GENERAL I understand that Samhara Energy Medicine is a stress reduction and relaxation technique. I acknowledge that sessions administered are only for the purpose of helping me relax and to relieve stress. Samhara Energy Medicine Practitioners do not diagnose conditions, nor do they prescribe substances or perform medical treatment, nor interfere with the treatment of a licensed medical professional. It is recommended that I see a licensed physician, or licensed health care professional for any physical or psychological ailment I may have. I also understand the body has the ability to heal itself, and to do so complete relaxation is often beneficial. Long-term imbalances in the body require multiple sessions to allow the body to reach the level of relaxation to bring the system back into balance. I understand and believe that self-improvement requires commitment on my part, and that I must be willing to heal if I am to receive the full benefit of Samhara Energy Medicine. I acknowledge my commitment to my self-improvement process. I recognize that a Samhara session program must be followed to be truly effective, just as prescribed medication is only effective if taken as directed. Refunds Purchases are non-refundable and non-transferable. Arrival I am not able to take appointments more than 5 min early. For late arrivals to private sessions, you will have my full attention for the remainder of your slot. Confidentiality Your confidentiality is guaranteed, with only four exceptions:  1.    If I believe that disclosure is essential to prevent physical injury to yourself or others. 2.    If I am of the opinion that a minor is in need of protection from abuse or neglect. 3.    If my records are subpoenaed by court order. 4.    A client reports misconduct of another health practitioner.
