Dear Participant, 

Over the next 6 weeks, you will learn ways to help yourself achieve a healthier diet and lifestyle as you participate in The Prediabetes Roadmap™ Coaching Intensive (the SERVICE). Please read the following and ask questions if needed.

I understand that I should always discuss any fitness regime, dietary changes or supplements with my doctor or medical provider.

I acknowledge that I take full responsibility for my life and well-being, and all decisions made during and after this program. 

I understand that as a part of wellness coaching, I may be coached to or it may be suggested that I participate in fitness activities e.g., exercise, aerobic training, strength training, flexibility training, balance training etc., that could be potentially hazardous. I understand that such activities involve risks of injury and even death, and that I am voluntarily participating in these activities and using equipment and machinery with knowledge of the dangers involved. I agree to expressly assume and accept any and all risks of injury or death. I further understand that there may be risks involved in making dietary changes, such as an increased risk for gallstones, and, for persons with blood sugar issues, fluctuations in blood sugar levels. I acknowledge the risks associated with exercise and physical activity and dietary changes, and willingly assert my desire to participate as herein indicated.

I further acknowledge that I have had either had a physical examination and been given a physician`s permission to participate or that I have decided to participate in activity and or use of equipment and machinery without a physician’s approval and do hereby assume all responsibility and risks of injury or death from such participation and activities.

I understand that the purpose of The Prediabetes Roadmap™ Coaching Intensive is to help me make positive and lasting changes that increase my health and wellbeing. While nutrition and lifestyle support can be an important complement to medical care provided elsewhere, I understand nutrition and lifestyle coaching is not a substitute for the diagnosis, treatment, or care of disease by a medical provider. I do hereby waive, release, and forever discharge The COMPANY and its officers, agents, independent contractors, employees, representatives, executors, and all others from any and all responsibility or liability for injuries or damages resulting from my participation in any activities of wellness coaching, my use of fitness equipment arising out of my participation in any activities under such coaching, or otherwise with respect to the SERVICE. 

SCHEDULING / CANCELLATIONS / ARRIVING LATE

I understand that my clients have busy schedules and I take pride in respecting that. Each session will end 60 minutes after it was scheduled to begin. Please be on time. If the Client needs to cancel or reschedule the appointment, the Client must do so 24 hours in advance; otherwise, the Client will forfeit that appointment and will not have an opportunity to reschedule it.

As the Client, I recognize that my coaching package expires after 2 months. Two months after my first coaching session, any coaching sessions I have not yet completed are forfeit. This is to ensure that I maximize focus and momentum so I can best prepare myself for lifestyle changes.

PAYMENTS AND REFUNDS

The Client understands that the cost of The Prediabetes Roadmap™Coaching Intensive  (the SERVICE) is $597. Payment of $597 is due prior to the first coaching appointment. 

There are ABSOLUTELY NO REFUNDS of any amount provided. If CLIENT decides to cancel, not participate, or changes his or her mind, the COMPANY DOES NOT PROVIDE ANY REFUND FOR ANY REASON TO THE CLIENT.

The COMPANY reserves the right to cancel the program if at any point the COMPANY feels it is not advantageous for the coaching program to continue. If this happens, the Client is responsible for the pro-rata share of coaching services received with each 60 minute session assigned 1/6 of the full program cost.

NATURE OF THE RELATIONSHIP

The International Consortium for Health & Wellness Coaching defines Health & Wellness Coaching in the following manner: Health and Wellness Coaches partner with clients seeking self-directed, lasting changes, aligned with their values, which promote health and wellness and, thereby, enhance well-being. In the course of their work health and wellness coaches display unconditional positive regard for their clients and a belief in their capacity for change, and honoring that each client is an expert on his or her life, while ensuring that all interactions are respectful and non-judgmental.

My responsibility as health & wellness coach is to guide, educate, and cheer you on in your experience of discovering your best health. Within my scope of practice, I will help you leverage your strengths and values, foster self-acceptance and self-confidence, and assist you with challenges, setbacks, baby steps, and discoveries on your journey to better health. Your responsibilities as a client include bringing awareness and openness to new experiences, choices and habits; taking control of your own physical, mental and emotional well-being, as well as decisions, choices and actions; realizing positive change takes time and dedication to become a habit; and most importantly, understanding that honesty and open communication is an absolute necessity for our coaching relationship to flourish.

As The Client, I am aware that the coaching relationship is in no way to be construed as psychological counseling or psychotherapy and that, in the event that I feel the need for professional counseling or therapy, it is my responsibility to seek a licensed professional.

As The Client, I understand that coaching results are not guaranteed. I am entering into coaching with the understanding that I am responsible for creating my own results.

EXPECTATIONS

The key to an effective coaching relationship is communication. Please be honest with yourself and me throughout the coaching process. You can expect me to be straightforward, constructive and confidential. You can say anything to me, positive or negative; this includes letting me know if something makes you uncomfortable or if you don't want to respond to a question. Please let me know at any time if you have concerns that we haven’t addressed. I am a resource for you to use to your best advantage. I will share concepts or insights, and ask questions that are intended to increase your success in attaining your health goals.
