Disclaimer
I, Karine Tolerton, am not a medical doctor and do not practice medicine. I do not diagnose, cure, treat disease, or otherwise prescribe medication. I assist people in correcting nervous system and energetic imbalances, which helps the body activate its innate healing ability. My work complements regular allopathic medicine. I recommend that clients continue to see their regular medical doctors and follow their advice. My work is not a substitute for conventional medical diagnosis or treatment for any medical or psychological condition. For such issues, you should seek a licensed physician or healthcare professional.
Terms & Conditions – Waiver and Informed Consent
By accessing this website or booking any of our services, you acknowledge and agree to be bound by the following terms and conditions.
When attending a session, workshop, or event with Karine Tolerton you must acknowledge and accept the following terms:
I hereby willingly, knowingly, and voluntarily acknowledge and understand that:
1. Kundalini Activation, Reiki, energy work and sound healing is alternative/complementary and does not take the place of medical care and therefore will not be used in lieu of medical treatment.
2. I am not using Spinal Energtics, Kundalini, Reiki, energy work and sound healing in lieu of medical treatment and am encouraged to consult a licensed medical practitioner for any physical or mental ailments I may have.
3. I understand that Karine Tolerton will neither diagnose any medical condition, nor prescribe for any condition that I might have, nor does she make any specific claims regarding results from the sessions that I receive. I understand that I am encouraged to consult a licensed medical practitioner for any physical or mental complaints I may have. Spinal Energetics, Kundalini Activations, Sound Therapy or Reiki are not substitutes for medical or psychological attention, examination, diagnosis, or treatment.
4. Reiki and energy work are gentle, hands-on, or hands-off energy techniques that are used for stress reduction and relaxation. I also understand that the body has the ability to heal itself and to do so, complete relaxation is often beneficial. I acknowledge that long-term imbalances in the body sometimes require multiple sessions in order to facilitate the level of relaxation needed by the body to heal itself
Kundalini Activations and Breathwork terms:
5. Kundalini Activation is an energy modality that facilitates kundalini awakening. A session may include light physical touch, and I hereby consent to such unless expressly stated otherwise. I understand that during a session, I may make physical movements and may have emotional releases.
6. I acknowledge that Spinal Energetics and Kundalini Activation sessions involve energetic and nervous system stimulation and may not be suitable for individuals with certain medical or psychiatric conditions.
These sessions are contraindicated for individuals with: schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, manic disorders, epilepsy or seizure disorders, a history of stroke, previous psychiatric hospitalisation, family history of aneurysms, serious cardiovascular conditions (including high or low blood pressure, heart disease, irregular heart rhythms), COPD, severe asthma, significant hearing conditions, serious eye conditions such as detached retina, and pregnancy (first and third trimester, and within six months postpartum). If any of the above apply, participation is not recommended without prior medical clearance.
I will make Karine Tolerton aware of any medical conditions or physical limitations before a class or session. If I am pregnant, become pregnant, or am post-natal or post-surgical, my acceptance of these terms verifies that I have my physician’s approval to participate.
7. As is the case with any physical activity, the risk of injury is always present and cannot be entirely eliminated. If I experience any pain or discomfort, I will listen to my body, discontinue the activity, and ask for support from the facilitator. I assume full responsibility for any and all damages, which may incur through participation.
8. No one under the age of 18 will be allowed to attend Kundalini or Breathwork, sessions or events without an attending parent or guardian. For Reiki and sound therapy sessions, events, and workshops, parents or guardians are not required to attend but must provide consent for the child to participate.
9. I agree to allow the occasional video or photograph to be taken of me to be published as part of attending any private sessions or events. It is my responsibility to let Karine Tolerton know if I have a problem with this at the session, in so doing my wishes will be fully respected.
10. As these policies are publicly visible and available, it is understood that anyone attending Karine Tolerton’s classes, sessions and events does so with the acknowledgment that she/he has read the above waiver, understands its meaning and legal implications, and agrees fully to the terms and conditions stipulations herein.
CANCELLATION TERMS
12. There are no refunds for attendance at Spinal Energetics and/or Kundalini Activation group sessions. As such, please review ALL of these terms and conditions prior to registering and paying. Requests to reschedule and be placed in a different group session must be requested at least 48 hours in advance of the session.
13. Only individual, one-on-one sessions are refundable. For these, there is a 48-hour cancellation policy. If you need to cancel an appointment, you must do so within 48 hours; otherwise, you will be charged a cancellation fee of $75. If you cancel within 2 hours prior to your appointment, fail to show up to your appointment without notice, then you will be charged the full fee for the session. If you arrive late and are within the 10-minute grace period, the session will not be extended, and the 10 minutes will be deducted from the scheduled time slot allotted for the session. i.e. if it is a 1-hour session and you are 10 minutes late, then you will only receive 50 minutes of the session; the session will not be extended because you are late.
Refund Policy for 1:1 in-person appointments and events: The payment processing service fees (Paypal or Stripe) are non-refundable under all circumstances. So, if you request a refund for an in-person appointment or event, and it is deemed necessary, you will be refunded — minus the Stripe/Paypal fees on your original transaction.
