Terms & Conditions for COACHING
Client & Coach Agreement
To develop a coaching relationship that will help you to explore, define and reach your goals, you (“the Client”) agree to work with Dr. Kristin Lee Amundson-Speer (dr.klas), Pet Guided Insight Coach, of Pet Guided Insight LLC (the “Coach”). In evidence of your dedication, you agree to make an initial commitment of three sessions (One 90 minute Discovery Session + Two 50 minute Individual Sessions). The Coach will conduct coaching sessions via Zoom online as designed jointly with me.
Your Responsibilities
As a client, you understand and agree that you are fully responsible for your physical, mental and emotional well being during your coaching calls, including your choices and decisions. You are aware that you can choose to discontinue coaching at any time.
You understand that coaching is a comprehensive process that may involve all areas of your life, including work, finances, health, relationships, education and recreation. You acknowledge that deciding how to handle these issues, incorporate coaching into those areas, and implementing your choices is exclusively your responsibility.
You understand that coaching does not involve the diagnosis or treatment of mental disorders as defined by the American Psychiatric Association. You understand that coaching is not a substitute for counseling, psychotherapy, psychoanalysis, mental health care or substance abuse treatment and you will not use it in place of any form of diagnosis, treatment or therapy.
If you are currently in therapy or otherwise under the care of a mental health professional, you warrant that you have consulted with the mental health care provider regarding the advisability of working with a coach and that this person is aware of your decision to proceed with the coaching relationship.
You understand that certain topics may be anonymously and hypothetically shared with other coaching professionals for training or consultation purposes.
You understand that coaching is not to be used as a substitute for professional advice by legal, medical, financial, business, spiritual or other qualified professionals. You will seek independent professional guidance for legal, medical, financial, business, spiritual or other matters. You understand that all decisions in these areas are exclusively yours and you acknowledge that your decisions and your actions regarding them are your sole responsibility.
Confidentiality & Communication
I as the Coach promise that all information you provide will be kept strictly confidential unless you state otherwise, in writing, except as required by law. Throughout the working relationship, I will engage in direct and personal conversations. You can count on me to be honest and direct in asking questions and making requests. You as the Client, agree to be an active participant in exploring your own motivations. You will be forthcoming with requests and share in designing strategies that support you. You acknowledge that you have the ability to make and keep the coaching relationship potent. You also understand that, while both you and I agree to work diligently toward your coaching goals, I cannot guarantee any particular results. If you believe there are ways that your coaching relationship can be more effective, you must communicate this to me and take action to return the power to the coaching relationship.
Payment
The coaching process begins with an initial Discovery Session, which typically lasts one to two hours. The one-time fee for the initial Discovery Meeting is $222 payable in advance upon scheduling. Thereafter, the client has the option of purchasing individual sessions at $111 per session.
Payment (in U.S. funds) is due in advance. The final session relating to this contract, held at the conclusion of our jointly determined , is a completion session in which we will review the progress you have made and the accomplishments you have achieved through our coaching relationship, as well as the growth and learning you have gained.
Cancellation & Relationship Termination
This coaching agreement is a per session agreement with payment due at the time of scheduling each session. You agree to respect the time and energy required to make this relationship a success and you agree to provide 72 hours notice to cancel any session or otherwise be billed. You understand that missed sessions not properly cancelled cannot be rescheduled. You and I agree to provide one another with a 3-day notice to cancel future services. If for any reason I believes that you would be better served by a resource other than Pet Guided Insight Coaching, I reserve the right to refer you elsewhere and/or cancel the relationship immediately. In either case, I will provide you with a refund of fees previously collected for any unused portion of contracted service. This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Maine without regard to its conflict of laws provisions, and the exclusive venue for disputes arising out of or related to this Agreement shall be in Waldo County.
Waiver of Liability

Liability Disclaimer: No Professional Advice

Neither the Coach nor their assigns, sponsors, speakers, agents, managers, partners, contractors or any of their affiliates will be liable for any direct, indirect, consequential, special, exemplary, or other damages to the Client or the Client’s business, including economic loss, that may result from participation in the Session or from the use of, or the inability to use, the materials, information, or strategies communicated through the Session or any products or services provided pursuant to the Session, even if advised of the possibility of such damages. Under no circumstances, including but not limited to negligence, will the Coach be liable for any special or consequential damages that result from Client’s involvement in the Session. To be clear: You, the Client, alone are responsible and accountable for your decisions, actions and results in life, and by your participation in the Session, you agree not to attempt to hold us, the Coach, liable for any decisions, actions or results that you make or experience in business or in life due to your participation in this Session at any time, under any circumstance.
