Disclaimer for Services and Products
There are a number of ways you may choose to work with me that are available to purchase or book through my website. The terms and conditions in this document apply to all of my services and products unless alternative terms are explicitly provided to you.
I offer:
• nutritional consultations
• online programs for education about wellbeing
• public speaking, and
• books that I have written.
I may also advertise Retreats where I have been invited to speak. My only responsibility at Retreats is in regard to my own presentation. Any terms applicable to Retreats, including meals, accommodation and activities, will be supplied to you by the Retreat provider, and you should address any concerns that you have with them.
My intention in offering my services and products is to support you to understand the connection between your nutrition, your physical and mental wellbeing, and your emotional resilience.
Why Work with me?
I believe it is my responsibility to:
• conduct consultations in a safe and ethical manner
• prioritise informed consent
• deliver what I have promised with integrity
• hold space for you to explore your needs
• practice within the scope of my qualifications, and
• make all reasonable efforts to meet a high standard of best practice.
What I Expect from You
Important information about how to care for your own wellbeing and get the most value out of working with me is set out below. If you have any questions or concerns, please email me before proceeding with your purchase.
Important Information
For nutritional consultations, your intake form must be emailed back to me before the consultation.
I am not a medical or mental health professional, and my work does not treat or diagnose any disease or illness. At all times, you remain fully responsible for your own physical, emotional and mental wellbeing. If you are taking any medication or treatments, this is not the time to stop.
If you are working with a different health practitioner, it is important that you inform me and continue any treatment plans. I am always happy to work collaboratively as part of your holistic health care team.
If any concerns arise during our work together, I strongly recommend you seek advice from an appropriately qualified medical professional.
Please be patient with your body while doing this work. Nutritional changes take effect gradually and there is no magic wand that can fix everything for you in a single session. You need to take ownership of your journey towards wellbeing, do the work and be prepared to experiment until you find the balance that is best for you.
It helps to approach this work with curiosity and keep an open mind. It is also essential that you are upfront and honest with me in order to really benefit from my services. There may be contraindications between various supplements, vitamins, minerals and medication that I need to take into consideration, so you must warn me if something changes. This includes if you become pregnant, or start taking a new medication. It is especially important that you do not self-medicate, or share any prescriptions or treatment plans with others.
You will get the most out of working with me if you are:
• seeking to improve your physical and mental health so you can make the most of your professional skillset
• an open-minded, curious person who is eager to live your best life • a HR director or any other role where you are responsible for the wellbeing of your employees
• engaged in any type of leadership program, and would like to know more about introducing a wellbeing foundation to explore productivity, energy and communication, or
• involved in the education sector, either as an educator, student or parent and are keen to know more about the links between nutrition, mental resilience, and wellbeing.
You might not be a good fit for this work if you have a serious medical condition. Please contact me before booking your consultation to see whether I will be able to meet your needs.
Indemnity
I do not make any guarantees or warranties about the accuracy of any material displayed on this website, or the products, services, or programs offered through it, except for any non-excludable consumer guarantees and other consumer protection provisions set out in the Australian Consumer Law. I am human and errors creep in despite the best of intentions. If you see something that doesn’t seem right, please let me know.
While I make all reasonable effortsto ensure that this website and my services and products meet with the highest standards of best practice, if something does go wrong that is not a direct result of my negligence, misrepresentation or deliberate fault, you agree that, to the fullest extent permitted by law, I will not be liable for any loss or damage arising out of or related to my website, any products or services purchased through it, or any material posted on it, irrespective of whether such damages were foreseeable, and regardless of the nature of the claim.
You take full responsibility for your implementation of any suggestions that I may make while providing my services. You understand that my advice is limited to providing you with options for your consideration, and that you are solely responsible for any actions that you choose to take. Always consult your own values and vision, do your own research, and check with appropriately qualified professionals before making major decisions or making significant changes. You agree to indemnify me against all consequences arising directly or indirectly from your choices.
You expressly agree that if this indemnity is unenforceable for any reason, my total cumulative liability for all causes of action of any kind shall not exceed the amount that you have paid to me.
Payment Terms
All prices on my website are in Australian dollars and are inclusive of GST.
Payment is required in advance, unless I agree to an alternative arrangement prior to you making your booking or purchase. Alternative arrangements will be entered into at my sole discretion.
I may offer payment plans for some programs. Payment plans are offered for your convenience only, so you can spread your payment out over time. You are still committed to paying the whole amount, even if you change your mind about your purchase, as you have had access to my intellectual property. It is your responsibility to ensure you have sufficient funds to make payment instalments on time.
If an invoice is more than 10 days overdue, you agree to pay all costs, including debt collection agency fees and solicitor’s costs, that I may incur in taking steps to recover any money that you owe to me, regardless of whether legal proceedings are issued in relation to the debt.
Refund Policy
I know there is nothing worse than buying something you can’t use. As a result, I offer a full 100% satisfaction guarantee if you change your mind and decide your purchase is not right for you within 24 hours, except where a consultation has already been provided.
I take my obligations under Australian Consumer Law seriously and will do my best to address any issues that arise. However, even if there is a major problem, my liability is strictly limited to:
• replacing the goods or providing the services again; or
• if I am unable to do so within a reasonable time, refunding the full amount that you have paid to me.
If you feel that there is any problem with my services or your purchase, please let me know within 24 hours. I am keen to understand what has gone wrong if you are unhappy so that I can address your concerns and try to find a mutually acceptable solution.
Delivery
If anything is unclear or confusing, I encourage you to reach out to me so I can provide clarification.
Consultations - provided in person either at your home (by arrangement only), at one of my clinics, or online using Zoom.
Programs - delivered online using Zoom.
Speaking engagements – I am available to speak globally, at a venue arranged by either you or me.
Appointment Policies
Due to the amount of preparation I do before consultations, I require at least 48 hours’ notice in order to reschedule a session. If you provide me with less than 48 hours’ notice or fail to turn up, you will forfeit your payment for the session.
If you are prevented from attending our session due to an emergency beyond your control, please contact me as soon as possible to let me know. I may agree to reschedule at my sole discretion.
The details of all speaking engagements must be finalised and paid for at least 2 weeks in advance of the actual presentation, unless otherwise mutually agreed in writing. Any cancellations or changes of date, venue or other major alteration during the 2 week window before the event will result in forfeiting the full payment, unless due to circumstances beyond your control in which case an administrative fee may be charged at my discretion.
