Effective date: January 1, 2024

 

Disclaimer: Coaching Services Are Not a Substitute for Professional Care
The coaching services provided by Christie Hertzler, Christie Hertzler Coaching or No Boss Network LLC are not a substitute for medical or psychological treatment. The coaching relationship is focused on personal growth and development, not the diagnosis or treatment of mental health conditions. I am not a licensed psychologist, psychiatrist, or healthcare provider, and my services are not intended to replace professional care for physical or psychological conditions.

Eligibility for Coaching Services
Coaching services, including Mind Shifting techniques, are not suitable for individuals who:

  • Have been diagnosed with a mental illness
  • Are currently taking medication for a diagnosed mental illness
  • Are experiencing or have a history of suicidal thoughts or tendencies

If you are experiencing any of the above, please seek the help of a licensed healthcare provider before engaging in coaching. My services are designed to support those who are emotionally stable and seeking to enhance their life, not to treat any form of mental illness or crisis.

Client Responsibility and Assumption of Risk
By participating in coaching, you acknowledge that you are fully responsible for your well-being during and after coaching sessions, including all decisions and actions. You understand that Mind Shifting and other coaching methods are intended for individuals who are emotionally and mentally healthy. You agree to hold Christie Hertzler, Christie Hertzler Coaching or No Boss Network LLC harmless from any liability if you decide to engage in coaching while experiencing a mental health condition.

No Guarantees or Promises
I do not guarantee any specific outcomes from the coaching services provided. The process of coaching is collaborative, and the results depend on your commitment and actions. I offer support, guidance, and tools to facilitate personal growth, but the success of the coaching relationship is dependent on your effort.

Confidentiality and Legal Limitations
Your personal information will be treated as confidential. However, confidentiality has certain limitations. If you disclose that you intend to harm yourself or others, or if you reveal the abuse of a child, elder, or vulnerable person, I am required by law to report this information to the appropriate authorities. Additionally, any information provided during coaching sessions may be disclosed if ordered by a court of law.

Technology Use
You understand that the use of technology, including email, phone, or video conferencing, carries risks regarding confidentiality and data security. By engaging in coaching services through these platforms, you accept these risks.

Session Recording and Transcription
You acknowledge that all coaching sessions may be recorded for the purpose of maintaining accurate records and for quality assurance. These recordings may be transcribed by a third-party transcriber. By participating in coaching sessions, you give your express consent to be recorded and for the sessions to be transcribed. You understand that these recordings and transcripts will be kept confidential and stored securely. They will not be shared or distributed outside of Christie Hertzler, Christie Hertzler Coaching or No Boss Network LLC without your written permission, except in circumstances required by law.
