Coaching Disclaimer
Last updated: October 2026
I want you to feel informed and confident before we work together. Please take a moment to read how coaching works and what it can and can’t offer.
Coaching is not therapy or medical care
I am a professionally trained coach. According to the ICF – the International Coach Federation, the largest organization in the world for certification of coach training programmes and for independent certification of professional coaches, coaching is:
‘Partnering with clients in a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires then to maximize their personal and professional potential.’
I am not a licensed therapist, psychologist, doctor or other healthcare professional. Coaching does not diagnose, treat or cure any physical or mental health condition, and it is not a substitute for medical, psychological, legal or financial advice.
If you are receiving care from a doctor, therapist or other professional, please continue to do so. If you have a health concern, please check with your doctor before starting any new practice, including breathing or relaxation techniques.
About HeartMath® and other approaches
The HeartMath® techniques I teach are tools for wellbeing and emotional resilience, not medical treatment. The same is true of the other approaches I draw on, including Positive Intelligence®, Ho’oponopono® and Graphotherapy and other modalities.
I am an independent coach. References to HeartMath®, Positive Intelligence® and other modalities describe training and skills I have acquired and practiced. They don’t mean that these organizations endorse my services, and the views on this website are my own.
Your choices are yours
Coaching is a partnership. I’ll support, guide and encourage you, but you remain responsible for your own decisions, actions and results, both during our work together and afterwards.
Results vary
Every person’s experience is different, and your results depend on many things, including your own effort and circumstances. For this reason, I can’t guarantee any particular outcome.
Testimonials and stories
The testimonials on this website are shared with permission and reflect the real experiences of individual clients. The stories and research about HeartMath® are summarized from the public sources named on the page, and they are not my own clients’ results. None of these are a promise that you will have the same experience.
Information on this website
The content on this website, including information about research and the experiences of others, is shared for general education and inspiration. I take care to keep it accurate and to name my sources, but information can change over time. Links to other websites are provided for convenience, and I’m not responsible for their content.
If you are in crisis
Coaching, including WhatsApp support between sessions, is not a crisis or emergency service. If you are in distress or your safety is at risk, please contact your local emergency services or a crisis helpline straight away.
Online sessions
Most sessions take place online. Some sessions are also conducted offline. Occasionally, technical problems such as a poor internet connection may interrupt a session. If that happens, we’ll reconnect or reschedule according to mutual availability.
Content and materials
The content on this website and the materials I share in sessions are for your personal use. Please don’t copy, share, or sell them without my permission.
Limitation of liability
By using this website and my services, you agree that I am not liable for any loss or harm resulting from your use of the information or tools shared, to the extent permitted by law.
Changes to this disclaimer
I may update this disclaimer from time to time. The latest version will always be on this page, with the date it was last updated.
Questions
If you have any questions about this disclaimer or how coaching works, please email me at [email protected]. I’m always happy to talk them through.
