Coaching Disclaimer

1. Nature of Coaching

Coaching is an educational and developmental relationship intended to support:

• Self-awareness and personal growth
• Goal-setting and aligned action
• Decision-making and self-trust
• Identification of limiting beliefs and conditioning
• Health and body awareness
• Boundaries and self-leadership
• Relationship reflection
• Sexual sovereignty
• Personal responsibility and accountability

Coaching may include questions, observations, educational concepts, exercises, action plans, and reflections based on Tatiana Madden’s Path to Sovereignty framework and books:

• Not Broken, Just Ignored
• Breaking Good Girl Narratives
• Your First Love Affair

The client remains responsible for interpreting the information, making decisions, and determining which actions are appropriate.

2. Sovereignty Clarity Session

The Sovereignty Clarity Session is a 30-minute paid introductory coaching session.

The session may be used to:

• Discuss the client’s current concerns and goals
• Identify patterns or areas requiring greater clarity
• Introduce the Path to Sovereignty coaching approach
• Consider whether private coaching may be an appropriate next step
• Answer general questions about the coaching process

The Sovereignty Clarity Session is not a medical assessment, psychological evaluation, diagnostic consultation, or crisis service.

Purchasing or completing a Sovereignty Clarity Session does not guarantee acceptance into a longer private coaching program. Neither the client nor Tatiana Madden is obligated to continue into a coaching relationship after the session.

The session is scheduled for 30 minutes. Arriving late may reduce the amount of time available and may not result in an extension.

3. Coaching Is Not Psychotherapy or Mental-Health Treatment

Tatiana Madden is not acting as a psychologist, psychiatrist, psychotherapist, licensed professional counselor, clinical social worker, marriage and family therapist, or other licensed mental-health provider.

Coaching is not:

• Psychotherapy
• Trauma treatment
• Marriage counseling
• Mental-health diagnosis
• Psychiatric care
• Substance-use treatment
• Crisis counseling
• Domestic-violence intervention
• A substitute for treatment from a licensed mental-health professional

Although coaching conversations may address emotions, relationships, childhood experiences, beliefs, family conditioning, religion, sexuality, or past events, the purpose is personal development—not clinical treatment.

If concerns arise that are beyond the scope of coaching, Tatiana Madden may recommend that the client consult a licensed therapist, physician, crisis professional, attorney, financial professional, or another qualified provider.

4. Coaching Is Not Medical Care

Tatiana Madden is an author, sovereignty coach, functional wellness educator, healthcare data professional, and Registered Health Information Administrator.

She is not acting through her coaching services as a physician, naturopathic doctor, registered dietitian, nurse practitioner, or other licensed healthcare practitioner.

Coaching does not include:

• Diagnosing a condition
• Ordering or interpreting medical tests as a healthcare provider
• Prescribing medication, supplements, herbs, or treatment
• Treating or curing a disease
• Replacing professional medical care
• Directing a client to stop or alter prescribed treatment

Health and body-awareness discussions are educational. Clients should consult an appropriately licensed healthcare professional before changing medication, supplements, nutrition, exercise, testing, or medical treatment.

The Website’s Medical and Health Disclaimer also applies to coaching-related health and wellness information.

5. No Legal, Financial, or Professional Advice

Coaching may include discussions about money, employment, business, family, relationships, divorce, sexuality, or major life decisions.

These discussions do not constitute:

• Legal advice
• Tax advice
• Financial planning
• Investment advice
• Employment advice
• Professional licensure advice

Clients should consult an appropriately licensed professional before making legal, financial, tax, medical, or other specialized decisions.

6. Relationships and Personal Decisions

Coaching may help a client examine relationship patterns, boundaries, communication, compatibility, autonomy, and personal values.

Tatiana Madden does not make relationship decisions for the client and does not instruct a client to remain in or leave a relationship.

The client remains solely responsible for decisions involving:

• Dating
• Marriage
• Separation or divorce
• Sexual relationships
• Family relationships
• Reconciliation
• Parenting
• Financial arrangements
• Living arrangements
• Personal safety

If abuse, coercion, stalking, threats, or violence may be present, the client should contact an appropriate domestic-violence organization, licensed professional, attorney, law-enforcement agency, or emergency service.

7. Sexuality and Sensitive Topics

Some coaching content may address sexuality, sexual beliefs, shame, desire, pleasure, boundaries, relationships, religion, body image, and conditioning.

These discussions are educational and reflective. They are not sex therapy, medical treatment, or sexual-health diagnosis.

Clients may decline to answer a question, pause a discussion, or state that a topic feels outside their current boundaries.

Participation in coaching never requires a client to disclose sexual details, trauma, medical history, religious beliefs, or other sensitive information beyond what she voluntarily chooses to share.

8. Emotional Discomfort

Personal growth may involve examining beliefs, behaviors, relationships, and experiences that produce discomfort, sadness, anger, grief, fear, or uncertainty.

Emotional discomfort does not necessarily mean that coaching is harmful, but coaching should not be used to treat serious psychological symptoms or replace mental-health care.

The client is responsible for communicating when a conversation feels unsafe, overwhelming, or outside the intended scope of coaching.

Tatiana Madden may pause or discontinue a topic and recommend licensed professional support when appropriate.

9. No Emergency or Crisis Services

Coaching services do not provide emergency response, suicide prevention, crisis intervention, or continuous monitoring.

Tatiana Madden may not be immediately available between sessions and does not guarantee that an email, text message, voicemail, or portal message will be reviewed within a specific period.

If you are experiencing an immediate threat, medical emergency, or danger to yourself or another person, call 911 or contact local emergency services.

If you are in the United States and experiencing suicidal thoughts or an emotional crisis, call or text the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline at 988.

Do not use the Website, coaching portal, email, text messaging, or social media to request emergency assistance.

