With Meggie Winchell, M.Ed., Certified Life Coach
http://www.soulcenteredlifecoaching.com/
Welcome to coaching! Congratulations for saying, “Yes!” and taking this next step on your path of personal growth. I’m very much looking forward to working with you. Before we begin, it’s really important that we have a clear understanding about our work together. Please read this Client Contract carefully before checking the “I Agree” box.
Getting the Full Value of Coaching: Coaching provides an opportunity to be truly heard and deeply supported in doing your personal work as well as your work in the world. I listen carefully to where you are and where you want be and then help you take the next step in your process. Doing the work is ultimately up to you.
I am dedicated to each session being meaningful and productive. I encourage you to take personal responsibility for creating value and results for yourself. This means being committed to our appointments, completing your homework action steps, staying on-task during our calls, coming to the session with a topic that you’d like to work on, and giving me feedback about what is working well for you as well as how I can better assist you.
Nature and Length of Sessions:
I meet with all of my coaching clients over the phone. I will call you at the time of your appointment. Please be sure to keep me updated of your phone number. Group programs will meet by way of conference call. For your own comfort and ease, I suggest using a head-set during our calls. (Exception: International clients may meet via online video conferencing.)
For private coaching I recommend meeting every other week for a 75 minute session. This gives you time to integrate our work together as well as the regularity that will support you in moving forward with your process and goals. I expect you to keep your regularly scheduled appointments as our time is valuable and the benefit of our work together is cumulative. The best results happen because of your consistency and follow through.
Missed Appointment:
I understand that emergencies happen; therefore if an emergency keeps you from attending a session please email me when possible to let me know of the circumstances. Such events as death in the family, serious accidents, serious illness, and hospitalization are considered “emergencies”; otherwise, your appointment is reserved strictly for you. Please email to reschedule a session at least 24 hours in advance or the full amount of the missed appointment will be charged. If rescheduling private appointments become a pattern, there will be a $50 USD rescheduling fee.
Payment:
Payment is due prior to when services are rendered. Payments for private coaching sessions, group coaching programs, and workshops are due prior to the start of the event.
> I accept most credit cards and debit cards.
> Payment is required to reserve your appointment on my calendar.
Important—Please note that all private sessions, private coaching programs, group coaching programs, and workshop programs are non-refundable. This policy serves both of us; it gives you added accountability to continue with the process you are committing to and it allows me to reserve this time on my calendar specifically for you. In the event that you choose not to complete your program, you are still required to pay the total fee as originally agreed upon.
Communication:
Email is the best way to reach me: meggie [at] soulcenteredlifecoaching.com . I am happy to schedule an appointment, answer a quick question, give you a little boost, or celebrate a follow-through via email in between our sessions. However, I am not available to process extensively over email. The time and place for deep processing is on our coaching calls. Should you write a lengthy email, I will likely reply with the suggestion that we focus on this issue at our next session.
Certain programs do include additional email support by way of scheduled email check-ins. The specifics of your program can be found in the “Professional Fees” sections of this document.
My number will read, “Meggie Winchell - 413 498 5342”. This is a landline and doesn’t accept texts.
Confidentiality:
Information shared in coaching, workshops, and the Life Purpose Process© is strictly confidential. Should I consult with a professional colleague, I will maintain your anonymity unless you have given specific permission to release your name.
Any information discussed or any information either party comes to know during our work together is confidential.

The same policy is true for products produced by myself, Meggie Winchell, and includes, but is not limited to, ebooks, audios, and PDFs.
Release of Liability:
I am a coach, not a consultant, and not a therapist. As such, I will ask you questions and offer exercises that help you to clarify what you want in life and how to create it. Since these answers come from within you, it follows that you agree to take full responsibility for your actions accordingly while fully releasing myself, Meggie Winchell, of any liability.
