This Agreement is entered into by and between Devin Scott (Coach) and the undersigned (Client). 

COACH-CLIENT RELATIONSHIP

Client is entering a professional relationship with Coach to provide talk-based supportive services. Client understands that this relationship is not governed by any licensure or certification.

SERVICE DEFINED

This contract will govern any talk-based work scheduled between Client and Coach. “Talk-based work” is defined as a paid session of any length in which the primary method of contact is speech (as opposed to physical touch). 

Client understands that at the time of signing this contract, Coach’s only public offering is for a 50 minute session. This length will be the default for any session scheduled unless specified otherwise.

At the time of signing this contract, Client and Coach have agreed to and scheduled at least one session. Client understands that signing this contract constitutes the creation of a Master Services Agreement that will govern any future work scheduled. Unless terminated by either party, this contract grants Client the right to schedule future sessions with Coach under this agreement. Neither Coach nor Client have agreed to any future sessions beyond what is scheduled at the time of executing this contract.

GOAL OF SERVICE

Service performed under this agreement aims to support the Client in:

1. Developing skills in mindfulness, compassion, equanimity, and somatic resourcing.

2. Listening to the sensations, feelings, and thoughts of Client’s mind-body and understanding their various drives.

3. Defining their guiding values and principles.

4. Developing behavioral and lifestyle plans aligned to client’s goals and visions.

Coach is not acting as a mental health or medical professional - and this service does not involve the diagnosis or treatment of mental, physical, or emotional disorders. This service does not serve as a substitute for mental health or medical treatment.

SCOPE OF SERVICE

A session can include any intervention or practice that can be guided through speech. This includes but is not limited to

1. Dialogue

2. Guided Meditation and Mindfulness

3. Guided somatic practices (such as breathwork, movement, stretching, and vocalization)

4. Behavioral planning

If a session is in person, Coach may offer supportive touch if consented to by Client. This can include but is not limited to:

1. Moving Client into a specific stretch or physical activity

2. Guiding a client’s hand to a specific area of the body

3. Placing a hand on client’s body in a supportive way

4. Offering a hug

Client understands that Coach may clear energy as he works.

Client understands that Coach has broad training and experience that he can pull from during a session. This training includes but is not limited to health and wellness coaching, psychotherapy, yoga, meditation, breathwork, mindful self-compassion, personal training, assisted stretching, corrective exercise, nutrition coaching, cranial sacral therapy, emotional freedom technique (“tapping”), kinesiology, inner family systems, somatic trauma therapy, massage therapy, and compassionate inquiry. A full list of training and credentials can be found at www.findyourmeaning.coach/about. Client understands and acknowledges that these trainings give Coach a wide lens of expertise to provide on-the-spot interventions and practices, as well as alternative perspectives, opinions, and advice.

Client understands that any Coach-directed activities or provided opinions may be unsolicited, and that that Client may freely accept or reject any opinion, perspective, advice, or on-the-spot intervention or practice offered by Coach.

EXCLUDED SERVICES

This contract will not govern any bodywork, yoga classes, breathwork sessions, relationship coaching or Leela Game Facilitation scheduled with Coach.

SCHEDULING

Client can schedule appointments via the website / Acuity Scheduler of Find Your Meaning, by emailing Coach at devin@findyourmeaning.coach, or by texting Coach at 267-368-3256.

RE-SCHEDULING AND CANCELLATION 

Clients may re-schedule or cancel appointments up to 24 hours before the appointment via the website / Acuity Scheduler of Find Your Meaning, by emailing Coach at devin@findyourmeaning.coach, or by texting Coach at 267-368-3256.

No-show appointments and cancellations or rescheduling attempts within 24 hours of the appointment will be billed as regular sessions. At Coach’s discretion, he may reschedule these sessions on a case-by-case basis.

OUTSIDE CONTACT AND COMMUNICATION

Coach is able to answer up to three individual texts or e-mails from Client after each session. This is offered for informational purposes, and is not meant to be used as a significant emotional resource. Responses are likely to be many hours delayed from the original text, as Coach tries to stay detached from his phone. 

Coach is not the correct contact for moments of crisis. In moments of crisis, please call an appropriate hotline.

Should Coach and Client meet in public, Client is free to approach Coach, and to disclose the nature of their relationship to Client’s friends and / or family. If Client initiates in this way, Coach will reciprocate the greeting and acknowledgement. In these situations, Coach will likely soon excuse himself to return to his personal life.

Unless there has been prior  approval, Coach will neither approach Client in public nor will Coach disclose the nature of their Coach-Client relationship.

Any of these rules may be modified in written agreement by Coach and Client.

FEES AND BILLING

The default fee for a 50 minute coaching session at the signing of this contract is $150. Client understands and accepts that any currently scheduled sessions will be billed at that rate, and any future scheduled sessions will be billed at that rate.

If Coach has agreed to a reduced fee for Client in writing, that fee will supersede the default rate. If Coach raises his rate after the signing of this contract, he will inform Client in writing. If Client agrees in writing to the increased rate, that will supersede this contract. If Coach and Client schedule a custom session outside of the default 50 minute timing, they will agree on the fee in writing when scheduling.

Coach offers billing in three ways:

1. If Client schedules a session via the website / Acuity scheduler of Find Your Meaning, Client will pay via the scheduler payment system when booking.

2. If Client schedules a session by email or text, Coach will send an invoice by e-mail after the session. Client will have seven days to pay the invoice.

3. If Client is scheduled for a recurring, regular session, Coach will set up a subscription plan for Client that will automatically bill the week of the session.

TERMINATION

Either Client or Coach may terminate this agreement in writing at any time and for any reason. All services performed prior to termination will remain governed by this contract.

CONFIDENTIALITY

The coaching relationship and all information Client shares with Coach are confidential. The Coach will not disclose this information to any other parties without Client’s explicit permission. There are exceptions: when disclosure is required by superseding law, when information is received that someone may be harmed, when there is a threat to Client’s health or safety, or when Coach is seeking consultation by a similarly qualified peer or mentor and that consultation relationship is protected by confidentiality. Client acknowledges that in these circumstances, the Coach is permitted or may be obligated to report information shared by Client.

LIABILITY WAIVER

Client assures that they have signed the Liability Waiver for Find Your Meaning with Devin Scott (or will sign it before the first coaching session), and acknowledges that their agreement to the Liability Waiver covers all services in this agreement.

In particular, Client understands and acknowledges that Coach is not acting as a mental health or medical professional - and that coaching does not involve the diagnosis or treatment of mental, physical, or emotional disorders.

Client is aware that results or specific outcomes through coaching are not guaranteed. Client acknowledges that they are responsible for their own results and outcome. Client agrees to hold Coach free of all responsibility and liability for any adverse situations created as a direct or indirect result of resources, referrals, or advice given by Coach.

SEVERABILITY

If any provision of this Agreement is found to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect.

ENTIRE AGREEMENT

This Agreement along with the aforementioned Liability Waiver constitute the entire agreement between the Client and Coach with respect to the subject matter contained herein and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous understandings, agreements, representations, and warranties, both written and oral, regarding such subject matter.
