COACHING AGREEMENT

This Agreement is entered into by and between Coach Erin M. Marth/Better Things with Erin and the Client. The goal to provide professional coaching services to assist personal growth and wellness goals.

1. COACH RESPONSIBILITY:

- The Coach agrees to show up to the session on time and will be prepared to provide focus and framework to support the client's process. 

- The Coach agrees to provide sessions that are professional, respectful of whatever the client shares as uniquely important to the client without judgement or bias.

- The Coach will respect the boundaries of her profession by being clear that coaching is not counseling, and as a coach has no authorization to diagnose or treat any mental or emotional conditions. 

2. CLIENT RESPONSIBILITY:

- The Client agrees to show up to the session on time, knowing they have full access to a 60 minute coaching session from the scheduled start time, and with an awareness that arriving at the appointment after the scheduled time will reduce the time of the session as it will still end on time as scheduled.

- The Client agrees to take ownership and responsibility for creating and implementing their own physical, mental, and emotional well-being, decisions, choices, actions, and results that may result from the coaching relationship.

- While coaching involves deep exploration, it is not a substitute for professional mental health care or medical advice. The Client agrees to seek professional help if needed.

3. COACHING IS A SERVICE:

- By entering into a coaching relationship, the Client understands and acknowledges that he/she/they are are solely responsible for their own choices.  No guarantees or outcomes are being promised to the Client as a result of coaching.  The Client is encouraged to seek advice or second opinions of any other helpful professionals before proceeding with any ideas discussed during coaching sessions.

- Coaching is a collaborative effort and while the Coach is prepared to assist the Client in gaining Clarity, Self-Trust and Vision in addition to other goals the Client may have, the Client acknowledges that any and all results depend on the Client's commitment and actions taken toward their personal goals.

- The Coach and Client equally take ownership of integrity and accountability as it pertains to their positions in this relationship. Conversations about personal boundaries, ethics, and other assets of social engagement are mutually respected as they may arise in session. The session is focused on the Client, with the allowance to the Coach of some personal information to the degree that it may serve the Client in some way.  The Client is always welcome to express personal opinions without fear of discrimination from the Coach.

- The Coach will maintain the confidentiality of all Client information shared during coaching sessions, except as otherwise required by law or if the client shares in session that they are planning to harm themselves or another person, the Coach reserves the right to break confidentiality to do what they are able to ensure that no one is harmed.
 

5. CANCELLATION POLICY:

- Time is a valuable resource for both Coach and Client, the Client is advised to please be mindful of their scheduled appointments and to take care to cancel or reschedule the session as needed prior to the 24 hour window of your scheduled time to avoid a full charged fee for your session.

- With an effort of understanding and flexibility, each client is allowed a "Free Pass" if a last minute cancellation is unavoidable, allowing the client to reschedule that appointment without penalty.
