Disclaimer for Health Coaching Services
The information and services provided by Marisa Swanson Health are intended for educational and informational purposes only. By engaging with these health coaching services, you, the client, acknowledge and agree to the following terms:
​
1. No Medical Advice
Marisa Swanson Health offers health coaching rooted in holistic nutrition, lifestyle guidance, and integrative health practices. These services do not diagnose, treat, or cure medical conditions. The advice and information you receive from Marisa, a certified health coach trained through the Institute for Integrative Nutrition (IIN), should not be interpreted as medical advice. Always consult with a qualified, licensed healthcare provider, such as a physician, before making changes to your diet, exercise routine, or lifestyle based on health coaching recommendations.
2. Qualifications and Training
Marisa has completed comprehensive training at the Institute for Integrative Nutrition (IIN), a well-regarded institution in the field of integrative health. This certification does not grant the ability to diagnose, treat, or prescribe medical treatments. Marisa's role is to guide clients in making healthier lifestyle choices, improving nutrition, and embracing self-care practices based on holistic health principles. Health coaching is not a substitute for medical care.
3. Personal Responsibility
You are ultimately responsible for your own health and wellness decisions. The recommendations shared during health coaching are tailored to your personal goals, preferences, and needs. However, results will vary, and health coaching does not guarantee specific outcomes. It is important to understand that health coaching is part of a broader wellness journey and not a quick fix.
4. No Guarantee of Results
While Marisa Swanson Health strives to provide informed, evidence-based guidance, health coaching results are not guaranteed. Health and wellness outcomes depend on numerous factors, including genetics, lifestyle choices, environment, and adherence to recommendations. Success stories or testimonials shared by past clients do not imply the same results for all future clients.
5. Health Coaching Sessions
Health coaching sessions are conducted one-on-one, either in person, over the phone, or virtually. The sessions are customized to your specific health goals and needs. You are encouraged to communicate openly about your health status and any challenges you face. If you have an existing medical condition or are under the care of a healthcare provider, it is essential to continue your treatment plan and consult with them regularly.
6. Confidentiality
We respect your privacy. All personal information shared during health coaching sessions will remain confidential, unless you provide written consent to release it or if disclosure is required by law. Please be aware that confidentiality cannot be fully guaranteed for communications made over the internet, and you assume responsibility for any risks involved.
7. Limitations of Health Coaching Services
Health coaching is intended to complement, not replace, medical care. It is not designed to diagnose or treat specific medical conditions or address urgent medical needs. If you are experiencing physical or mental health issues, such as illness, injury, or conditions like depression or anxiety, please seek the appropriate care from a licensed healthcare provider.
8. Client Commitment
Health coaching is a collaborative process that requires your active participation. You are encouraged to fully engage in the coaching process, be open to new approaches, and implement the suggestions provided. Regular attendance and clear communication are key to achieving the best possible outcomes.
9. Dietary Recommendations and Supplements
Marisa may offer dietary guidance based on holistic health principles. However, these recommendations may not be suitable for individuals with specific health conditions or allergies. Always consult with a licensed healthcare provider, dietitian, or nutritionist before making significant dietary changes or adding supplements to your routine.
10. Release of Liability
By participating in health coaching, you agree to release Marisa Swanson Health and any affiliated parties from any liability, claims, or damages that may result from following advice or recommendations. You are responsible for your own decisions regarding your health and wellness, and you acknowledge that outcomes are ultimately in your hands.
11. Changes to Services
Marisa Swanson Health reserves the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue services at any time. If any changes impact your current coaching arrangement, you will be notified and given the opportunity to discuss alternative options.
12. Emergency Situations
Health coaching is not suitable for medical or psychological emergencies. If you need immediate care, please contact a licensed healthcare provider or call emergency services.
13. Acceptance of Terms
