This Agreement is entered into by and between: Colleen Robinson, Semper Wellness LLC. (National Board Certified for Health and Wellness Coaching, NBC-HWC, ID A-3252307) and XXXX XXXXX (Client) whereby Coach Colleen agrees to provide Coaching Services for Client focusing on her personal health and wellness goals.

Description of Coaching: Coaching is a partnership (defined as an alliance, not a legal business partnership) between the Coach and the Client in a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires the client to maximize personal and professional potential. It is designed to facilitate the creation/development of personal, professional or business goals and to develop and carry out a strategy/plan for achieving those goals.

Coach-Client Relationship

Coach agrees to maintain the ethics and standards of behavior established by the International Coach Federation (ICF) (Coachfederation.org/ethics). It is recommended that the Client review the ICF Code of Ethics and the applicable standards of behavior.

Client is solely responsible for creating and implementing her own physical, mental and emotional well-being, decisions, choices, actions, and results arising out of or resulting from the coaching relationship along with her sessions and interaction with the Coach. As such, the Client agrees that the Coach is not and will not be liable or responsible for any actions or inaction, or for any direct or indirect result of any services provided by the Coach. The Client understands coaching is not therapy and does not prevent, cure, or treat any mental disorder or medical disease.

Client further acknowledges that she may terminate or discontinue the coaching relationship at any time with a cancellation fee (fees vary depending on how many sessions are remaining).

Client acknowledges that coaching is a comprehensive process that many involve different areas of her life, including work/life balance, finances, health, relationships, education, and recreation. The Client agrees that deciding how to handle these issues, incorporate coaching principles into those areas and implementing choices is exclusively the Client’s responsibility.

Client acknowledges that coaching does not involve the diagnosis or treatment of mental disorders as defined by the American Psychiatric Association and that coaching is not to be used as a substitute for counseling, psychotherapy, psychoanalysis, mental health care, substance abuse treatment, or other professional advice by legal, medical or other qualified professionals and that it is the Client’s exclusive responsibility to seek such independent professional guidance as needed. If the Client is currently under the care of a mental health professional, it is recommended that the Client promptly inform the mental health care provider of the nature and extent of the coaching relationship agreed upon by the Client and the Coach.

The Client understands that in order to enhance the coaching relationship, the Client agrees to communicate honestly, be open to feedback and assistance and to create the time and energy to participate fully in the program.
