Client disclosure and informed consent

Sara Taylor is not a licensed physician and is not licensed by the State of California as a healing arts practitioner.

The services described in this document are complementary or alternative to services provided by licensed healing arts professionals. The services described in this document are not licensed by the State of California.

Sara does not provide medical care, medical diagnosis, medical treatment, psychological services, psychotherapy, mental health treatment, chiropractic care, physical therapy, massage, prescription services, or emergency or crisis care.

These services do not replace examination, diagnosis, treatment, or care from a licensed health professional.

NEST sessions and Rooted Resilience coaching are nonclinical educational wellness services.

Depending on the session and the client’s choices, services may include guided attention to breathing, sensory orientation, grounding practices, awareness of bodily sensations, voluntary movement, general wellness education, and lifestyle coaching.

These practices are intended to provide structured opportunities to slow down, notice present-moment experiences, and practice grounding, awareness, relaxation, and self-regulation.

These services are based on a nonmedical wellness theory that deliberate attention to breathing, surroundings, bodily sensations, and voluntary movement may provide an opportunity to practice awareness, grounding, relaxation, and self-regulation.

Sara does not represent that these practices diagnose, treat, prevent, or cure trauma, disease, illness, injury, pain, mental illness, psychological disorders, nervous system dysfunction, or any other medical or psychological condition.

The services have not been prescribed for the client by Sara. Results vary, and no particular result is promised or guaranteed.
