Scope of Services

Health coaching services focus on wellness, lifestyle, and education through the lens of functional medicine. Coaching may include support with nutrition, stress management, sleep, exercise, digestion, hormone balance, and other areas related to general health.

Disclaimer: I am not acting as a licensed medical provider in this context. Consulting and coaching services are not intended to diagnose, treat, or cure any medical condition. Clients should consult with their licensed healthcare providers before making changes to their health routine.
 

• Contacting their Primary Care Provider (PCP)about any health concerns.

• If the client is receiving treatment from a PCP or any other medical provider, they should inform them of any nutritional strategy or new supplements. This is important to prevent potential medication interactions.  It is recommended that the client share any labs completed with Women's Functional Wellness with their PCP to ensure the best care and accurate diagnoses.
   
• The client must inform the health provider/coach of any medical diagnoses, medications, herbal remedies, or food supplements they are currently taking, as these may influence the recommended nutritional plan.
   
• If the client is unclear about any aspect of the agreed nutritional therapy program, including supplement dosages or duration, they are responsible for contacting the health provider/coach promptly for clarification.
   
• The client understands that all advice and recommendations are tailored specifically to them and may not be suitable for others.
   
• If the client wishes to continue any supplement program beyond the originally agreed-upon time frame, they must consult the health provider/coach beforehand to avoid potential adverse effects.
   
• Recording consultations via any form of electronic media is not permitted without prior written consent from both the client and the health provider/coach.
   

• Cancellations or rescheduling require 48 hours notice.
   
• Missed sessions or late cancellations may be forfeited or billed, at the coach’s discretion.

• Refunds: No refunds will be issued for sessions already completed. Refunds for unused sessions may be granted at the discretion of the provider and are subject to a 10% administrative fee.
   

All information shared during coaching sessions is kept confidential to the extent permitted by law. Information will not be disclosed to third parties without written consent unless required by law.

The client understands that coaching is not a substitute for licensed medical care. The client waives any claims against the coach for personal injury, illness, or damages arising from participation in the program.

The client agrees to hold the coach harmless for any outcomes resulting from coaching advice and acknowledges that all actions taken are their personal responsibility.
 

Either party may terminate this agreement with written notice. If the client chooses to end coaching before the program is complete, any unused sessions may be forfeited unless otherwise agreed.
