It is designed to facilitate the creation and/or development of personal, spiritual and/or any other goals desired by the client and to develop and carry out a strategy or action plan for achieving those goals.

The Client is solely responsible for creating and implementing his or her own physical/mental/emotional well-being decisions and choices. Additionally, the Client is solely responsible for any actions and/or results that may arise out of the coaching or consulting relationship including any online programs, readings, coaching calls, consulting sessions, and/or other interactions with the Service Provider. As such, the Client agrees that the Service Provider is not and will not be liable or responsible for any action or inaction taken by the Client nor for any direct or indirect results of the services provided by the Service Provider.
The Client understands coaching is not therapy and does not substitute for therapy or other medical/counseling treatments, if needed, and does not prevent, cure, or treat any mental/emotional disorder or medical disease. The Client understands that leadership consulting is not legal, financial, or therapeutic advice and does not substitute for the guidance of licensed professionals in those fields.
The Client acknowledges that he or she reserves the right to terminate or discontinue the coaching or consulting relationship at any time.
The Client acknowledges that coaching is a comprehensive process that may involve different areas of his or her life, including health and wellness, business, personal and/or spiritual relationships, education, career, recreation, etc. The Client acknowledges that consulting may involve organizational dynamics, team relationships, leadership practices, and business culture. The Client agrees that he or she is solely responsible for ultimately deciding how to handle any related issues, whether to incorporate any coaching or consulting principles, and the implementation of any action-steps, based on their own choices.
The Client acknowledges that coaching does not involve the diagnosis or treatment of mental/emotional disorders as defined by the American Psychiatric Association (APA) and that coaching is not to be used as a substitute for counseling, psychotherapy, psychoanalysis, mental health care, substance abuse treatment, or any other professional advice sought or given by any legal, medical, or other licensed professionals. It is solely the Client's responsibility to seek such independent professional guidance, as needed, outside of the discussed Service Provider-Client relationship.
