Not Medical, Mental Health, or Religious Advice.  You understand that as an Acupuncturist and Coach, the information provided in or through our Website, Programs, Products and Services is not intended to take the place of the medical advice, diagnosis or treatment that can be provided by your own Medical Provider (including doctor/physician, nurse, physician’s assistant, or any other health professional), Mental Health Provider (including psychiatrist, psychologist, therapist, counselor, or social worker), registered dietitian or licensed nutritionist, or member of the clergy.  I am not providing nutritional therapy services or attempting to medically diagnose, treat, prevent or cure in any manner whatsoever any physical ailment, or any mental or emotional issue, disease or condition. You agree and acknowledge that we are not providing medical advice that can be provided by your doctor, mental health advice that can be provided by a therapist, or religious advice that can be provided by a member of the clergy in any way.

Not Holding Self Out.  In this capacity as an Acupuncturist and Coach, I am not holding myself out to be a Medical Provider (including doctor/physician, nurse, physician’s assistant or any other health professional), Mental Health Provider (including psychiatrist, psychologist, therapist, counselor, or social worker), registered dietician or licensed nutritionist, or member of the clergy.  Rather, I serve as an acupuncturist, coach, mentor and guide who helps you reach your own health and lifestyle goals through acupressure and coaching by giving you tools to implement incremental, positive, healthy, sustainable lifestyle changes.
