Scope Of Work:  Hypnosis, Hypnotherapy, and/or Life Coaching Services

You are retaining me to provide hypnosis, hypnotherapy, and life coaching services.  Hypnosis, hypnotherapy, and life coaching are different from counseling, psychotherapy, or psychoanalysis and do not deal with the diagnosis or treatment of emotional problems.  Since hypnosis, hypnotherapy, and life coaching do not constitute a medical consultation or treatment, health insurance does not apply.  Hypnosis, hypnotherapy, and life coaching may be used individually or in conjunction. 

Creating Ideal Conditions For Your Sessions

You are hiring me as your hypnotist, hypnotherapist, and life coach because you want to make significant changes in your life.  Sometimes, these changes will happen quickly, sometimes not.  We will collaborate and work through the other side when the going gets tough.  As your consultant, you have my word that I am 100% committed to you getting the changes you want.
  
To help you get the most out of your sessions, I recommend you do the following:
 
If you are doing your appointment via Zoom, please sit in a quiet space, free of background distractions and noise, in a place where you can have complete privacy.   Please do not schedule sessions when you are driving, walking around, in public places with a lot of noise, or in charge of supervising children.
 
f you are making your appointment in person, I have a sound machine outside my office. This is to provide you with a more confidential experience and minimize other noises outside my office. My office is usually around 65 degrees, so please bring a sweater. I do have blankets in the event you forget. Blankets are washed after use.  If we do a session using the wireless headsets, your headset will be cleaned with alcohol swabs and covered with ear protectors before use.
 

If you bring someone with you, they will be asked to sit in the lobby unless their presence is necessary.  If you must bring your children, please make sure they have a way to entertain themselves (book, smartphone, game, etc.) for your session so as not to disturb the other tenants in the building.
  
One of my main goals is to provide a safe and comfortable space for you to grow and thrive.  Please let me know immediately if I ever do or say anything that upsets you or doesn't feel right.  This session is all about getting results for you! 

Scheduling, Rescheduling, and Session Forfeiture

If you are doing more than one session, waiting extended periods between sessions minimizes the benefits of coaching.  To maintain momentum and get the most benefit from our time together, please schedule all of your sessions beforehand. 
 
I recommend that you schedule one session per week or every other week.  If you have planned events that prevent this schedule, such as a vacation, please schedule as close to that interval as possible.

I also understand that rescheduling may be necessary from time to time.  We can do that if something arises and we must reschedule a particular appointment.  Please note that 48-HOUR NOTICE IS REQUIRED TO RESCHEDULE.  If a 48-hour notice is given, I will do my best to reschedule you for the same week as the original appointment.
  
If less than 48-hour notice is given, the session will be forfeited, meaning it will still be counted as if you had the session. It will NOT be rescheduled. However, because I understand “life” happens, you are allowed to have one (1) “session reschedule” if there are extenuating circumstances.
 
If you are late to your session, I will begin attempting to reach you after 10 minutes.  If after 20 minutes you are not on the call, I will reach out by text or email to remind you of your session. Please reply to the email or text me at 941-228-0230 to let me know when you are able to join the call to start your session.  We will work together for the remaining minutes of our scheduled session.  Unfortunately, I cannot extend session times to accommodate late shows.
 
If you have yet to contact me within 30 minutes after the session has begun, the session will be forfeited. I will continue to reach out to make contact so that we can deal with any difficulty you are having and confirm your next session. 

Acceptance of This Agreement

By signing this contract, you agree to the following:
 
I am of legal age and understand you are entering into a cooperative relationship of your own free will. 
 
You are participating in hypnosis and hypnotherapy by your choice and because you want to be here.    

You understand that you are not a patient, but a co-operator in your hypnosis experience.                       
You accept 100% responsibility for your emotional, mental, physical, and spiritual well-being before, during, and after sessions.  Should you instruct others on the techniques shared in your sessions, you will ask them to take the same responsibility for themselves.
 
