Should I sense that professional counseling services may be helpful to you, I will refer you to seek professional counseling as I will not be operating at any time as a therapist, counselor, or mental health practitioner in my role as a Certified Health Coach, Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapist and Reiki Practitioner.
Not Holding Self Out. In this capacity as a Certified Health Coach, Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapist and Reiki Practitioner, we are not holding ourselves out to be medical health practitioners including doctors, nurses, physician assistants, massage therapists, mental health providers including psychiatrists, psychologists, therapists, counselors, social workers, or spiritual counselors. We are not providing health care, medical or nutrition therapy services or attempting to diagnose, prevent, treat or cure in any manner whatsoever any physical ailment, or any mental or emotional issue, disease or condition. Rather, we serve as coaches, educators, mentors and guides who help you reach your own health and wellness goals through implementing incremental, positive, healthy, sustainable lifestyle changes.
Consult Your Physician or Health Care Provider. Our intent is NOT to replace any relationship that exists, or should exist, between you and your doctor, nurse practitioner, physician assistant, therapist, counselor, or other physical or mental health care professional or spiritual counselor. Always seek the advice of your physician, nurse practitioner, physician assistant, mental health professional, or another health care professional regarding any questions or concerns you have about your specific health situation, including but not limited to physical or mental health issues, possible or actual pregnancy, known or suspected food sensitivities or allergies, inflammatory conditions, dietary restrictions, or any medications you are currently taking. We advise you to speak with your own physician, nurse practitioner, physician assistant, and/or your own mental health professional before implementing any suggestions from our website, blog, e-mails, videos, social media, programs, services and/or products about lifestyle, food, vitamins or supplements; essential oils; engaging in an elimination diet, detox or cleanse; meditation or deep breathing exercises; or participating in any other aspect of a healthy eating and lifestyle program. Do not disregard professional medical advice or delay seeking professional advice because of information you have read on this website or received from us. Do not stop taking any medications without speaking to your physician, nurse practitioner, physician assistant, mental health provider or other health care professional. If you have or suspect that you have a medical or mental health issue, contact your own health care provider promptly.
Your Full Disclosure to Us. You agree to fully disclose to us in writing any specific health situation, physical or mental health issues, possible or actual pregnancy, known or suspected food sensitivities or allergies, inflammatory conditions, dietary restrictions, any other allergies, or any medications, herbs or supplements you are currently taking prior to the start of any program, service or product provided by us or affiliated with us.
