Coaching, Not Therapy: Coaching is a collaborative, present- and future-focused service for personal growth, self-awareness, goals, and meaningful change. Although Jenny has a professional background in mental health, services through Jenny Beard Embodiment are coaching, not psychotherapy, counseling, diagnosis, medical care, or treatment of a mental-health condition.

Confidentiality: Anything you share with me during coaching will be treated as confidential and will not be disclosed without your permission, except in certain circumstances.

Confidentiality may be broken when I reasonably believe that you are at imminent risk of seriously harming yourself; when you make a serious threat to harm another person; when I know or reasonably suspect abuse, neglect, or exploitation of a child or an elderly or vulnerable adult; when disclosure is required by a valid court order, subpoena, or other applicable law; or when disclosure is otherwise necessary to respond to an immediate safety emergency.

In these situations, I may contact emergency services, law enforcement, protective services, an appropriate emergency contact, or another appropriate resource as necessary.

Scope and Referrals: If your needs fall outside the scope of coaching or would be better served by a therapist, psychiatrist, physician, crisis service, or another qualified professional, I may recommend additional care and may pause or end coaching when appropriate.

Emergencies: Coaching is not an emergency or crisis service.

For an immediate emergency, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department.

In the U.S., you may also call or text 988 for crisis support.

Fee and Payment: The fee is $150 per session.

Payment is due when booking or no later than 24 hours before your appointment. Sessions may be considered unconfirmed until payment is received.

Coaching is not billed as mental-health treatment or submitted to insurance.

Cancellations and No Shows:

Please provide at least 24 hours’ notice to cancel or reschedule.

With timely notice, your prepaid fee may be transferred to your rescheduled session.

Cancellations with less than 24 hours’ notice and missed appointments forfeit the full session fee.

Genuine emergencies may be considered at my discretion.

Communication and Virtual Sessions: Email and text are primarily for scheduling and brief administrative communication, not crisis support or ongoing coaching between sessions.

Virtual clients are responsible for participating from a reasonably private location and maintaining their own device and internet connection.

Personal Boundaries and Responsiblity: Coaching is a professional relationship and does not include unlimited between-session access.

Any intuitive, spiritual, reflective, or embodiment-based practices are offered for personal exploration and are not medical, psychological, legal, or financial advice.

You remain responsible for your own choices, actions, and decisions.

Results and Ending Coaching: No specific outcome is guaranteed.

Either of us may end coaching. I may recommend ending or pausing coaching if your needs are outside my scope, policies or professional boundaries cannot be maintained, or another form of support would be more appropriate.

Acknowledgment: By signing below, I confirm that I have read and understand these policies, understand that coaching is not psychotherapy or medical treatment, and agree to the payment, cancellation, communication, confidentiality, and other terms above.
