The wording in this document (for your information) uses terms; the client/you/your/them/their referring to the recipient of services, where Zoefromkent/instructor/my is used it refers to Zoe Bradley who provides the services. Both parties will sign a copy of an agreement before the commencement of the first appointment.

The services to be provided by Zoefromkent to the client are meditation instruction sessions either in person, online or over the phone as agreed jointly with the client. Sessions will include meditation instruction and guidance. The session also may include addressing personal challenges, personal goals and body awareness. The client understands that this may result in the arising of unexpected and potentially challenging emotions for them.

The client understands that successful meditation instruction requires a co-active collaborative approach between client and Zoefromkent. In the relationship, Zoefromkent offers guidance and instruction, but it is the client's responsibility to do the practice.

If the client believes the instruction is not working as desired, the client will communicate this with Zoefromkent as soon as possible and the strategy will be restructured to address the client’s desired outcome. The client is very much encouraged to talk more with Zoefromkent as to receive a better understanding of what meditation is about and how to get the most out of it.

Confidentiality

All information about Zoefromkent/client relationship will remain strictly confidential except in very rare circumstances where decreed by law; ie. where the court might issue a subpoena for the file or information.

If the client wishes for Zoefromkent to speak to someone outside of our interactions, the client needs to give Zoefromkent written permission (original letter, fax or email) to do so. Exceptions to confidentiality of course relate to circumstances such as intent to seriously harm someone, child abuse, thoughts of suicide etc. Otherwise, all remaining information is kept confidential.

It is also important to note that in some situations, it is important to be aware of the use of technology in that for some clients, there is a risk in using certain media such as the internet, mobile phones and cordless phones. If the client uses these to communicate with Zoefromkent, then Zoefromkent will assume that it is appropriate to continue to do so, in interactions with the client.

Termination

The client has the option to terminate the agreement upon discussion with Zoefromkent either over email, phone call, video call, or in person. For monthly services, payment will renew unless the client notifies Zoefromkent.  If payment for a month is made there will be a 50% refund if the client chooses to cancel within 24 hours of payment.

Our signatures on this agreement indicate full understanding of the agreement with the information outlined above.
