Terms of Service and Disclaimer
The purpose of health and wellness coaching performed by the health and wellness nurse coach is to assist and support the process of individual transformation and growth. Health and wellness nurse coaches believe in whole person health, meaning that we assess and coach clients in any area of your life that affects your overall well-being. The topic or area of coaching is chosen by the client and supported by the nurse coach. The board-certified nurse coach will work with each client to create a supportive nurse-client relationship. The nurse coach assists with goal setting and provides ongoing support to the individuals and groups with whom she works. The work of the nurse coach is based on the core values and competencies as delineated by the American Holistic Nurses Association and the American Nurses Association. The relationship is one of coaching rather than advising or counseling and is in no way meant to be a replacement for mental health services.
As a health and wellness nurse coach who conducts health and wellness coaching, I am in no way liable for your health and safety. I do not perform clinical tasks or administer medications. I do not make medical decisions. I do not provide mental health counseling or psychotherapy. I may collaborate with your health care provider only after receiving written and verbal permission by you the client. I do not speak to family members, friends or caregivers on your behalf unless I have received written and verbal permission from you the client.
If at any time I feel that your physical or mental health are in immediate danger, I will contact the appropriate referral source as required by law. In performing a holistic assessment, I will inquire about your health status, current lifestyle practices and seek general information that stands to impact your ability to make lifestyle changes. This information will be considered strictly confidential and private and will be shared only as required by law and my nursing license.
I am a licensed registered nurse in the state of Rhode Island and Massachusetts. As your health and wellness coach, I will be practicing as such under my nursing licenses and my nationally recognized board certification as an integrative nurse coach credentialed by the American Holistic Nurse Credentialing Corporation. When teaching Mindfulness Meditation for Everyday Life, I will be practicing under that teacher certification and not as a registered nurse. However, privacy and safety policies still apply.
Should you need to cancel an appointment, I require 24 hours’ notice unless there has been an emergency or situation out of your control. The be willing to be well coaching path is an initial 3 month commitment. Clients may choose to continue or discontinue coaching at any time after the initial 3 months.
In entering into the coaching agreement, you agree that you do so of your own free will. You accept that the ultimate responsibility for your health care is your own and that the integrative nurse coach is here to support you. You understand that the integrative nurse coach reserves the right to determine which situations are not within her scope of expertise and agree that referrals will be made as needed.
