The coach promises the client that all information provided to the coach will be kept strictly confidential.

Coaching Relationship

Throughout the working relationship, the coach will engage in direct and personal conversations. The client can count on the coach to be honest and straightforward in asking questions and making requests. The client understands that the power of the coaching relationship can be granted only by the client, and the client agrees to do just that: have the coaching relationship be powerful. If the client believes the coaching is not working as desired, the client will communicate that belief and take action to return the power to the coaching relationship.

Declaration

I understand that I am working with Julie O'Hara for professional FODMAP Diet coaching at the agreed fee. Professional coaching is distinctly different from medical consultation, medical treatment, counseling, psychotherapy or psychoanalysis and does not deal with the diagnosis or treatment of medical or emotional problems. Since professional coaching does not constitute medical consultation or treatment, health insurance does not apply.

The Client understands that the Coach is not acting in the capacity of a doctor, licensed dietitian-nutritionist, psychologist or other licensed or registered professional, and that any advice given by the Coach is not meant to take the place of advice by these professionals.
