Service Disclaimer - Introduction:

While I make every effort to facilitate a beautiful, positive and inclusive experience, I want you to be aware that you are required to take full self-responsibility for your own wellbeing and decisions that you make in participating in my services, and in engaging with content provided by me. All offerings are invitations only.

If any concerns arise or if you need my support please raise it with me in a timely manner so that I can support you within my scope, or refer you to an appropriately qualified professional. If you have specific needs or accessibility requirements, please discuss with me before participating.

Terms & Conditions

Please note these statements apply to clients, participants, or audiences (‘you’) engaging with services, programs, products, events or other content (‘the service’) offered by Bianca Havukainen and/or Conscious Wellness with Bianca. If you are engaging with 1:1 coaching please refer instead to the Coaching Service Disclaimer.

These terms shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of New South Wales, Australia. You consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts in New South Wales to determine any matter or dispute which arises under these terms.

Disclaimer

I, Bianca Havukainen, owner of Conscious Wellness with Bianca, make the following disclosures: 

The service may not be right for you at this point in time and if you are not sure, you should seek the advice and endorsement of a qualified medical professional before participating.

Unless otherwise indicated, the service or content is of a general nature for information purposes only, for adults. It is not intended as advice, nor as a substitute for professional advice.

As owner of Conscious Wellness with Bianca, I am a practitioner of multiple modalities and I provide services that are alternative and complementary, in accordance with the education, training and experience I have. In delivering a service or content I may draw from and blend together the other complementary modalities in which I am trained and/or experienced. You can refer to my qualifications on the ‘About Bianca’ page of this website, which include Meditation Teacher, Holistic Life Coach & Mind-Body Practitioner, and Shamanic Womancraft Practitioner.

I disclose that I have a professional background as a Pharmacist, however I hereby advise that I am not engaging with you, or any of my clients, or participants, nor providing any information, program, nor service, associated with Conscious Wellness with Bianca in the capacity of pharmacist in any way.

I am not a mental health or medical practitioner. The information, content, products and services provided by me are not intended in any way as medical nor professional health advice, nor as therapy, nor to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any health problem. The services provided by me are not a replacement nor substitute for professional medical or psychological expertise or treatment, nor any other professional advice.

At times meditation, breathwork, inner work and self-reflection practices can have the effect of bringing our awareness to connect with ourselves and what we are feeling – in allowing ourselves to feel, there is the potential to feel feelings or notice issues that we may have not been consciously aware of, or become aware of things that are not working in our lives. From time to time, it may potentially bring up strong emotions or discomfort. If you experience strong emotions, difficulty or discomfort, during or after the service, it is your responsibility to seek the appropriate qualified support. You agree to bring it to my attention in a timely manner so that I can support you within my scope and capacity.  

I make no guarantees, representations or warranties of any kind or nature, express or implied with respect to the services provided. I expressly disclaim responsibility, and shall have no liability, for any damages, loss, injury, or liability whatsoever suffered as a result of services or products provided; should you decide to engage in my services or products, you do so at your own risk.

Group settings or recordings:

When the service, product or content is delivered to a group or general audience (ie, any time other than a 1:1 live coaching setting), it is not intended to provide individual or personalised support, nor intended to establish a client/practitioner relationship.

In this setting, I may not have the capacity to be aware of, nor attend to, the specific needs of the audience or individual participants. In participating you are required to take self-responsibility. If you require support during the session (or afterwards), you must bring it my attention, and I will endeavour to support you within the capacity of the setting and my scope.

In participating in group sessions, you agree to treat each participant with respect, and commit to contribute to your best ability to maintaining a safe, compassionate and respectful space for all participants. You agree to treat all information shared by other participants confidentially. In the spirit of respect, if a participant shares with you during the session any personal information or sensitive information about their own experience, you agree not to later raise the topic for further discussion with the person unless they raise it themselves or have expressly invited you to do so. If your behaviour is not appropriate to the setting or puts me or other participants at risk you will be asked to leave.

Privacy & Confidentiality:

All personal information that you supply to me will be treated confidentially by me. Please refer to the full Privacy Policy on my website.

In participating, you agree to treat all personal information shared with you during group sessions with confidentiality.

Group sessions may be recorded and/or photographed and shared at my discretion – you will be advised if the session is going to be recorded or photographed. As such, I cannot vouch for the privacy or confidentiality of the content of recorded or photographed sessions. If you have any concerns about privacy please discuss with me before participating. You must not share, distribute, or make publicly available any content or recordings unless agreed in writing.

Consent & Waiver

In proceeding to participate in any service, program, product, event, or content (‘the service’) offered by Bianca Havukainen or Conscious Wellness with Bianca, you, as the client, participant, or audience member, acknowledge that you are voluntarily participating in the service, and expressly agree that you are doing so at your own risk.

You understand that it is your responsibility to consult with a mental health practitioner or physician prior to and regarding your participation in the services. You warrant that you have no medical conditions that would prevent your full participation in this service.

In participating in the service, you agree to assume full responsibility for any risks, injuries or damages, known or unknown, which you might incur as a result of participating in the service.

You knowingly, voluntarily and expressly waive any claim you may have against Bianca Havukainen and Conscious Wellness with Bianca for injury or damages that you may sustain as a result of participating in the service or from the use of any information, content, product, or materials provided, direct or indirect. You, your heirs and legal representatives forever release, waive, discharge and covenant not to sue Bianca Havukainen or Conscious Wellness with Bianca for any injury or death or other loss, or damages of any kind caused by their negligence or other acts.

By proceeding to participate you agree that you have read, fully understand, and agree with the above statements.

Thank you for taking the care to read these statements.
