Informed Consent for Yoga Therapy

Informed Consent outlines in writing the client and therapist's plan and guidelines for treatment. Please read the following carefully and be sure to ask any questions/concerns that you may have regarding the contents of this document.

I am a certified yoga therapist in private practice, working with adults and adolescents with a special interest in working with individuals dealing with emotional health challenges and stress. My approach integrates yoga practices of mindfulness, breathing exercises, meditation, yoga postures, somatic movements, yoga education, and therapeutic touch.

ONLINE SERVICES We agree to use the Zoom platform for our virtual therapy sessions for convenience and/or flexibility of scheduling. We will both be connected to an electronic device (laptop, desktop, tablet, or smartphone) during the session. We need a back-up plan (e.g., phone number where you can be reached) to restart the session or to reschedule it, in the event of technical problems.

CANCELLATION POLICY AND FEES Payment for yoga therapy services is required at the end of each session. Twenty four hour business days’ notice is required to cancel an appointment. Failure to provide this, outside an unforeseen illness, family emergency, or any other circumstance beyond your control, will result in being billed for half the session fee.

CONFIDENTIALITY You have the right to confidentiality as a yoga therapy client. Information may only be released with written permission except when there are concerns about danger to yourself or others, if required by court orders, or for your insurance provider. A record is kept of services provided to you. All records are confidential and access to them will be granted to you if desired.
