Coaching Disclaimer
In the spirit of good practice, when you are purchasing coaching services from me I ask you to confirm that you have read and agreed to each statement below and that you wish to proceed.
All coaching services and communication, email or otherwise, delivered by myself, as well as information on this website (heatherrees.com,) are meant to help you identify the areas in your life and in your thinking that may be preventing you from experiencing greater well-being and moving forward. Coaching is not a substitute for professional mental health care or medical care. As I see it coaching is a conscious act of planning forward into one’s life, versus examining and healing emotional and psychological wounds or traumas.
The term ‘coaching’ as used here covers all types of coaching, including life coaching, personal coaching, executive coaching and business coaching for clients.
RESPONSIBILITY
*I will do everything possible to support you in achieving your own results and desired outcomes.
*You are responsible for the cause of all change in your life.
*I will work with you to identify solutions and offer suggestions, options and advise based on their own personal experience, training and the information appropriate.
*You accept full responsibility for all decisions and courses of action.
*You agree and acknowledge that I am not a licensed investment advisor, real estate agent, accountant, finance, health or legal professional.
CONFIDENTIALITY
I will not divulge that you are in a coaching relationship without your express consent. I also will keep the details of your life, situation and progress in confidence. You, of course are free to discuss the coaching relationship with anyone at anytime.
COMMITMENT
All contracts are binding. I do not offer refunds on coaching and support services. I am here to provide you and assist you to creating a healthy, happy, fulfilling life, and part of that is requiring a commitment from you that you are fully invested in the experience. When refunds are an option, it creates a “one foot in” the work, and “one foot out” the door dynamic. It is to your benefit to decide before purchasing your session(s) and committing to our work together that this is the right time, right practice and that I am the right person for you. If you’re 100% in, I am, too.
SCHEDULING & CANCELLATION
All sessions must be scheduled at least 24 hours in advance. Should you need to reschedule a coaching session, you may do so by providing a minimum 24 hours’ notice in advance of your session and making up the session within two weeks of the originally scheduled date. Sessions not cancelled 24 hours in advance will not be eligible for refund or make-ups. It is important that you prioritize this work to receive the full benefit of your coaching package. You are responsible for rescheduling via phone or contact (and receive reply) via email.
EMAIL ACCESS
I am available during the week via email to share progress, seek clarity, or review minor issues. There is no charge for any brief email exchanges.
Terms of Coaching
Sessions are created and sold as whole packages and cannot be altered or partially completed in any way. If you are enrolled in coaching for a number of sessions, unused sessions due to quitting the program may not be eligible for refund, credit or transfer.
Intellectual Property
All material relating to the Program is subject to copyright and other intellectual property rights. All materials may not be recorded, used or reproduced without the written permission of the owner.
Indemnification
You understand that all action taken is performed voluntarily and is your own responsibility. Clients should seek independent professional advice before undertaking any physical, business or investment actions.
