General Information

The coaching relationship is unique in that it is a highly personal and at the same time, a contractual agreement. Given this, it is important for us to reach a clear understanding about how our relationship will work, and what each of us can expect.

The Coaching Process

You have taken a very positive step by deciding to seek Holistic Nutrition Coaching. The outcome of your treatment depends largely on your willingness to engage in this process, which may, at times, result in considerable discomfort - both physical and mental. Remembering unpleasant events and becoming aware of feelings attached to those events can bring on strong feelings of anger, frustration, anxiety, etc. There are no miracle cures. I cannot promise that your behaviour or circumstance will change. I can promise to support you and do my very best to understand you and repeating patterns, as well as to help you clarify what it is that you want for yourself.

Confidentiality

The session content and all relevant materials to the client’s treatment will be held confidential unless the client requests in writing to have all or portions of such content released to a specifically named person/persons.

Occasionally I may need to consult with other professionals in their areas of expertise in order to provide the best treatment for you. Information about you may be shared in this context without using your name.

If we see each other accidentally outside of our sessions, I will not acknowledge you first. Your right to privacy and confidentiality is of the utmost importance to me, and I do not wish to jeopardize your privacy. However, if you acknowledge me first, I will be more than happy to speak briefly with you, but feel it appropriate not to engage in any lengthy discussions in public or outside of our sessions.
