Wellness Mentoring & Coaching: Terms of Participation

1. Nature of Services

Carole Fontaine is a certified Mindfulness & Empowerment Life Coach, Shakti Dance® Yoga Teacher, Reiki Master Teacher, and NAMI Mental Health First Aider. All services offered through Inspired Life by Carole — including Soul Mentoring, Meditative Writing, wellness coaching, and energy healing — are coaching and wellness services. They are not medical, psychological, psychiatric, or clinical mental health services.

Coaching and wellness mentoring are not a substitute for, and should not replace, care from a licensed physician, therapist, psychologist, psychiatrist, or other qualified healthcare provider. If you are currently working with a healthcare professional, please continue that relationship and consult your provider before beginning any new wellness practice.

2. Health Conditions & Cancer Recovery

Sessions may explore themes of healing, recovery, and post-illness identity, including cancer survivorship. These conversations are offered from a place of lived experience and compassionate coaching, not medical expertise. Nothing shared in sessions constitutes medical advice, treatment recommendations, or clinical guidance. You are responsible for all decisions regarding your own health and medical care.

3. Energy Healing & Reiki

Reiki and other energy healing practices offered through Inspired Life by Carole are complementary wellness practices. They are not scientifically proven medical treatments and are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease or condition. Energy healing is offered as a supportive practice alongside, never in place of, conventional medical care.

4. Mental Health

Carole holds certification as a NAMI Mental Health First Aider. This is a first-aid credential, not a clinical license. She is not a licensed mental health professional and does not provide therapy, counseling, psychotherapy, or clinical mental health treatment. If you are experiencing a mental health crisis, please contact a licensed mental health professional, call 988 (Suicide & Crisis Lifeline), or go to your nearest emergency room.

5. Confidentiality

All information shared in sessions is held in strict confidence. Exceptions apply where required by law, including situations involving imminent risk of harm to yourself or others, or where disclosure is required by a court order.

6. Voluntary Participation & Release

By booking a session or program, you confirm that your participation is entirely voluntary. You acknowledge that results from coaching and wellness mentoring are not guaranteed, as they depend significantly on your own engagement, openness, and follow-through. You agree to release Carole D. Fontaine and Inspired Creations LLC from any and all claims arising from your participation in mentoring, coaching, or wellness sessions, to the fullest extent permitted by law in the State of Maine.

7. Agreement

Booking a session or program constitutes your agreement to these terms. If you have questions before booking, please reach out through the contact form at inspiredlifebycarole.com or at: inspiredlifebyCarole@gmail.com
