At Home/In-Person Policy

Effective Date: 6/30/2023

Thank you for choosing Simple Soul, LLC for your life coaching journey. While virtual sessions are preferred for flexibility and convenience, we understand that some clients may prefer in-person sessions. This policy outlines the guidelines and expectations for in-person sessions held at your home or in a public setting to ensure a safe, comfortable, and productive experience.

1. Location and Setting

1.1 Session Location: In-person sessions can be conducted at your home or in a mutually agreed-upon public location (such as a quiet café, park, or library) that is comfortable, private enough for confidential conversation, and properly lit.

1.2 Safety Considerations: The session environment should be safe and free from hazards. Please ensure pets are secured, and minimize interruptions to allow for a focused session.

1.3 Restroom Availability: For in-home sessions, please ensure a restroom is available for use. In public settings, choose locations with accessible restroom facilities.

1.4 Room Location: For in-home sessions, the designated room should ideally be near the entrance for easy access and minimal disruptions.

2. Session Duration

2.1 Maximum Duration: Each in-person session will be a maximum of 90 minutes, allowing for a productive session while respecting both your time and the coach’s schedule.

2.2 Breaks: If a brief break is needed during longer sessions, please communicate this to the coach.

3. Health and Safety Protocols

3.1 Wellness Check: Notify the coach in advance if you or anyone in the household is unwell or experiencing symptoms of illness (e.g., fever, cough, sore throat). Sessions will be rescheduled in such cases to maintain health and safety.

3.2 Hygiene Practices: The session space should be clean and tidy. For public settings, choose a location that follows local health guidelines.

4. Privacy and Confidentiality

4.1 Confidential Space: Sessions should take place in a private area where conversations cannot be overheard. If at home, a room near the entrance can help maintain both privacy and ease of access.

4.2 Privacy: No individuals should be present during the session unless previously agreed upon by both parties.

5. Safety and Boundaries

5.1 Personal Boundaries: Respect for personal space and boundaries is essential. Any form of inappropriate behavior will result in the immediate termination of the session and may lead to a discontinuation of services.

5.2 Emergency Protocol: Ensure an emergency contact is available and inform the coach of any potential risks in the environment.

5.3 Lighting and Visibility: The session area should be well-lit. For evening sessions, choose a secure, well-illuminated location.

5.4 Right to Discontinue: Either the coach or the client reserves the right to discontinue the session at any time if they feel uncomfortable or unsafe.

6. Scheduling and Cancellations

6.1 Session Scheduling: All sessions, whether virtual or in-person, must be scheduled in advance and are subject to availability. Confirm the location at least 24 hours prior to the session.

6.2 Cancellation Policy: Please provide a minimum of 24 hours’ notice if you need to cancel or reschedule a session. Cancellations made without sufficient notice may incur a cancellation fee.
