Client Responsibilities and Declaration:

I understand and agree to the content of the coach’s declaration and that I can seek clarification of any point at any time.

I understand that I am fully responsible for my physical, mental and emotional well-being during this coaching engagement, including my choices, decisions and the results I obtain.

I understand that coaching is a coaching professional to client relationship designed to facilitate the creation of personal or professional goals, and the development of a plan to achieve the goals.

I understand that I commit to communicating honestly and will fully engage in the coaching process.

I agree to use coaching for this purpose and not as a substitute for mentoring, training, counselling or any type of mental health care or substance abuse treatment, nor for professional advice by legal, financial, business, spiritual or other professionals.

I promise that if I am currently in therapy or under the care of a mental health professional, that I have consulted with the mental health care provider regarding the advisability of working with a coach and that this person is aware of my decision to proceed with the coaching relationship.

I commit to attending scheduled monthly sessions on time and in full, to completing agreed actions between sessions, and allocate sufficient time to work towards my goals. I will maintain notes of actions I have committed to.

I agree to give my coach 48 hours’ notice via the website scheduler, by email or text message to cancel or postpone a session and acknowledge that giving less notice, for any reason, may forfeit my place on the funded ChangeMakeHer Blossom Life program. If a session is scheduled for a Monday, I understand such notice is required on Thursday evening.

I understand that monthly sessions will be via a video calling session and will be of 1 to 1.5 -hour duration. 

Coaching sessions are free, due to generosity of other parties who have provided funding. I agree to respect the generosity of those who have provided funds for me to partake in the Blossom Life Coaching. I understand that an annual funded coaching program, which is free to me, comes at a cost of approximately $7,500 per person per year.
