Somatic coaching is a holistic approach to personal transformation intended to support self-awareness, emotional processing, nervous system regulation, embodiment, and personal growth. Sessions are provided for educational, reflective, and self-development purposes only.

You participate voluntarily and accept full responsibility for your physical, mental, emotional, and psychological wellbeing before, during, and after sessions.

​

You confirm that:

• you are at least 18 years old;

• you are responsible for determining whether participation is suitable for you;

• you will disclose any physical or mental health condition, diagnosis, injury, medication, or circumstance that may affect your ability to participate safely;

• you will seek appropriate professional or emergency support where required;

• you will stop participation if you experience distress, overwhelm, pain, or any adverse reaction.

​

You understand that somatic practices may involve emotional discomfort, nervous system activation, emotional release, fatigue, or resurfacing memories.

Somatic coaching is not psychotherapy, counselling, or psychiatry, it is not a substitute for medical or mental health care, and The Rooted Way does not provide crisis, emergency, or safeguarding services. Nothing shared during sessions constitutes medical, psychological, legal, financial, or therapeutic advice. No diagnosis, treatment, cure, or guaranteed outcome is provided or implied.

You agree not to participate while experiencing acute psychological distress or any condition requiring clinical or emergency support, including active suicidality, psychosis, severe dissociation, or substance intoxication. All decisions and actions taken following sessions remain your sole responsibility.

​

The Rooted Way reserves the right to pause, decline, terminate, or refer clients to alternative support at any time where participation is deemed unsuitable or unsafe.

You are responsible for maintaining a safe, private, and suitable environment during online sessions, as well as your own internet connection and equipment.

The Rooted Way is not liable for technical issues, internet failure, platform outages, unauthorised access, data breaches beyond reasonable control, or other technology-related disruptions.

All information shared during sessions will be treated confidentially in accordance with applicable UK data protection laws. Confidentiality may be limited where disclosure is required by law, safeguarding obligations arise, or there is risk of serious harm to yourself or others.

Sessions may not be recorded, reproduced, distributed, or shared without prior written consent.

All materials and content provided remain the intellectual property of The Rooted Way unless otherwise agreed in writing.
