The Self-Worth Lounge Policies and Liabilities
Chanel Vysohlid is an R.H.N, Somatic Practitioner, Meditation and breathwork instructor , Certified Mind-Body Nutrition and Psychology Coach, Energy Healer and E-RYT 200. She is not a clinical psychologist and therefore does not offer psychotherapeutic interventions such as clinical diagnoses and evaluations, talk therapy, prognoses, or related treatment plans. Furthermore, although she may offer referrals to qualified psychotherapeutic and/or medical practitioners, the client is solely responsible for consulting such practitioners for any psychological or physical ailments they may have.
YOUR PERSONAL PROCESS
The Self-Worth Lounge offers somatic therapy and coaching that is a process-oriented. This means that the goal in the client-practitioner relationship is to identify and work in harmony with the client’s own unique personal process, without attachment to a particular outcome and within the client’s range of tolerance. This process relies primarily on the client’s felt sense of what is true in addition to the practitioner's professional training and intuition.
CONFIDENTIALITY
The client-practitioner relationship is treated with the same confidentiality as in any other field of health care. Client notes can be shared with designated individuals and organizations only with the client’s express written permission. In addition, all aspects of conversation are protected by confidentiality except where indicated by law (i.e., if the client expresses desire to and/or has already participated in harm—physical, sexual or otherwise—to themself and/or others that constitutes a crime).
SESSION TERMINATION
The client may terminate a session at any time for any reason. In the event that the client terminates a session, the client is still financially responsible for the full amount of the session.
REGARDING EMOTIONAL EXPERIENCE
At times a client may experience a surge or release of emotion during a session (e.g., crying, laughter, sadness, anger, muscle twitching, appearance of memories or images, etc.). This is normal and even desirable. The client and practitioner work together so that the experience stays within the client’s window of tolerance and are supportive of the client’s particular purposes for the session.
SESSION LENGTH
The length of somatic sessions varies between 60 - 90 minute sessions. Each session includes time at the beginning to discuss what the client wishes to address and sufficient time at the end to allow the client to process the events of the session and/or to feel grounded and ready to leave the studio or video call.
LATE START
If the client arrives late to an appointment, the session will end at the originally scheduled time so that the practitioner can stay on schedule. If the practitioner starts a session late, she will make the time up at the end of the session when possible. If the client is more than 10 minutes to a session, they will be asked to reschedule and will be charged 100% of the session price.
PAYMENT POLICY
The client agrees to pay for a single session at the time of booking. If a client is purchasing a bundle, full payment payment is to be made before the sessions begin. The practitioner will honour payment plans at no additional cost. IMPORTANT: I understand that purchasing session bundles is an investment that honours a reduced rate and is specifically designed to be used within their designated timeframe - starting the date of purchase. These bundles provide a cost-effective opportunity to access our services, and we encourage you to utilize the sessions within the allotted time period. This is essential to insure consistent support and sustainable healing to help you achieve the best possible results. Any unused sessions beyond the expiration date may no longer be valid.
CANCELLATION POLICY
The client agrees to give a minimum of 24-hours notice to cancel or reschedule a session so that the practitioner does not lose potential business due to the cancellation. If the session is canceled within:
• 24 hours or more: There is no charge.
Less than 24 hours: The client will be charged 100% of the session price if there is NOT a cancellation or a reschedule that occurs within 24 hours of session.
COMMUNICATION
When purchasing a bundle package, light communication between sessions is accessible, and the practitioner will respond within 48 hours. For additional support throughout the weeks, an hourly rate of $65 may apply, depending on your individual package. Support can be held through email and WhatsApp messaging, as well as voice recordings. If there is something significant arising in the client's system, an emergency session booking is available.
