At Her Wellness Pause, my mission is to help women improve their health, build strength, develop sustainable habits, and confidently pursue their fitness and wellness goals through personalized, science-based coaching.
The following disclaimer explains the scope of the coaching services provided and the responsibilities associated with participating in online health, nutrition, fitness, and endurance programs.
1. General Health & Wellness Information
All information and services provided through Her Wellness Pause, including website content, blog articles, educational materials, online consultations, coaching programs, and digital communications, are intended for general educational, informational, and wellness purposes.
Although my coaching approach is based on established exercise science, nutrition principles, and evidence-based behavior-change strategies, the information provided should not be considered medical advice.
Her Wellness Pause does not provide medical diagnosis, medical treatment, psychotherapy, physical therapy, or medical nutrition therapy.
Coaching services are not a substitute for professional medical care or individualized advice from a licensed healthcare provider.
2. Medical Consultation & Health Considerations
Before beginning a new exercise program, making significant changes to your physical activity, or implementing substantial dietary changes, you should consult an appropriately qualified healthcare professional when your health history, medical conditions, symptoms, medications, or other circumstances warrant individualized medical guidance.
Certain medical conditions, injuries, pregnancy-related considerations, and other health circumstances may require additional evaluation, medical clearance, or modifications to exercise and nutrition recommendations.
Clients are responsible for providing accurate and relevant health information and communicating any changes that may affect their ability to participate safely.
Her Wellness Pause reserves the right to recommend medical clearance, request appropriate professional guidance, modify a coaching program, or decline services when a client's needs fall outside the scope of coaching.
3. Exercise & Physical Activity Disclaimer
All forms of physical activity involve some degree of risk.
Strength training, cardiovascular exercise, running, hiking, backpacking, and other fitness activities may involve risks including muscle soreness, strains, falls, overuse injuries, and other physical complications.
While training programs are designed using appropriate exercise selection, gradual progression, recovery considerations, and individualized modifications, no program can eliminate all risks or guarantee the prevention of injury.
Clients are encouraged to exercise within their abilities, use equipment appropriately, follow applicable safety precautions, and communicate pain, unusual symptoms, or difficulty completing prescribed activities.
If you experience chest pain, fainting, severe shortness of breath, or other potentially serious symptoms, stop exercising and seek immediate medical assistance.
4. Nutrition & Weight Management Disclaimer
Nutrition coaching provided by Her Wellness Pause focuses on general nutrition education, healthy eating habits, sports nutrition, and practical strategies to support fitness, wellness, and weight management goals.
Depending on the coaching program, guidance may include calorie and macronutrient recommendations, nutrition tracking, meal planning strategies, hydration, and fueling for physical activity.
Nutrition recommendations are educational and are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or manage medical conditions.
Her Wellness Pause does not prescribe therapeutic diets or provide medical nutrition therapy. Clients who require condition-specific nutrition treatment should consult a registered dietitian or another appropriately licensed healthcare professional.
Weight management outcomes vary between individuals, and no specific amount or rate of weight loss is guaranteed.
5. Running, Hiking & Backpacking Disclaimer
Endurance and outdoor adventure coaching may include running programs, hiking preparation, strength and conditioning, cardiovascular training, loaded-pack preparation, and endurance nutrition guidance.
Outdoor activities carry additional risks associated with weather conditions, terrain, elevation, environmental exposure, fatigue, equipment, navigation, and access to emergency assistance.
Clients are responsible for making appropriate decisions regarding weather, trail conditions, equipment, route selection, and personal safety during independent outdoor activities.
Training plans are intended to improve physical preparedness but do not guarantee successful completion of an event or protection from injuries, accidents, or environmental hazards.
6. Individual Results & Expectations
Every individual responds differently to changes in nutrition, exercise, and lifestyle habits.
Progress depends on factors including health history, genetics, fitness experience, training consistency, nutrition, recovery, sleep, stress, and other personal circumstances.
Her Wellness Pause does not guarantee specific weight loss, muscle gain, fitness improvements, health outcomes, athletic performance, or event completion.
Coaching is intended to provide individualized guidance, education, structure, and accountability while encouraging realistic expectations and sustainable progress.
7. Online Coaching Limitations
All coaching services are delivered remotely.
Because coaching is provided virtually, I am not physically present to supervise exercise technique, monitor environmental conditions, provide hands-on assistance, or respond directly to medical emergencies.
Clients are responsible for selecting suitable exercise environments, using appropriate equipment, and following relevant safety precautions.
If an exercise causes pain or concerning symptoms, clients should stop the activity and seek appropriate professional guidance when needed.
In-app messaging and virtual coaching services are not emergency communication systems and should not be used for urgent medical concerns.
8. Professional Scope of Practice
Her Wellness Pause provides coaching services within the professional scope of the education, training, and certifications held by the coach and subject to applicable laws and regulations.
These services may include health and wellness coaching, general nutrition education, fitness programming, behavior-change support, and endurance training.
Professional certifications do not constitute a license to practice medicine, diagnose medical conditions, prescribe medications, or provide services reserved for licensed healthcare professionals.
When a client's needs fall outside the appropriate scope of coaching, referral to a qualified healthcare professional may be recommended.
9. Personal Responsibility & Informed Participation
Participation in Her Wellness Pause coaching programs is voluntary.
Clients are encouraged to ask questions, communicate concerns, and make informed decisions about their health and physical activity.
By participating in a coaching program, clients acknowledge that physical activity and lifestyle changes involve individual considerations and potential risks.
Clients remain responsible for decisions regarding their participation, exercise environment, use of equipment, and whether to seek medical guidance.
Nothing in this disclaimer excludes or limits liability or consumer rights where doing so would be prohibited by applicable law.
10. Website & Educational Content
Articles, recipes, social media posts, podcast episodes, and other educational content published by Her Wellness Pause are intended to provide general health, nutrition, fitness, and wellness information.
This content is not intended to replace individualized professional advice.
Readers and listeners should consider their personal circumstances and consult appropriate healthcare professionals when necessary.
