TERMS OF SERVICE

Updated: August 29, 2023

  1. Introduction

I, _______________________________, for myself or on behalf of the client named below or on behalf of my child enrolled in the Girls Healing Circles program, for whom I am legally responsible (either or both of whom may be referred to as “I,” “Me,” “Myself”, or “Client” throughout this Agreement), do hereby knowingly and willingly enter into this Terms of Service Agreement (the “Agreement”) with myHealthTorch LLC (“myHealthTorch,” “You”) for Functional Medicine Health Coaching, Bio-Tuning/Neuroacoustic Sound Therapy, Emotion Code, Meridian Balancing, the Girls Healing Circles program, and/or other general advice and information (collectively the “Services” or individually a “Service”) and also do hereby consent to the terms and conditions herein.

  1. SERVICES

The summary descriptions below of individual Services are intended to be informative but not comprehensive. I understand that these methods are unconventional and may be regarded by licensed healthcare professionals, including my own physician and/or psychologist/psychiatrist, as unsubstantiated by modern science.

    1. Functional Medicine Health Coaching is a complement to, but not a replacement for, advice from a qualified healthcare professional such as a medical doctor, psychologist or psychiatrist. Health coaching is an excellent way to gather individualized information which I can use to make My own decisions and may include coaching and information related to fitness, nutrition, stress management, emotional resilience, life visioning, overall preventative health and health risk management.
    2. Bio-Tuning/Neuroacoustic Sound Therapy is a holistic modality believed to be able to train or retrain the autonomic nervous system into a balanced state of homeostasis through the application of precise sound frequencies and their vibration to the right and left sides of the body, including to the ears. I understand that this modality is contraindicated for people with epilepsy or any seizure disorder, diagnosed or undiagnosed.
    3. Emotion Code is a methodology which seeks to find and release trapped emotions from the body’s energetic field, for example, through questioning techniques and muscle testing. Emotion release is believed to provide benefits including, but not limited to, the alleviation of physical pain and emotional wounds. 
    4. Meridian Balancing uses muscle testing as a method of biofeedback to identify imbalances in the body’s energy system. Magnets are used in an effort to rebalance the body’s energies thereby activating the body’s intrinsic healing process. 
    5. The Girls Healing Circles program is a class that teaches girls about their bodies including the body’s anatomy, function, self-image when it comes to the body, consent when it comes to the body, and the menstrual cycle. The Girls Healing Circles program also incorporates Neuroacoustic Sound Therapy, Emotion Code, and teachings / demonstrations to assist the girls (Clients) in their understanding of and in the release of trapped emotional energies.  It may be necessary to touch the girls (Clients) on or near their wrists and/or shoulders during these teachings / demonstrations.  
  1. CONSENT

By signing below, I hereby request and consent to the performance of Services on Myself or my child, and I agree that using any or every part of Services is entirely at my and my child’s own risk.
