Privacy Policy and Disclosures

We take your privacy seriously. Any information provided by an individual to Renew Your Faith Life Coaching and Consulting, or Sherry Ann Stevens, such as name, address, phone number, credit card numbers, or any other personal information gathered for the purposes of signing up for services or site use will be kept confidential. We will only collect the data necessary to help us achieve the purpose needed for our services. We will not transfer your information to a third-party, sell your information, or disclose to any other entity without your express written permission. 

  1. As a client, I understand and agree that I am fully responsible for my physical, mental and emotional well-being during my coaching sessions, including my choices and decisions. I am aware that I can choose to discontinue coaching at any time.

2. I understand that by entering into this coaching agreement it will be to develop a Professional-Client relationship designed to facilitate the creation and development of personal, professional or business goals as well as a strategy for achieving those goals.

3. I understand that coaching is a comprehensive process that may involve all areas of my life, including work, finances, health, relationships, education and recreation. I acknowledge that deciding how to handle these issues, incorporate coaching into those areas, and the implementation of my choices is exclusively my responsibility.

4. I understand that coaching does not involve the diagnosis or treatment of mental disorders as defined by the American Psychiatric Association. I understand that coaching is not a substitute for counseling, psychotherapy, psychoanalysis, mental health care or substance abuse treatment and I will not use it in place of any form of diagnosis, treatment or therapy. If I am currently receiving psychiatric care, I will consult with my caregiver to ensure working with a coach is in my best interest at this time.

5. I understand that information will be held as confidential unless I state otherwise, in writing, except as required by law. I understand that if I reveal information that involves physically hurting myself or others, the coach must report such information and/or refer to mental health professionals accordingly.

6.  I understand that certain topics may be anonymously and hypothetically shared with other coaching professionals or clients for training, educational OR consultation purposes and that Sherry Stevens and Renew Your Faith Life Coaching will take great care to change any identifiable details to protect my privacy.

7. I understand that coaching is not to be used as a substitute for professional advice by legal, medical, financial, business or other qualified professionals. I will seek independent professional guidance for legal, medical, financial, business or other matters. I understand that all decisions in these areas are exclusively mine and I acknowledge that my decisions and my actions regarding them are my sole responsibility.

8. Because professional coaching is not considered medical consultation or treatment, I understand that health insurance does not apply.
