​

As a client of Elle Fox you are asked to review the following consent and discretion agreement. These statements must be agreed upon prior to the initiation of services.

​

TOUCH CONSENT

​

As a client and/or provider of somatic healing with bodywork, energy healing, and intuitive arts… (And as a conscious, breathing human…)

​

• I take full responsibility for my body and my actions towards other people. I will not place intentional harm onto myself or another person.

• I have the right to feel safe and to say NO when it feels right to do so. My 'no' is welcome here.

• I have the right to say YES when it feels right to do so. I will give permission on how I am to be touched.

• I have the right to change my YES to a NO. I can change my mind. Consent is fluid and can change.

• I will ask permission to touch another person and respect their boundaries. I will not touch before asking or without being given permission.

• I will provide clear boundaries on where and how I desire to be touched.

 

DISCRETION

 

As a provider, Elle agrees to the following:

 

• I will not share client’s private information.

• I will not discuss session details with anyone without written permission from the client. I will not falsify testimonials based on your experiences. You have full ownership of your testimonial, if you have one. 

• I will not share session notes and will use best practices to keep them private. I may keep notes on sessions for the following purposes: to remember who you are, your requests, your goals, previously discussed likes, don’t likes [face cradle, hot stones, etc.], and any other information that is helpful as we progress. 

• I will not cause harm to your personal reputation or go public with what occurs in our private sessions beyond what is necessary to protect my bodily rights.

• I will not pursue a personal relationship outside of professional boundaries.

 

As a client, you agree to the following statements:

 

• I will not share or post my provider’s private information anywhere on the internet. *I understand I am welcome to leave a review on Google without permission.

• I will not post my provider’s information on any website, including review sites*, advertising sites, or other website without her direct permission in writing.

• I will not infringe on my provider’s basic copyright protection (posting pictures without permission, using direct language from provider’s personal social media accounts or advertisements, etc.)

• I will not pursue a personal relationship with my provider outside of the agreed upon provider/client professional boundaries.

• I understand my rights as a client of Alternative Medicine under State of MN Statute

• If I see my provider listed on a site that does not seem to align with her scope of practice, I will notify my provider. 

• I understand that my name, phone number, email address, and/or other information may be requested and used to verify who I am. I agree to provide all information requested for my provider to appropriately practice highest safety standards.
