Terms & Conditions
Why terms & conditions for Somatic Healing Arts Coaching?
Embodiment is brave and transformational work. Our intention is to communicate with clarity and integrity throughout the process. If you ("Client") embark on a coaching relationship with me ("Practitioner"), you will be asked to sign this before your sessions begin.
This Coaching agreement (the “Agreement” and “Waiver”) outlines our mutual expectations and the terms and conditions for participating as well as openly communicating the risks associated.
Please read thoroughly and sign underneath "Agreement" and "Waiver" by entering your name and clicking "I Agree."
Part 1: Agreement
By signing up for our 1:1 coaching, you agree to be bound by the following conditions:
1. Parties. This Agreement is made between Embody Soul LLC (“ES, “we”, “our”, and “us”) and you, the undersigned (electronically or by hand) or person who has clicked “I Agree” to this Agreement (“you” and “your”).
2. Payment. Payment is due upon booking your session(s). If you are paying per session, payment is due before each session.
2.1 Sliding scale $85-$185 per hour. You agree to self-select the rate that meets your income or if applicable, your household income level:
$85 - low income ($13,590 annual income)
$135 - middle income ($43,350 and $130,000 annual income)
$185 - upper income (above $130,000 annual income)
3. Cancellations / Refunds. If you need to cancel a session, please let the Practitioner know via email ASAP. With 48 hours+ notice, we can reschedule without any charge. Cancelling within 48 hours of your session and no-shows will not be refunded.
4. Payment Failure. In the event that you break your agreed upon payment plan, you will lose access to Coaching.
5. Responsibility. Somatic Healing Arts Coaching illuminates material that your body-heart-mind is seeking to heal, or integrate into your wholeness. This is not always comfortable in the short term and your inner protector - who believes that safety comes from familiarity - may show up as resistance to continuing our work together in the face of their transformation. You understand that by agreeing to work together for a given time-frame, you are committed to the process to the best of your ability, and are responsible for seeking additional support whenever needed.
6. Your Conduct. You are solely responsible for how you engage with the Practitioner and disrespect will not be tolerated. The Practitioner has the right to cancel a session or agreement at any time due to disrespectful behavior.
6.1. Respecting phone access. In the event that you receive the Practitioner's personal cell phone number for a scheduled call, this does not give you 24/7 access to text/call for emotional processing or questions. Please direct your questions to email. The Practitioner may direct you to book a paid coaching session in order to responsibly hold the depth of your process.
7. Confidentiality. Both parties agree to respect and maintain the privacy and confidentiality of anything shared during a Coaching session. This section shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
8. Zoom Access. If meeting virtually, you will be e-mailed your session's zoom link in advance. Please save it in your calendar and if you should need it again please let the Practitioner know ASAP.
Part 2: Waiver
9. Inherent Risks. You understand that participation in Coaching (“Coaching, “Activities”, “Exercises”) entails some risks and potential side effects, some more obvious/serious than others. These risks can result in serious harm and injuries that could change your quality of life, so we want you to be aware of them beforehand. Potential side effects or harm include but are not limited to things like:
9.1. Emotional, psychological and physiological changes, distress, disorientation related to changes in lifestyle, confronting difficult issues, personal challenges, and suppressed feelings or thoughts.
9.2. As is the case with any physical activity, the risk of injury, even serious or disabling, is always present and cannot be entirely eliminated. I understand that somatic movement, vocal toning, breathwork, dance etc. includes physical movements as well as an opportunity for nervous system recalibration, relaxation, stress reduction and relief of muscular tension. If I experience any pain or discomfort, I will listen to my body, discontinue the activity, and ask for support from the facilitator.
9.3. Additional risks that may be posed by your environment for the Activities that are provided remotely, as they take place outside of our facilities and without any personal supervision.
