The Self-Worth Lounge Policies and Liabilities 

Chanel Vysohlid is an R.H.N, Clinical Somatic Practitioner, Meditation and breathwork facilitator, Certified Mind-Body Nutrition and Psychology Coach, Energy Healer and E-RYT 200. She is not a psychologist and therefore does not offer psychotherapeutic interventions such as clinical diagnoses and evaluations, talk therapy, prognoses, or related treatment plans. Furthermore, although she may offer referrals to qualified psychotherapeutic and/or medical practitioners, the client is solely responsible for consulting such practitioners for any psychological or physical ailments they may have.

YOUR PERSONAL PROCESS

The Self-Worth Lounge offers somatic therapy and coaching  that is a process-oriented. This means that the goal in the client-practitioner relationship is to identify and work in harmony with the client’s own unique personal process, without attachment to a particular outcome and within the client’s range of tolerance. This process relies primarily on the client’s felt sense of what is true in addition to the practitioner's professional training and intuition.

CONFIDENTIALITY

The client-practitioner relationship is treated with the same confidentiality as in any other field of health care. Client notes can be shared with designated individuals and organizations only with the client’s express written permission. In addition, all aspects of conversation are protected by confidentiality except where indicated by law (i.e., if the client expresses desire to and/or has already participated in harm, physical, sexual or otherwise, to themself and/or others that constitutes a crime).

SESSION TERMINATION

The client may terminate a session at any time for any reason. In the event that the client terminates a session, the client is still financially responsible for the full amount of the session or session(s) left on their bundle package.

REGARDING EMOTIONAL EXPERIENCE

At times a client may experience a surge or release of emotion during a session (e.g., crying, laughter, sadness, anger, muscle twitching, appearance of memories or images, etc.). This is normal and even desirable. The client and practitioner work together so that the experience stays within the client’s window of tolerance and are supportive of the client’s particular purposes for the session.

SESSION LENGTH AND TIME BOUNDARIES

Somatic sessions are scheduled for 60–90 minutes. The Practitioner is responsible for tracking time, and the Client agrees to respect the agreed-upon session duration.

To support clear and consistent time boundaries, the Practitioner will indicate when the session is nearing completion in order to begin a grounded and supported closing. If the session continues beyond the scheduled time, additional time will be billed accordingly. By choosing to continue past the agreed end time, the Client acknowledges and accepts responsibility for any additional charges.

Each session includes time at the beginning to discuss the Client’s intentions, as well as time at the end to support integration, grounding, and a gentle transition out of the session (whether in person or online).

While the Practitioner aims to create a supportive and non-abrupt closing, the Client is encouraged to notice any feelings of urgency, pressure, or a sense that there is “not enough time,” or that more needs to be said or processed. These experiences may reflect underlying nervous system patterns, such as urgency, instability, or a lack of felt safety.

If such patterns arise, the Practitioner may gently bring awareness to them and incorporate them into the therapeutic process as part of the Client’s healing and integration.

LATE START

If the Client arrives late to a scheduled session, the Practitioner will make reasonable efforts to accommodate and make up any lost time; however, this cannot be guaranteed and the session may still end at the originally scheduled time. The Client agrees to respect the scheduled start time to ensure sessions run smoothly.

If the Practitioner begins a session late, the Practitioner agrees to provide the full allotted session time.

PAYMENT POLICY

Payment for single sessions is required at the time of booking, unless a bundle package has been arranged and outlined in a separate agreement.

Payment plans may be available and will be honoured by the Practitioner at no additional cost.

Bundle packages are intended to be used monthly. Sessions not used within the month will still be deducted and charged at the agreed bundled rate.

CANCELLATION POLICY

The client agrees to provide a minimum of 24 hours’ notice to cancel or reschedule a session (this can be done through the confirmation email received at the time of booking), ensuring the practitioner does not lose potential business due to late cancellations. If a session is canceled within: 24 hours or more: There is no charge.

Less than 24 hours: The Client will be charged a $40 late cancellation fee for any changes made after the required notice period. If the Client cancels within two hours of the scheduled session or does not attend (no-show), the full session fee (100%) will be charged.

All sessions prepaid through the website are final and non-refundable.

COMMUNICATION

When purchasing a bundle package, light communication between sessions is accessible, and the practitioner will respond within 12 to 72 hours. For additional support throughout the weeks, an hourly rate of $65 may apply, depending on your individual package. Support can be held through email and WhatsApp messaging, as well as voice recordings. If there is something significant arising in the client's system, an emergency session booking is available.
