Coaching Agreement

Clear expectations for a successful coaching relationship.

Important Health Disclaimer

Health coaching is a partnership that supports you in making sustainable lifestyle changes. It is important to understand the following:

Not Medical Advice

Health coaching is NOT a substitute for medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. I am not a licensed medical professional, physician, psychologist, or registered dietitian.

Consult Your Healthcare Provider

Always consult with qualified healthcare professionals before making any changes to your diet, exercise routine, supplements, or health-related practices, especially if you have existing health conditions, are pregnant, nursing, or taking medications.

Individual Results May Vary

Results from coaching vary from person to person. What works for one individual may not work for another. I make no guarantees regarding specific health outcomes.

Your Responsibility

You are responsible for your own health decisions and actions. By participating in coaching, you acknowledge that you make your own choices and take responsibility for the results.

Emergency Situations

In case of medical emergency, contact emergency services immediately. Coaching does not provide crisis intervention or emergency support.
