Program Agreement

It is my pleasure to welcome you to this 6-month program. In this program you will learn ways to help yourself achieve a healthier lifestyle. Please read the following and feel free to ask any questions via email or phone number.

      The program in which you are enrolling for includes the following:

  • Program options of a session each week/every 2 weeks/once a month.
  • There will be discussions of your progress, recommendations, and a full set of my written notes based on that session
  • A variety of handouts, recipes, and suggested readings

       Scheduling

I understand that my clients have busy schedules and I take pride in not keeping them waiting or any longer than planned. Each session will be one hour long. Please be on time. If the client needs to cancel or reschedule the appointment, it must be done 24 hours in advance.

  •   If the client doesn’t show up for 2 sessions in general without cancelation or a reschedule, I will no longer work with that client  
  •  I enjoy working with clients who are committed to the program

If you believe that a meeting could be to our mutual benefit outside of the program schedule (not the personally scheduled dates), feel free to contact me via email or phone number. 

      Payments and Refunds

  • Cost of the Program is $300 per session. Full payment before sessions is required in cash/credit/or check
  •  Under no circumstances will the Counselor refund any payments.

      Personal Responsibility and Release of Health care related claims

  • The client takes full responsibility for their life and well-being, as well as those of their family and children, and all decisions made during and after the program.
  • The client has chosen to work with the counselor and understands that the information received should not be seen as medical or nursing advice and is certainly not meant to take the place of seeing licensed health professionals.
  • Confidentiality is key with me. Whatever is discussed in our sessions remains between us.
  • You have a responsibility in achieving your goal, whether or not you take the recommended actions is up to you

Please keep in mind that the Client expressly assumes the risks of the Program, whether or not such risks were created or exacerbated by the Counselor. The Client releases the Counselor, his/her heirs, executors, administrators and assigns, its officers, directors, shareholders, employees, teachers, lecturers, agents, health counselors and staff (collectively, the Releasees) from any and all liability, damages, causes of action, allegations, suits, sums of money, claims and demands whatsoever, in law, admiralty or equity, which against the Releasees, the Client ever had, now has, or will have in the future against the Releasees, arising from the Client’s past or future participation in, or otherwise with respect to, the Program, unless arising from the gross negligence of the Releasees.
