BACKGROUND/CREDENTIALS/TRAININGS

Jill Vyn Coaching

Masters of Social Work

Certified Master Adult Chair® Coach

1. I understand that coaching is a comprehensive process that may involve all areas of my life. I acknowledge that deciding how to handle these issues, incorporating coaching into those areas, and implementing my choices is solely my responsibility.

2. I understand and agree that I am fully responsible for my physical, mental and emotional well being during my coaching sessions, including my choices and decisions including any injuries resulting from recommendations by Jill Vyn Coaching.

3. I am aware that I can choose to discontinue coaching at any time, as can Jill Vyn/Jill Vyn Coaching, at their discretion. In order to protect my privacy, six months after I terminate my coaching work with Jill Vyn/Jill Vyn Coaching, my coach's notes on me and my assignments may be deleted from their files.

4. I understand that if we engage in any coaching over the Internet, I consent to having sensitive information transmitted via email or video software, and acknowledge the risks involved, and waive any rights against Jill Vyn/Jill Vyn Coaching for damages arising from any mistakes or errors made in connection with any such transmission.

5. I understand that coaching does not involve the diagnosis or treatment of physical disorders or mental disorders as defined by the American Psychiatric Association. I understand that coaching is not a substitute for counseling, psychotherapy, psychoanalysis, physical or mental health care, or substance abuse treatment and I will not use it in place of any form of diagnosis, treatment or therapy. I understand coaching may not be appropriate for all people. By signing up for coaching, I acknowledge the possibility that Jill Vyn/Jill Vyn Coaching may ask me to discontinue coaching or leave a workshop or other program if they determine it is not appropriate for me. I further acknowledge it is my responsibility to remove myself from coaching if at any point I have concerns about my mental health.

6. I understand that coaching is not to be used as a substitute for professional advice by legal, medical, financial, business or other qualified professionals.

FEES/PAYMENT POLICY

Fees for services are variable depending on service type. When needing to cancel, a 24-hour notice is required or half of the session fee is due. If a “no-show”, meaning the session time has arrived and no cancellation request has been received, the full session fee that was agreed upon will be due and charged to the card on file. When booking the appointment, a valid credit card must be entered.

CONFIDENTIALITY

Your session is always held in confidence. This means that, as a general rule, information shared in sessions with a coach will be held in confidence. There are two exceptions to this general rule. In the case of an emergency where I believe a client is at risk of hurting him/herself or another person, there may be a breach in confidentiality.

EMERGENCY

If at any time you are in crisis and unable to reach me in an emergency, please call 911 or contact your local Crisis Help Line (in Michigan, text 988 or call 800-273-8255), or go to your local emergency room.

RELEASE AND WAIVER OF LIABILITY AND INDEMNITY AGREEMENT

In consideration of being permitted to participate in Life Coaching offered by Jill Vyn/Jill Vyn Coaching.

There are social and emotional risks in participating in the above mentioned activity. I fully understand and acknowledge that there may be risks not known to us or are not reasonably foreseeable to us at this time.

I accept and assume such risks and responsibilities for the losses and/or damages following such psychological or physical injury, disability, paralysis or death, however caused and whether caused in whole or in part by the negligence of the Release(s) named below.

The UNDERSIGNED further expressly agrees that the foregoing release, waiver and indemnity agreement is intended to be as broad and inclusive as permitted by the law of the Province or State in which the coach is conducting events and that if any portion is held invalid, it is agreed that the balance shall, notwithstanding, continue in full legal force and effect.

If, despite signing this release, the undersigned participant makes a claim against any of the Releases, the undersigned participant will reimburse the Release(s) for any money which they have paid to the participant, or on his/her behalf, and hold them harmless.

I HAVE READ THIS RELEASE AND WAIVER OF LIABILITY, ASSUMPTION OF RISK AND INDEMNITY AGREEMENT, FULLY UNDERSTAND ITS TERMS, UNDERSTAND THAT I HAVE GIVEN UP SUBSTANTIAL RIGHTS BY SIGNING IT, AND HAVE SIGNED IT FREELY AND VOLUNTARILY WITHOUT INDUCEMENT, ASSURANCE OR GUARANTEE BEING MADE TO ME AND INTEND MY SIGNATURE TO BE COMPLETE AND UNCONDITIONAL RELEASE OF ALL LIABILITY, INCLUDING ANY NEGLIGENCE OF THE COACH NAMED BELOW TO THE GREATEST EXTENT ALLOWED BY LAW.
