This Agreement is entered into by and between Jess Elcan of Jess Ellen Astrology (Holistic Certified Coach), and (Client) whereby Coach agrees to provide Coaching Services for Client focusing on his/her identified topics and goals.
Description of Coaching: Coaching is an equal partnership between the Coach and the Client in a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires the client to maximize his or her potential. It is designed to facilitate the development of goals and a process to carry out a strategy/plan for achieving those goals.

1) Coach-Client Relationship:
A. Coach agrees to maintain the ethics and standards of behavior established by the International Coaching Federation “(ICF)”. www.coachingfederation.org/ethics.

B. The client is responsible for creating and implementing his/her own physical, mental, and emotional well-being, decisions, choices, actions, and results that arise from the coaching relationship and coaching calls.

C. The client understands coaching is not therapy. Nor does coaching prevent, cure, or treat any mental disorder or medical disease. The client acknowledges that coaching is not to be used as a substitute for counseling, psychotherapy, mental health care, or other professional advice by legal, medical, or related professionals. The client is responsible for seeking out such independent professional guidance as needed.

D. Client further acknowledges that he/she may terminate or discontinue the coaching relationship at any time.

E. The Client understands that to enhance the coaching relationship, the Client agrees to communicate honestly, be open to feedback and assistance, and create the time and energy to participate fully in the experience.
2) Services: The coach and client agree to engage in either a 10-week Coaching Program through 5 virtual coaching sessions or a 20 week coaching program through 10 virtual sessions. In addition to the 5 or 10 coaching sessions, the coach will also provide a free astrology reading (60 minutes) and an additional 60-minute “kick-off” call at the start of coaching to level set on goals & logistics. The coach will also be available to the client via messenger coaching in between scheduled sessions. The coach is available for and will respond to messenger coaching Monday through Friday during the hours of 9am - 5pm PST. The client is absolutely encouraged to send messages to the coach outside of the defined window during which the client can expect responses from the coach.
3) Schedule & Fees: This coaching agreement is valid upon signatures of this contract and first payment made. Subsequent payments will be charged automatically to the clients card.
4) Confidentiality: The coaching relationship and information that the Client shares with the Coach is bound by the principles of confidentiality outlined in the ICF Code of Ethics. However, please be aware that the Coach-Client relationship is not considered a legally confidential relationship (like the medical and legal professions), and thus communications are not subject to the protection of any legally recognized privilege. The Client also acknowledges his or her obligation to raise any confidentiality questions or concerns with the Coach.

5) Termination: The Client or the Coach may terminate this Agreement at any time with a minimum of 1 week's written notice. Client agrees to compensate the Coach for all coaching services rendered through and including the effective date of termination of the coaching relationship. If further payments have been yet to be made - those will be cancelled in lieu of the agreement being terminated. Existing payments will not be refunded per industry standards and exchange of services already completed.
6) Limited Liability & Governing Law: The Coach makes no guarantees or warranties of any kind concerning the results of coaching services agreed upon. The Coach shall not be liable to the Client for any indirect, consequential, or special damages. Upon dispute, this agreement shall be governed and construed by the laws of the State of Oregon.
7) Entire Agreement: This document reflects the entire agreement between the Coach and the Client, and reflects a complete understanding of the parties concerning the subject matter. Should an amendment be needed, the signatures of both coach and client are required.
8) Release of Information: The Coach engages in training and continuing education pursuing and/or maintaining ICF (International Coach Federation) Credentials. That process requires the first name, last initial, and email address of all Clients for possible verification by the ICF. It is highly unlikely that the ICF will collect this information from the coach or contact the client to verify that coaching occurred. By signing this agreement, you agree to have only your name, email address, and start and end dates of coaching shared with ICF staff members for the sole and necessary purpose of verifying the coaching relationship, no personal notes will be shared.
