Welcome to Melissa Eppard Coaching. By purchasing coaching services, participating in a program, workshop, group coaching session, or event, or using materials provided through Melissa Eppard Coaching, you acknowledge and agree to the following terms.

 

Nature of Coaching Services

Melissa Eppard Coaching provides educational, personal development, and coaching services intended to support individuals in areas such as stress reduction, nervous system awareness, survivorship, relationships, intimacy, pleasure, confidence, personal growth, and overall well-being.

​

Coaching is a collaborative process designed to support reflection, goal setting, personal insight, and positive change. Coaching is not medical treatment, psychotherapy, mental health counseling, diagnosis, or healthcare.

Melissa Eppard is a certified life coach and does not provide services as a physician, psychologist, psychotherapist, psychiatrist, licensed mental health counselor, sex therapist, or other licensed healthcare provider unless explicitly stated otherwise.

 

Medical and Mental Health Disclaimer

Information shared through coaching sessions, programs, workshops, written materials, websites, social media, emails, or other communications is provided for educational and informational purposes only and should not be considered medical or mental health advice.

 

Nothing provided through Melissa Eppard Coaching is intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any medical or psychological condition.

 

Participants should consult an appropriately qualified healthcare professional regarding medical symptoms, diagnoses, medications, treatment decisions, sexual or reproductive health concerns, mental health concerns, or changes to an existing treatment plan.

 

Never disregard or delay professional medical or mental health care because of information discussed during coaching or contained in educational materials.

 

If you are experiencing a medical or mental health emergency, contact an appropriate healthcare professional or emergency service immediately.

​

Cancer and Survivorship Coaching

Coaching related to cancer, survivorship, life after diagnosis, body image, sexuality, intimacy, menopause, or other health-related experiences is intended to complement—not replace—care provided by your medical team.

 

Individual health experiences vary considerably. Experiences, strategies, resources, or information discussed during coaching should not be interpreted as individualized medical recommendations.

​

Intimacy and Sexual Wellness

Some coaching programs may include conversations or educational material related to intimacy, sexuality, body image, pleasure, relationships, sensuality, or sexual wellness.

 

Participation in these conversations and exercises is voluntary. Clients are encouraged to honor their personal boundaries and may decline to participate in any exercise or discussion that does not feel appropriate for them.

 

Coaching and educational information related to sexuality or intimacy does not constitute medical treatment, pelvic health treatment, sex therapy, couples therapy, or mental health counseling.

​

Client Responsibility

By participating in coaching, you acknowledge that you remain responsible for your own decisions, actions, physical and emotional well-being, relationships, finances, and healthcare choices.

​

You agree to use your own judgment regarding whether coaching suggestions, exercises, resources, or practices are appropriate for you and to seek qualified professional advice when necessary.

​

No Guarantee of Results

Coaching outcomes vary from person to person. Melissa Eppard Coaching makes no guarantee regarding specific personal, professional, relationship, health, financial, emotional, or other outcomes resulting from coaching.

 

Testimonials, client stories, and examples describe individual experiences and should not be interpreted as promises or guarantees of similar results.

 

Group Coaching and Confidentiality

Participants in group coaching programs, workshops, or community discussions may share personal information and experiences. Participants are expected to respect the privacy and confidentiality of other participants and not disclose identifying or personal information shared within the group.

 

Melissa Eppard Coaching will make reasonable efforts to foster a respectful and confidential environment. However, because group programs involve other participants, absolute confidentiality cannot be guaranteed.

 

Participants should use their own discretion when deciding what personal information to share in a group setting.

 

Digital Communications and Online Sessions

Coaching sessions and programs may be conducted through videoconferencing, email, online platforms, or other digital communication methods. While reasonable measures may be taken to protect privacy, no electronic communication system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

 

By participating in online coaching, you acknowledge and accept the inherent privacy risks associated with electronic communication.

 

Educational Materials and Intellectual Property

Unless otherwise stated, worksheets, exercises, recordings, presentations, written materials, course materials, and other resources provided through Melissa Eppard Coaching are the intellectual property of Melissa Eppard Coaching and are intended for the participant's personal use.

​

Materials may not be reproduced, distributed, sold, published, recorded, or shared publicly without prior written permission.

 

Recordings

Coaching sessions, workshops, or group programs will not be recorded for promotional or public use without appropriate notice and consent. If a program includes recordings for participant access, participants will be informed in advance.

Participants may not independently record coaching sessions or group programs without prior permission.

 

Payments, Cancellations, and Refunds

Program fees, payment schedules, cancellation policies, and refund terms will be communicated at the time of registration or purchase.

​

Unless otherwise stated in writing, purchasing or registering for a coaching program constitutes an agreement to pay the stated program fee according to the payment terms presented at checkout.

​

Any program-specific cancellation or refund policy presented during registration will control if it differs from these general terms.

 

Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Melissa Eppard Coaching and its owner, representatives, contractors, and affiliates shall not be liable for any direct or indirect loss, injury, damage, or other consequence arising from decisions or actions taken based upon coaching conversations, educational materials, workshops, programs, or information provided through the website.

Nothing in these Terms is intended to waive or limit any rights or liability that cannot legally be waived or limited under applicable law.

 

Third-Party Resources

Melissa Eppard Coaching may occasionally recommend books, practitioners, organizations, products, websites, services, or other resources for informational purposes. A recommendation or reference does not constitute a guarantee or endorsement of the safety, effectiveness, qualifications, or suitability of a third party.

​

Clients are responsible for evaluating third-party services and resources independently.
