Disclaimer & Informed Consent

1. Nature of Service

Somatic Experiencing® is a body-oriented therapeutic model developed by Dr. Peter Levine. It supports the resolution of trauma and stress through bodily sensations. It is not a substitute for medical or psychiatric care.

2. Scope of Practice

As a certified Somatic Experiencing® Practitioner, I support trauma resolution and nervous system regulation. I do not diagnose or treat mental health conditions as a medical doctor or psychologist would.

3. Client Responsibility

Your participation requires active engagement and willingness to explore sensations and emotions. Healing is a collaborative process that varies between individuals.

4. Confidentiality

All sessions are held in confidentiality, with respect to legal limits.

5. Referrals

If another form of support is appropriate, I may suggest a professional referral.

6. Cancellation Policy

Sessions require 24-hour notice to avoid being charged.

7. Acknowledgement

By participating, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this disclaimer. You understand Somatic Experiencing® is for personal growth, not professional diagnosis or treatment.

8. Informed Consent

By continuing with sessions, you give your informed consent to the nature and scope of this work.
