Limitations
I recognize that I am not the right healer for everyone. Some clients may require modalities or expertise that I do not provide. In such cases, I am committed to offering referrals to other practitioners who can best support their healing journey.

Dual Relationships
The term “client” applies specifically to therapeutic interactions. Many of my clients are also friends, chosen family, or community members; in these cases, we will respectfully negotiate boundaries around interactions outside the healing space.

Privacy
The confidentiality of clients and identifying information is paramount. Information is only shared under the following circumstances:

• When there is a specific and imminent danger to an individual or society, in which case identifying information is shared only with appropriate professionals or authorities.

• When consultation or supervision is necessary, situational information may be shared without revealing identifying details.

• In educational contexts, situational information may be shared without identifying any individual.

Consent
Authentic consent is central to all healing work. I prioritize clear, ongoing consent in every interaction.

Authenticity
My intention is to create a brave, safer space where clients can grow to live and love as their authentic selves, free from shame or guilt.

Sexuality
Sexuality is a natural, healthy part of identity. As long as all expressions of sexuality are rooted in authentic consent, clients are fully supported without judgment.

Communication
Radical honesty and open communication are essential. I will discuss the work in detail, confirm consent regularly, and answer questions to ensure understanding and collaboration.

Boundaries
The healer-client relationship carries inherent power dynamics and is sacred. It is never to be used to obtain favor or advantage. Feelings of attachment or affection may arise; these are natural but should be discussed promptly to protect the integrity of the therapeutic process.

Freedom
Therapeutic relationships are temporary and exist only as long as they are healthy and beneficial for all involved. Relationships may end by mutual agreement or at the discretion of any party at any time.

Touch

Some aspects of coaching and healing work may involve somatic touch. Any touch that occurs is always consensual and negotiated in advance, using a clear verbal consent model to establish which areas of the body may or may not be touched. Because each body and mind responds differently, it is not always possible to determine every risk or benefit of touch; your coach will communicate as clearly as possible about potential effects.

During sessions, we model and honor: “No” means no, “Yes” means yes, and “I want to try” indicates informed consent to explore experiences where the highest level of growth—and potential risk—may occur. 

If somatic touch becomes appropriate within a session, it will be applied consciously, with the explicit goal of supporting healing, growth, and self-awareness. The safety and boundaries of all involved are the highest priority, and every precaution will be taken to prevent harm. Somatic touch in the therapeutic space is strictly unidirectional—from healer to client—and never for the purpose of the healer’s personal pleasure. Clients may practice techniques outside of sessions with a practice partner if desired.

• 
  Love is not sterile. Connection, pleasure, and intimacy are essential aspects of human experience. The term “client” applies only within the context of a coaching relationship. Outside of that context, you will be referred to as you prefer—“member of a shared community” is a respectful starting point.

• Love is communicative. I will clearly discuss objectives, parameters, and expectations for our coaching relationship so clients can make informed choices.

• Love is not ownership. The coaching relationship is temporary, focused entirely on your physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. It may be concluded by mutual agreement or at the client’s discretion.

• Love is egoless. I will recognize the limits of my training and competence and will never attempt methods beyond my skills or scope. When appropriate, I will offer referrals or seek guidance from professional mentors.

• Love is harmless. Touch, if incorporated, is always consensual, conscious, and designed to support growth and safety. There will be no touch of the chest/breast tissue, genitals, or buttocks. Clear agreements about any somatic work are established before engagement.

• Love is discreet. Client privacy and confidentiality are paramount. Identifying information will never be shared without written consent, except in cases outlined in the coaching consent form.

• Love is safe. I take responsibility for minimizing physical, emotional, and spiritual risks. This includes precautions against communicable disease, as well as fostering safe spaces for all forms of exploration.

• Love is caring. I actively maintain self-awareness about personal conditions that may affect my work. Clients may be referred elsewhere if I am unable to fully serve their needs.

• Love is consensual. All interactions are based on informed, voluntary consent. Clients are never coerced or required to participate in any activity, and are educated on consent and empowered to exercise choice throughout the coaching process.

• Love is not greedy. The coach-client relationship is one of privilege and trust. I will never seek advantage or favor, nor exploit the inherent power dynamic in coaching.

• Love is not lust. Coaching is unidirectional—coach to client. Attachments beyond the coaching relationship will be addressed professionally, and referrals made as needed.
