The client understands that the role of an Integrative Health and Wellness Coach is not to prescribe supplements or medications; provide health care, medical or nutritional therapy services; or to diagnose, treat or cure any disease, condition or other physical or mental ailment of the human body. An Integrative Health and Wellness Coach is a mentor and guide who has been trained in holistic health coaching to help clients reach their own health goals by helping devise and implement positive, sustainable lifestyle changes. The client understands the coach is not acting in the capacity of a doctor, licensed dietician, nutritionist, psychologist or other licensed or registered professional, and that any advice given by the coach is not meant to take the place of advice by these professionals. If the client is under the care of a healthcare professional or currently uses prescription medications, the client should discuss any dietary changes or potential dietary supplements use with his or her doctor, and should not discontinue any prescription medications without first consulting his or her doctor. The client has chosen to work with the coach and understands that the information received should not be seen as medical or nursing advice and is not meant to take the place of seeing licensed health professionals.
