Service Description
Coaching is a collaborative relationship that is most likely to benefit the client when he or she invests in the process. Life coaching is an investment of not only money, but of time and commitment. It is an investment in you, your relationships, your relationship with God, and in this time in your life..
The website encrypts data containing confidential information according to PCI standards. Zoom meeting content is kept confidential by encrypting the session's video, audio, and screen sharing.

Scheduling, Cancellations, and Termination of Coaching
When scheduling, the client may schedule in advance up to four sessions at a time. Credit cards are accepted, but Debit Cards are not.
​
Cancellation of a session must be no later than 48 hours in advance of your scheduled appointment (force majeure being the exception). If the client does not cancel a session at least 48 hours in advance, or if the client does not keep their appointment (no show), the client forfeits the payment for that session. A client who has a late cancellation without another session on the schedule may schedule one for the first and second occurrence of late cancellation.
​
The coach may terminate ongoing services and prescheduled sessions if the client is a ‘no show’ more than once and/or cancels in less than 48 hours three times. The coach will give notice of this via email.
​
Sessions purchased by the client cannot be given to someone other than the individual the session was purchased for i.e., there can be no subletting. So doing will result in forfeiture of the entire amount paid and removal of all sessions from the schedule.
​
Termination of coaching services by either the coach or the client can be done no less than 48 hours in advance of the client’s expected appointment. Termination in under 48 hours of the expected session or is a ‘no show’ will forfeit the payment for that session. Otherwise, the coach will refund advance payments (minus the 3% refund fee for each payment made originally) for no more than four sessions that remain outstanding (since you may not pay for more than four scheduled sessions at a time except for buying a Plan in full.) There will be no refunds for Plans that were paid in full by a single payment.
Payment
​
Payments are made in advance of the client’s scheduled appointment for both individual sessions and Plan sessions. Because Plans include more than four sessions, there are two ways they can be paid for. The client can pay for a Plan in one payment for the entire amount or in one payment for four sessions (one month) at a time in advance. Payments made in full for the entire Plan amount cannot be refunded or prorated.
​
If your payment does not settle (bounces) or if a valid charge is disputed, subsequent scheduled sessions will be removed from the schedule. The client will be responsible for a 3% fee (credit card charge fee) of the amount of the original payment made along with any other accrued bank fees.
​
Should the client decide not to pursue coaching and has not had a first session but has purchased a session(s) and the charge has been completed (has posted), the client must cancel all scheduled sessions no less than 72 hours prior to the first scheduled session, and via email request a full refund (minus charges accrued for processing). The client will be notified through email when the refund minus accrued fees has been given. If the client cancels all sessions less than 72 hours in advance of the first session, the payment for the first would-be session is forfeited and will not be included in the refunded amount. There will be a 3% fee along with any additional bank fees withheld from the refunded amount.
​
Refunds will only be given under the terms and conditions described above. A 3% fee per payment made will be retained along with any other accrued fees for refunding payment.
Governing Law
