This Agreement is entered into by and between Gomaa Life Coaching & Consulting LLC (Coach) and the Client named below, under which Coach agrees to provide Coaching Services to Client.
1. Coach-Client Relationship
Coaching is a partnership between the Coach and the Client in a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires the Client to maximize personal and professional potential. It is designed to facilitate the creation and development of personal, professional, or business goals, and to develop and carry out a strategy or plan to achieve them.
The Client is solely responsible for creating and implementing his/her own physical, mental, and emotional well-being, decisions, choices, actions, and results. The Client agrees that the Coach is not and will not be liable or responsible for any actions or inactions, or for any direct or indirect results of any services provided by the Coach. The Client understands that coaching is not therapy, does not substitute for therapy if needed, and does not prevent, cure, or treat any mental disorder or medical disease.
The Client acknowledges that coaching does not involve the diagnosis or treatment of mental disorders as defined by the American Psychiatric Association, and that coaching is not to be used as a substitute for counseling, psychotherapy, psychoanalysis, mental health care, substance abuse treatment, or other professional advice from legal, medical, or other qualified professionals, and that it is the Client’s exclusive responsibility to seek such independent professional guidance as needed.
2. Services
The parties agree to engage in paid coaching sessions through in-person, internet, and telephone meetings. The coach will be available to the Client by e-mail and voicemail in between scheduled meetings.
3. Schedule and Fees
The fee is $75 (paid in advance) per session. Sessions are 60 minutes in length. An additional $150 is charged for each home visit if the client wishes to meet in person.
