Terms of Engagement & Client Responsibilities
Good nutrition, exercise, and lifestyle changes support your body’s natural defences and wellbeing. However, no claim can be made about the efficacy of any advice given during health coaching sessions.
Coaching input is tailored to support concerns and goals we agree on together.
Health coaching is not a substitute for professional medical advice or treatment, and I do not diagnose or treat medical conditions.
You are responsible for contacting your doctor or health professional about any health concerns you may have.
It is your choice whether to inform your healthcare provider about your health coaching programme.
Please inform me of any medical diagnoses, prescribed medications, supplements, or treatments you are undertaking, as these may affect your coaching plan.
Always consult your doctor or healthcare provider before making changes to your diet, exercise routine, medications, or other aspects of your health management, especially if you have an existing medical condition.
If you are unclear about any aspect of your coaching plan, please ask for clarification at any time.
Coaching programmes have a defined timeframe. Ongoing support outside agreed sessions is not guaranteed unless arranged separately.
Share any concerns about your programme with me promptly so I can support you effectively.