10. Client Responsibility

The client is responsible for:

• Her own choices and actions
• Determining whether coaching is appropriate
• Communicating honestly about her goals and concerns
• Asking questions when something is unclear
• Maintaining appropriate professional medical or mental-health care
• Evaluating suggestions before acting on them
• Completing agreed assignments when she chooses
• Communicating scheduling changes
• Following the signed coaching agreement
• Seeking specialized professional support when needed

Tatiana Madden may provide perspective, questions, education, and accountability, but the client retains authority over her life.

11. No Guarantee of Results

Coaching outcomes vary.

Tatiana Madden does not guarantee:

• A particular personal transformation
• Improved health or resolution of symptoms
• A specific relationship outcome
• Increased income or career advancement
• Elimination of emotional distress
• A particular Sovereignty Assessment score
• Acceptance into a coaching program
• Completion of every stated goal
• Permanent behavioral change

Results depend on factors including the client’s participation, choices, consistency, circumstances, health, support systems, and willingness to take action.

Payment for coaching purchases access to the agreed service—not a guaranteed result.

12. Assessments and Coaching Applications

The Sovereignty Assessment, intake forms, and coaching applications are educational and screening tools.

They are not:

• Medical tests
• Mental-health evaluations
• Diagnostic instruments
• Personality diagnoses
• Professional fitness determinations
• Guarantees of coaching acceptance or success

Responses may help identify areas for discussion, but they do not represent a complete evaluation of a person’s health, psychology, relationships, or circumstances.

13. Establishment of a Coaching Relationship

Visiting the Website, reading coaching information, submitting a contact form, or completing an assessment does not establish a private coaching relationship.

A continuing coaching relationship begins only after any required:

• Application or intake process
• Sovereignty Clarity Session
• Acceptance into the program
• Signed coaching agreement
• Initial payment
• Scheduling confirmation

Private coaching is subject to availability and may be declined when the requested support is outside Tatiana Madden’s scope or the relationship does not appear to be an appropriate fit.

14. Confidentiality

Tatiana Madden will make reasonable efforts to protect private coaching communications.

However, coaching confidentiality is not the same as legally privileged communication with a licensed therapist, physician, or attorney.

Unless otherwise required or permitted by law, coaching information will not be intentionally disclosed to an outside party without the client’s authorization, except when disclosure is reasonably necessary to:

• Comply with a law, subpoena, court order, or legal process
• Respond to an immediate or serious safety concern
• Prevent reasonably suspected harm
• Report suspected abuse when a legal reporting duty applies
• Obtain confidential legal or professional consultation
• Process payments, scheduling, or technology services
• Enforce a coaching agreement
• Protect Tatiana Madden’s legal rights

Service providers used for scheduling, payment processing, forms, databases, email, video sessions, or client portals may process limited information as described in the Privacy Policy.

15. HIPAA Notice

Tatiana Madden’s coaching business is not being presented as a HIPAA-covered healthcare practice.

Information shared through coaching forms, assessments, email, text messages, scheduling platforms, or coaching sessions may not qualify as protected health information under HIPAA.

Clients should avoid sending unnecessary medical records or highly sensitive health information through ordinary email or text messaging.

Our handling of personal information is described in the Website Privacy Policy and applicable coaching agreement.

16. Communications Between Sessions

Access to private coaching does not necessarily include unlimited communication between sessions.

The availability, purpose, response time, and boundaries for email, text, telephone, or portal communication will be stated in the applicable coaching offer or signed agreement.

Between-session communication must not be used for:

• Emergencies
• Crisis intervention
• Medical questions requiring professional care
• Urgent mental-health support
• Continuous or on-demand coaching

17. Scheduling, Cancellations, and Refunds

Scheduling, rescheduling, late arrival, missed sessions, cancellation, and refund requirements are governed by:

• The Cancellation and Refund Policy
• The applicable checkout terms
• The client’s signed coaching agreement

The Sovereignty Clarity Session is scheduled for 30 minutes.

Clients are responsible for reviewing the applicable policy before purchasing or scheduling a session.

18. Testimonials

Coaching testimonials reflect individual experiences and do not guarantee that another client will obtain the same result.

A testimonial does not establish that the client’s experience is typical for every participant.

Personally identifiable coaching information will not be intentionally used publicly without permission.

19. Educational Materials and Intellectual Property

Coaching materials, exercises, assessments, workbooks, frameworks, recordings, videos, and other resources are provided for the client’s personal use.

They may not be copied, recorded, shared, resold, taught, published, distributed, uploaded, used to develop a competing service, or used to train an artificial-intelligence system without prior written permission.

Purchasing coaching does not transfer ownership of Tatiana Madden’s intellectual property.

20. Recordings

Coaching sessions may not be recorded by either party without advance disclosure and mutual written consent.

If a recording is authorized, the purpose, permitted use, storage, access, and deletion expectations should be agreed upon before recording begins.

21. Right to Decline or Discontinue Coaching

Tatiana Madden may decline, pause, refer, or discontinue coaching when:

• The client’s needs are outside the scope of coaching
• Licensed medical or mental-health treatment appears more appropriate
• Continuing the relationship may be unsafe or harmful
• Boundaries are repeatedly violated
• Payments are not made as agreed
• The client engages in threatening, abusive, fraudulent, or unlawful conduct
• The coaching relationship is no longer productive or appropriate

Any financial obligations or refunds will be determined under the signed coaching agreement and Cancellation and Refund Policy.

22. Acceptance of This Disclaimer

By scheduling or participating in a coaching service, you acknowledge that:

• You understand the nature and limitations of coaching
• Coaching is not therapy, medical treatment, or crisis intervention
• You retain responsibility for your choices and actions
• Results are not guaranteed
