Coaching Terms & Disclaimer
Effective October 1, 2026
Rooted Wellness provides educational and supportive wellness coaching. Coaching is not medical care, diagnosis, treatment, mental-health treatment, medical nutrition therapy, or emergency care.
1. Nature and scope of coaching
Rooted Wellness, a division of MD Rooted & Still, LLC, provides general wellness education, goal-setting, accountability, habit and routine support, and collaborative planning. Coaching may include general discussion of nourishment, movement, sleep, stress, family or caregiver wellness, wellness information, supplements for educational purposes, and organization of client-provided information.
Coaching does not create a physician, nurse practitioner, physician assistant, registered dietitian, therapist, pharmacist, or other licensed healthcare-provider relationship. Rooted Wellness does not diagnose medical or mental-health conditions, prescribe or modify medication, prescribe medical treatment, or provide individualized medical nutrition therapy.
2. Your healthcare decisions
You remain responsible for your own healthcare decisions. You should seek an appropriately licensed professional for diagnosis, treatment, medication management, persistent or worsening symptoms, or care outside the scope of general wellness coaching. You may accept, decline, or modify coaching suggestions at any time.
3. Emergencies and crisis care
Rooted Wellness is not an emergency or crisis service. For a medical or safety emergency, call 911 or your local emergency service. In the United States, people experiencing an immediate mental-health or suicide crisis may call or text 988.
4. Labs, records, medications, and supplements
You may bring existing laboratory reports, wellness records, and medication or supplement lists to help organize information and prepare questions for your licensed providers. Rooted Wellness does not independently diagnose conditions from laboratory values or replace clinical interpretation. Any future lab-facilitation service is separate from this coaching session and may have additional terms, fees, and licensed-provider requirements.
5. Results and guarantees
Wellness outcomes vary. Rooted Wellness does not guarantee weight change, symptom improvement, laboratory changes, disease prevention, pregnancy or postpartum outcomes, mental-health outcomes, or any other specific result.
6. Session and payment
A standard Whole-Person Wellness Coaching Session is approximately 60 minutes and costs $55 unless a different price or promotion is shown at checkout. Sessions are prepaid. Your intake form should be completed before your scheduled appointment so coaching time can focus on your goals.
7. Scheduling, rescheduling, and missed sessions
Scheduling and rescheduling instructions will be provided with your booking information. Any cancellation, rescheduling, refund, or missed-session terms displayed during booking or in your appointment confirmation are incorporated into these terms. If Rooted Wellness cancels a paid session and the parties cannot agree on a replacement time, the session payment will be refunded.
8. Client information and participation
You agree to provide information that is accurate to the best of your knowledge and to tell your coach when a recommendation or topic does not feel appropriate for you. Coaching works best as a collaborative process; you remain responsible for deciding what actions to take.
9. Privacy and communications
Rooted Wellness will use reasonable measures to protect information you provide. Wellness coaching is not automatically subject to the same confidentiality rules that apply to every licensed healthcare relationship. Information may be disclosed when required or permitted by law or when necessary to address an emergency or serious safety concern. Routine messages are for scheduling, clarification, and ordinary coaching communication and are not monitored as an emergency service. See the Privacy Policy for additional information.
10. Acknowledgment
By purchasing or participating in a Rooted Wellness coaching session, you acknowledge that you have read and agree to these terms, understand the nonmedical scope of the service, and understand that coaching does not replace appropriate licensed or emergency care.
Questions about these terms may be directed through the contact method provided with your booking or on MD Rooted & Still communications.
