otherwise agreed in writing, payments must be made via the method specified in your invoice (e.g., Stripe) and are due as per the schedule outlined in your Program Agreement.
5.3 Refunds Refund policies, including my "Safe Fit" guarantee, are governed exclusively by the signed Health Coaching Program Agreement. Generally, refunds are not provided for services already rendered or for cancellations made outside of the agreed terms.
