CLIENT AGREEMENT FOR INDIVIDUAL SESSIONS & GROUPS
This agreement is intended to set the framework for our work together. When booking an individual session or group, it is understood that you consent to the terms set forth in this document.
INTENTION
It is my intention to partner with you to create a nurturing space of light curiosity and compassionate empowerment, for you to feel accompanied with your individual process.
My focus in Somatic Coaching, Havening Techniques® and Human Design is to support the innate inner compass of your holistic self. I see you as creative, resourceful and whole.
In yoga, mindfulness or somatic groups it is important that you check in with you own resources on a given day and find a pace that is right for you.
WHAT TO EXPECT – INDIVIDUAL SESSIONS
Somatic Awareness does take practice and time to integrate. At the same time, insights happen the moment we bring attention to ourselves and our needs. It’s best to approach this process trusting that whatever comes up, does so at this time because it’s ripe for you.
I often get asked how many sessions and with what frequency I recommend. Every person and life situation is unique. Different rhythms may work at various times for you. We can change the agreement of the frequency as needed.
In my own experience, somatic connection is a practice and receiving support is an ongoing need, much like physical exercise and creative expression. Though there are times when more or less support is needed. Sometimes individual sessions and other times group sessions might be the right fit. Therefore, it’s advisable that you to sense what is right for you.
OUR RELATIONSHIP
My methods are influenced by Somatic Practices, East-West Psychology, Neuroscience, Havening Techniques®, Trauma Studies, Shamanic Practice, Human Design, Yoga and Mindfulness. By entering into this relationship, you understand that our sessions do not have the intention to diagnose or cure any disorder, condition, or medical illness.
I agree to maintain the ethics and standards of behaviour established by the International Coaching Federation “(ICF)”. www.coachingfederation.org/ethics.
I tend towards a client-centred focus, following your process I will share reflections, offer inquiry and suggest somatic practices. I will also offer resources, and mind-body education when I think it might be of help. I have trust in your innate inner knowing that will unfold.
As a client, you acknowledge that Somatic Coaching is a comprehensive process that may involve different areas of your life, including work, finances, health, relationships, education and recreation, and you agree that deciding how to handle these issues is your responsibility.
As a client, you understand that in order to enhance the coaching relationship, you will need to communicate honestly, be open to feedback and assistance, and create the time and energy to participate fully. You decide what you would like to share with me within your scope of comfort. We are able to work content free with Havening Techniques® if that will support you best. This would mean that you do not need to share about the traumatic experience, though you would need to connect with how you feel and what you sense, and be wiling to share that with me.
While Havening Techniques® is a wellness and stress management tool it is considered an alternative or complementary modality. I am offering my services as a practitioner, not a licensed psychotherapist. My services as a Havening practitioner are not intended to be psychological treatment. You are advised to seek professional advice as appropriate before making any mental health decision. It is impossible to guarantee any specific results regarding your goals using Havening. It may vary how you personally respond to Havening, also from session to session. By participating in a Havening session or doing Self-Havening, you accept full responsibility for any emotional, mental, or physical responses you may have. I will be here to support you and will refer you to a psychotherapist if necessary.
Human Design is a self awareness method. I am offering my services as an analyst. From the information shared you will be empowered to observe yourself to garner your own self-knowledge. It is important that you reflect and experiment with what you learn. It is up to you to identify what is truly resonant. I will share with you what I observe from your Bodygraph to the best of my knowledge at the time. You are ultimately the expert on yourself.
As a client, you are responsible for your physical, mental and emotional well-being, decisions, choices, actions and results arising from our relationship. As such, you agree that I am not liable or responsible for any actions or inaction, or for any direct or indirect result of any services provided.
As a client participating in a group, you recognise that you must listen to you body’s awareness when practicing yoga, somatics or mindfulness and stay within the limits of what feels right for you. I will give instructions and make suggestions, however everything I offer is invitational. It is up to you to navigate what is best for you. I am always open to supporting you to find alternative exercises or you are welcome to rest if that is right for you.
In group settings, as a client you will only share what you feel comfortable with the group and you will keep what is shared within the group private out of respect for the other members. You will support creating a nurturing space for everyone within the group.