You understand that transformation is a process.  It can take time.  You did not get to be who you are in 90 minutes, so it may take longer than 90 minutes for Traci to assist you in making the desired changes in your behaviors and habits.
 
You understand that if you are being treated for Depression, Anxiety, Insomnia, PTSD, Mental Illness or any other psychologically diagnosed condition by a licensed healing arts professional, you can not receive Hypnosis or Hypnotherapy without a written prescription or referral from the licensed healing arts professional treating you condition, per Florida Statute 485.
 
You will continue to take all of your medications as prescribed and remain under the care of your physician or therapist for any medical, emotional, or mental condition for which you are currently being treated or believe you may need treatment for.
 
You agree that you will not use the techniques learned in your sessions to try to solve a problem where your common sense would tell you it is not appropriate.
 
You agree to allow Traci Kanaan / Wings Hypnosis, LLC to audio and video record your sessions.  These recordings are for your personal, ongoing use ONLY, and these recordings are made with your pre-approval and knowledge.  Wings Hypnosis, LLC retains ALL copyrights of these recordings.  You agree not to change, alter, reproduce, manufacture, or sell these recordings in any way, shape, or form without express written consent from Traci A. Kanaan.
 
You understand that your full identity will NEVER be disclosed without your prior consent, if the issues Traci addresses during private sessions are shared with others in a general way, for the purpose of educating others about these techniques.
 
You understand that Traci Kanaan is a Certified Hypnotist and Certified Hypnotherapist.  She is NOT a medical doctor, nutritionist, licensed social worker, mental health counselor, or any other medical professional.  You acknowledge that she has no formal training in these fields and does not portray herself as such. 

You understand that Hypnosis or Hypnotherapy are legal, stand-alone professions and not licensed healing arts modalities in the state of Florida.
 
You, being of legal age or with a parental signature if under 18 years of age, your heirs, executors, administrators, and assignees, do hereby release and discharge Wings Hypnosis, LLC and Traci Kanaan from all claims of damages, copyrights, demands, or actions whatsoever in any manner arising from or growing out of your cooperative participation.

No Guarantees

I (Traci Kanaan), will provide my best advice, resources, and skills in your sessions. I cannot guarantee the outcome of your results as you apply them to your situation, and my comments about the outcome are expressions of opinion only. I make no guarantees other than that the services described in “Scope Of Work” shall be provided to you. In signing this agreement, you agree to take 100% responsibility for all outcomes and results based on your decision to implement my suggestions, whether in whole or in part, or not at all. 

Refund Policy

The consulting fee is non-refundable, including unused sessions. You have up to 6 months from the date of purchase to use your sessions.  Any sessions not used within 6 months are subject to a contract renewal fee of $100 if renewed within 6 months of expiration.  Sessions not used within 12 months are forfeited.

If, for some reason, you are just not able to continue consulting and have unused sessions that you will not be able to use for yourself, I do allow sessions to be transferred to someone of your choice if you are amenable to the following conditions:

• The recipient is willing to have a 60-minute evaluation conversation on the phone (Discovery Session).

• The recipient is someone whose issues/challenges fall under my scope of work.

• The recipient or you pays a $150 transfer fee to cover my administration and processing time.

Refund In The Event Of My Death Or Disability

In the event of my death or disaster that prevents me from continuing our consulting work, you will receive a prorated refund for the sessions left that were purchased 6 months prior to my death.   Any unused sessions purchased more than 6 months before my death will be forfeited and no refunds given.  

Confidentiality

I AM COMMITTED TO YOUR PRIVACY. Information revealed during consulting sessions (verbally, in recorded calls, or in written format) will remain confidential unless disclosure is required by law.

These disclosure conditions include any reasonable suspicion of child, dependent, or elder abuse; when you are in danger to others; or when you are likely to harm yourself unless protective measures are taken. If there is ever a time when your emotional status is an issue in a legal proceeding (i.e., child custody evaluation, worker's compensation claim, etc.) a judge may subpoena your records and my testimony if he/she determines the issues demand it.  In most legal proceedings, however, I can prevent providing others with information about our session work.
