For Educational and Informational Purposes Only. 
The information provided in or through our Website, Programs, Products and Services is for educational and informational purposes only, and is made available to you as self-help tools for your own use. When using any material obtained from or through School of Living Lighter whether through in-person, phone, Skype, webinars, teleseminars, webcams, social media, and otherwise in a variety of settings, including but not limited to individual and/or group programs, classes, workshops, events, retreats, seminars, consultations and/or trainings, you acknowledge that we are supporting you in our role exclusively as a health coach and in no other role.

Not a Substitute for Medical Advice. 
The information provided in or through our Website, Programs, Products and Services is not intended to be a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis or treatment that can be provided by you or your clients’ own Medical Provider (including doctor/physician, nurse, physician’s assistant, or any other health professional), Mental Health Provider (including psychiatrist, psychologist, therapist, counsellor, or social worker), registered dietitian or licensed nutritionist, or member of the clergy.

Not Holding Self Out. 
In this capacity as a health coach I am not holding myself out to be a Medical Provider (including doctor/physician, nurse, physician’s assistant or any other health professional), Mental Health Provider (including psychiatrist, psychologist, therapist, counselor, or social worker), registered dietician or licensed nutritionist, or member of the clergy.  Rather, I serve as a trainer, educator, coach, mentor and guide.

Consult Your Physician or Health Care Provider. 
Our intent is NOT to replace any relationship that exists, or should exist, between you or your clients’ Medical Provider or Mental Health Provider. You and your clients should always seek the advice of your/their own doctor/physician, nurse practitioner, physician’s assistant, Mental Health Provider, or another health care professional regarding any questions or concerns about your/their specific health situation.  We advise you and your clients to speak with your/their own Medical Provider or Mental Health Provider before implementing any suggestions obtained through our Website, Programs, Products and Services including but not limited to exercise, lifestyle, weight loss, food, vitamins or supplements; engaging in an elimination diet, detox or cleanse; meditation or deep breathing exercises; or participating in any other aspect of a weight loss, healthy eating, exercise and/or lifestyle program. You and your clients shall not disregard professional medical advice or delay seeking professional advice because of information you have read on this website or received from us.  You and your clients should not stop taking any medications without speaking to your Medical Provider and/or Mental Health Provider. If you or your clients have or suspect that you or they have a medical problem, you are advised to contact your/their own Medical Provider or Mental Health Provider promptly.

You acknowledge that you take full responsibility for your own health, life and well-being, as well as the health, lives and well-being of your family and children (where applicable), for all decisions now or in the future.

No Guarantees of Any Kind.
Our role is to support and assist you in reaching your own goals, but your success depends primarily on your own effort, motivation, commitment and follow-through. I cannot and do not guarantee that you will attain a particular result, and you accept and understand that results differ by each individual. Each individual’s health and wellness success depends on his or her background, dedication, desire, and motivation, and a whole host of additional factors. As with any health and wellness related program or service that you purchase, your results may vary, and will be based on many variables, so therefore no guarantees can be made. 

There can be no assurance as to any particular health and wellness outcome, based on the use of our Website, Programs or Services.  You agree that we are not responsible for any other result of any kind that you may have as a result of information presented to you through our Website, Programs and Services.

The conference program and speakers may change (including cancellation of sessions and workshops) without notice.

Testimonials. 
We present real world experiences, testimonials, and insights about other people’s experiences for purposes of illustration only. The testimonials, examples, and photos used are of actual clients and results they personally achieved. Each client has approved these testimonials, examples, and photos for use in materials to speak to our Program, Product and/or Services, but they are not intended to represent or guarantee that current or future clients will achieve the same or similar results.  Rather, these client stories represent what is possible with our Programs, Products and/or Services. Each of these unique stories, and any and all results reported in these stories by our clients on our Website and through our Programs, Products and Services, are the culmination of numerous variables, some of which we cannot control.
