Acknowledgment Consent & Procedures

It is important to me to have transparency regarding what emotional energy work and medium readings are by explaining clearly what they are not. I am a registered and licensed occupational therapist, however, I am not a licensed counselor, and in working with me, it is important that this is understood.

No results are guaranteed. I care deeply about those I work with and will work together to find a way for others to experience relief, but it is not ethical to claim results are always guaranteed, life simply does not work that way.

Below is a list of all necessary acknowledgements, consent practices, and procedures for Medium Readings and ERT performed by Blair Marigold.

Disclaimer

By booking a reading you agree to the following terms and conditions: The readings that I provide are for guidance only. What you decide to do with the information that I give you, including any actions you take, is down to your own personal responsibility and choice. All readings and questions answered should at no time be regarded as legal, medical, financial, psychological or business fact and are subject to your own interpretation and judgment. For legal reasons we have to advise you that the readings are for entertainment purposes only. My services are not a substitute for professional services and it is advised that you should seek advice from the relevant qualified expert.

The Benefits of ERT & Medium Readings
One major benefit that may be gained from participating in ERT and Medium Readings is the resolution of the concerns brought to sessions. Other possible benefits may be a better ability to cope with marital, family, and other interpersonal relationships, and/or a greater understanding of personal goals and values.

The Risks of ERT
There are certain risks involved in ERT. You may experience a variety of negative emotions during a session as you remember and release unpleasant events, relationships, and patterns. Seeking to resolve concerns between family members, marital partners, and other persons can similarly lead to discomfort as well as relationship changes. Blair will be available to help you move though these effects during a session. In addition, in very rare cases, the release of negative patterns and energy during a session requires several additional days or weeks of processing to completely vacate the body. You could experience negative emotions during this time. Be patient and gracious with yourself and pay close attention to your self-care during this time.

Payment of Fees
All fees should be paid at the time the service is rendered unless otherwise arranged. Cash, card via Square or PayPal, personal check, or Venmo are welcome.

Public Encounter With Your Practitioner
Please, note. Your energy work practitioner (Blair) will not initiate acknowledgement or contact with clients in public places, except in cases of a prior existing relationship of some kind. Clients are welcome to initiate contact in public.

Confidentiality

I will keep client communication and information confidential and will not share client information without the client’s written consent, within the limits of the law. I will ensure every effort is made to respect a client’s right to privacy and provide an environment where personal details cannot be overhead or seen by others. This privilege shall be extended to minors, with the expressed consent of minor’s guardian.

Client self-determination

I will respect and promote the right of clients to self-determination and assist clients in their efforts to identify and clarify their goals when clients’ actions or potential actions do not pose a serious, forseeable, and imminent risk to themselves or others. I will enter client relationship acknowledging that the client already posses everything necessary to heal and grow. I will not assume my clients are dependent on my efforts and skill to produce healing on their behalf.

Cultural respect and personal bias awareness

I understand culture and its function in human behavior and society, recognizing strengths that exist in all cultures. I am aware of my personal cultural lens and of the limitations and biases they present. I commit to greater self-work to maintain awareness, openness, and respect for all cultures and religions that are important to my clients. I will educate myself about and seek to understand social diversity with respect to race, ethnicity, national origin, color, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, age, marital status, political belief, religion,
immigration status, and mental or physical ability.
