Coaching Agreement, Terms & Conditions

Take the time to read this, please! You’ll get way more out of your coaching session and it’s important that we are on the same page when working together as Total Health by Elizabeth (Me, aka: Coach) and Client (you).

This Agreement is entered into by and between: Elizabeth Sherman, Total Health by Elizabeth, LLC, and (Client) whereby Coach agrees to provide Coaching Services for Client focusing on health as it pertains to the client’s results/outcomes/goals. Topics outside of client health (stress, sleep, eating, and movement) may come up as necessary discussion topics during our sessions.

1. DESCRIPTION OF COACHING

Coaching is 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. 

2. COACH – CLIENT RELATIONSHIP

A. 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. 

B. Client is solely responsible for creating and implementing his/her own physical, mental and emotional well-being, decisions, choices, actions and results arising out of or resulting from the coaching relationship and his/her coaching calls and interactions 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. Client understands coaching is not therapy and does not substitute for therapy if needed, and does not prevent, cure, or treat any mental disorder or medical disease. 

C. Client further acknowledges that he/she may terminate or discontinue the coaching relationship at any time. 

D. Client acknowledges that coaching is a comprehensive process that may involve different areas of his or her life, including work, 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. 

E. 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 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. 

F. 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. 

3. SERVICES

The parties agree to engage in a 6 month Coaching Program through coaching calls conducted via video meetings. Coach will be available to Client by text, e-mail and voicemail in between scheduled meetings as defined by the Coach. Coach may also be available for additional appointments, per Client’s request on a prorated basis rate of $100 per hour.

4. COACHING CALLS

Video calls with your Coach during your membership will be done through Zoom Video Conferencing. It is the Client’s responsibility to ensure that video, microphone, and all technology is working at the time of the call. Other arrangements must be made 24 hours in advance if the Client is unable to connect using Zoom.

The calls/meetings shall be 45 minutes in length. If rates change before this agreement has been signed and dated, the prevailing rates will apply. 

Scheduling

All Coaching Sessions are scheduled in advance by direct agreement between you and your Coach. If for any reason you cannot attend a scheduled Coaching Session you are fully responsible for informing your Coach, or rescheduling using the automated confirmation sent by the scheduling software otherwise the session will be deemed forfeit. You are responsible for rescheduling via scheduling application.

It is the client’s responsibility to verify that the details of the scheduled appointment are correct including date, time, and time zone.

Coach reserves the right to refuse rescheduling or bill Client for a missed meeting. Coach will attempt in good faith to reschedule the missed meeting.

Procedure

The time of the coaching meetings and/or location will be determined by Coach and Client based on a mutually agreed upon time. If the Coach will be at any other number for a scheduled call, Client will be notified prior to the scheduled appointment time.

Cancellation Policy

Client agrees that it is the Client’s responsibility to notify the Coach a minimum of 12 hours in advance of the scheduled calls/meetings.

Should you need to reschedule a coaching session, you may do so by providing 12 hours notice in advance of your session and making up the session within a week of the originally scheduled date.  Sessions not cancelled 12 hours in advance will not be eligible for make-ups.  It is important that you prioritize this work to receive the full benefit of your coaching package.

Tasking/Homework

Tasks or homework are assigned to assist in accelerating your change and the achievement of your desired results.

Free Extra Time

There is no extra charge for brief catch up calls, emails, or text correspondence between your Coaching Sessions, whether to discuss an issue or concern or share something great! Your Coach provides this free additional service to give your superior value and results.

Free Email Access

Your Coach is available during the week via email to share wins, seek clarity on actions or review minor issues. Again, there is no charge for any of the brief catch up emails or text communication.
