Coaching Terms and Conditions

This Client Agreement is entered into between Claudine Foudray Coaching, a Sole Proprietorship in the state of Utah (“Company”), and the client (“Client”).   This Client Agreement outlines the relationship between Company and Client and defines how the parties will work together. 

For good and valuable consideration, Client agrees to purchase a coaching services package, (“Coaching Package”) from Company.  In exchange, Company agrees to provide coaching services for Client, using appropriate techniques in accordance with Client’s needs and in alignment with Company’s role as a life coach, with details as outlined below.

SESSIONS

One session consists of a 50-minute call during which I will be available to you for the full duration. The session may go longer, at my sole discretion, but it is not guaranteed.  Please give our coaching calls your full attention, finding a place where you can talk freely and without distraction. This will maximize what you take away from the program.

Email coaching is available during your participation in my program. If you have a question or something on your mind that you want help with in between our coaching sessions, email me and I will respond within 48 hours. You can email me as often as you need. This is a form of coaching that many people find helpful.

SCHEDULING AND CANCELLATION POLICY

Please use the scheduling link sent in the email you received after completing your purchase.  I recommend that you book all sessions as soon as possible. If the hours that I have offered are not convenient, please contact me and we can discuss possible alternate times.

I have a 24-hour cancellation policy. If you want to reschedule a session, that is fine! Please give make changes at least 24 hours prior to the session. If less notice is given, you will not be able to reschedule unless you have an unexpected emergency such as a sudden illness, car accident, etc.

If you are late, our session will still end at the scheduled time.

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.  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.

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.
