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 energetic imbalances which helps the body activate its innate healing ability. When the energy of the body is balanced and moves correctly, the body naturally heals itself. My work is a complement to regular allopathic medicine. I recommend that clients continue to see their regular medical doctors and follow their advice. My energy 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
KALI, Reiki, Energy Work, Sound Healing, Akashic Soul Readings
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 Light Integration (KALI), 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 KALI, 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. KALI or Energy 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 activates a person’s 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. I am aware that this healing modality is a powerful transmission, and I will give myself ample space and time afterward to help support my integration.
6. I understand that if I am taking any medications or have any medical conditions such as, but not being limited to: schizophrenia, bi-polar or manic disorders, epilepsy, hearing conditions, pregnancy, or serious cardiovascular issues, high/low blood pressure, asthma, COPD, serious eye conditions (detached retina) current or previous heart conditions, severe cardiovascular diseases and/or irregularities, COPD, previous hospitalisation for psychiatric conditions, history of stroke and seizures, family history of aneurysms that I must advise Karine Tolerton.
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 Kundalini Activation in-person group sessions or events. 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 cancelation 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, or arrive more than 10 minutes late, then you will be charged the full fee for the session. If you arrive 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.
Coupon Usage: Unless otherwise specified, all coupon codes expire three months from the date of issuance and/or event.
Akashic Readings – Please note the following terms for Akashic Soul Readings:
14. Payment is required to secure your appointment. All sessions are conducted via Google Meet. I will send you a link with dial-in details when the session time is confirmed. You will receive a personalised written report following your session. I am unable to provide refunds for change of mind as I can start the Akashic record research at any time. A 48-hour notice is required should you need to reschedule your appointment.
