Disclaimer
Please read this Disclaimer carefully before engaging in any coaching or breathwork services with Lia Candeloro Coaching.
1. Not Medical or Mental Health Advice
Lia Candeloro Coaching provides coaching and breathwork facilitation. This is not therapy, counseling, psychiatric care, or medical treatment, and nothing shared during a session should be taken as medical, psychological, or mental health advice. Lia is not a licensed therapist, psychologist, psychiatrist, or medical provider.
If you are experiencing a mental health crisis, please contact a licensed mental health professional, call or text 988 (Suicide & Crisis Lifeline), or go to your nearest emergency room.
2. Not a Substitute for Professional Care
Coaching and breathwork are not a replacement for therapy, medical care, or crisis intervention. Where a client's needs appear to go beyond the scope of coaching, referral to an appropriate licensed provider will be part of our standard practice, not an afterthought. If you are currently working with a therapist, doctor, or other licensed provider, we encourage you to continue that care alongside any work you do with us, not in place of it.
3. Breathwork Safety & Contraindications
Coaching sessions do not require or assume any breathwork component, and breathwork is offered as an optional add-on for those who choose it, either as a complimentary bonus or a standalone session.
For clients who do choose to include breathwork, it's worth knowing that somatic breathwork can involve intense physical, emotional, and physiological responses. Breathwork may not be appropriate for individuals who are:
- Pregnant
- Living with a cardiovascular condition (including high blood pressure, heart disease, or history of stroke)
- Living with epilepsy or a seizure disorder
- Living with severe mental illness, including a history of psychosis
- Currently experiencing a panic disorder or severe anxiety disorder, without stabilization
- Recovering from recent surgery
- Living with a detached retina or other significant eye conditions
- Living with severe asthma or other significant respiratory conditions
If any of these apply to you, that doesn't mean coaching isn't a fit, it simply means breathwork specifically may not be the right addition for you at this time. Clients are responsible for disclosing any relevant health conditions prior to a breathwork session, and should consult their physician if uncertain whether breathwork is appropriate for them.
4. No Guarantee of Outcomes
Individual results from coaching and breathwork vary and depend on many factors, including your own participation and circumstances. We make no guarantees regarding specific personal, professional, financial, or health outcomes.
