This Health, Wellness and Life Coaching Disclaimer applies to all Coaching and Consultancy services provided by me, along with the information provided on my website www.giverneyedwards.com and any of my materials.

Medical disclaimer:

I am not a medical professional, doctor, nutritionist, mental health professional, counsellor or psychotherapist. 

As a Health, Wellness and Life coach, I do not provide healthcare, medical, or nutritional therapy services or attempt to diagnose, treat, prevent, or cure any physical, mental, or emotional issues or conditions.

I will not make medical diagnoses or claims, and I will not provide second opinions or alter the treatment plans or recommendations of your doctor or medical professional.

Not a patient-client relationship:

Engaging in life, health or wellness coaching does not create a doctor-patient, therapist-client, or other healthcare professional relationship between you and me. 

Coaching is not a substitute for the advice, treatment, or diagnosis of a qualified licensed professional. The guidance and support offered during any health or life coaching sessions you may undertake should not replace any consultation, care, diagnosis, or treatment provided by your doctor or other healthcare professional. 

If you experience a medical or mental health emergency, you should seek immediate assistance from a qualified healthcare professional or emergency services. Coaching is not intended for crisis intervention or urgent medical concerns.

I expressly disclaim all responsibility, and shall have no liability for, any damages, loss, injury, or liability howsoever suffered by you, or any third party, as a result of your reliance on any advice, information, or guidance offered during any health or life coaching session, or through my website or materials. You should not rely on any advice, information, or guidance I provide as an alternative to medical advice from your doctor or other healthcare professional, and you should not delay seeking medical advice, disregard medical advice, or discontinue medical treatment because of advice, information, or guidance offered during any life coaching session.

Any nutrition advice issued is not intended to diagnose, treat, prescribe or cure any medical conditions. It is given solely to guide and provide advice to compliment and support your healthy lifestyle goals. 

All forms of exercise carry a risk of injury. Therefore, by undertaking any exercise to compliment or support your healthy lifestyle goals, you do so at your own risk.

You should always seek the advice of a qualified healthcare provider before making any changes to your diet, exercise routine, or lifestyle.
