Consent:
The United States of America currently has no licensing policy in regard to Sound or Energy Healing, Sound Practioners are not licensed Medical Doctors or therapists.
The purpose of our events is simply to provide a safe space for participants to experience healing through natural processes. We consider the use of sound, energy, herbs, essential oils, crystals and any other natural healing modality as a way to encourage the body to get back to optimal functioning and everyone reacts to these methods individually.
By signing you agree to make choices as to what you do with the educational material offered and are solely responsible for any decisions and actions. It is recommended to seek out the advice of a licensed health care professional whenever you feel it is necessary in regards to your own personal health, especially with serious conditions.
Clients need to consult with their physician and get approval to attend healing sessions if they have metal in their bodies, suffered concussions, have a pacemaker, or use an insulin pump. If in doubt, consult your physician before our time together.
I UNDERSTAND THAT:
· Any suggestion made will be to assist my body’s natural ability to achieve a balanced state, to the extent that my body or my highest knowing will allow.
· The goal of a session will be identified as part of the initial process and that I will have input as well as give intent and permission for it.
· These sessions are not meant to replace treatment by established medical practices, and can complement them.
· There are no guarantees as to the results of treatment.
· Kelly Tobin of Authentically U and Kimberly Friedman of Meditation Mama are not licensed physicians and will neither diagnose nor prescribe any condition nor do they make any specific claims regarding results from the sessions that I receive.
I AGREE TO:
· Raise any questions or concerns about anything I do not understand.
· Consider any suggestions that the practitioner may raise concerning referrals to other health care practitioners, homework, or my desired focus/introspection.
· Take full responsibility for my own health care.
· Give consent to conduct a session to balance my energy system. I acknowledge that this could involve touch and I can request otherwise.
WHAT TO EXPECT:
During a group sound journey participants are spread out on individual mats. Pracitioners will use a variety of intstruments including crystal singing bowls, tuning forks, drums, crystal pyramids, chimes, bells, etc.
We may work on your body or above your body, so please let us know if there are any areas that you do not want work done. If you do not wish to be touched please let us know. Our work is intuitive so we feel the energy and work where the energy is stagnant, deficient, stuck or unbalanced. You may feel many different results such as heat or cold, shivers, nausea, headache, relaxation, release, relief, ect. You may also feel nothing at all. Any reactions can happen immediately or even months later. No reaction is positive or negative, it purely is. It may mean something to you right away or it could be a mystery for a while. Both are normal. We find that energy medicine has a cumulative effect, so when you treat yourself to regular sessions, better health and well-being are natural outcomes. At the end, we will check in about anything that came up for you during the session.
I have read the above statements and I understand and agree with them.
I understand that this experience is not to diagnose illness, disease, or mental disorder.
It has been made clear that my session is not a substitute for medical examination or diagnosis and that it is recommended that I see a medical doctor for any physical or mental ailment.
I agree that Kelly Tobin and Kim Friedman cannot be held liable for any problems that might arise that I think could be attributed to the energy healing season. I release Kelly Tobin and Kimberly Friedman from any and all claims of malpractice, non-disclosure, or lack of informed consent.
