Terms of Service.
Nutrition Consultation Agreement Contract

By accepting and paying for your initial consultation the client agrees to the following with Lauri Belcher Nutrition (Lauri Belcher).

General
You will discuss and agree the support you require from Lauri Belcher in your first session, and review the progress and focus of your work together as you go along. You may decide to end your work together at this point or continue working together on a more ad-hoc basis.
The initial session for an individual is 60 minutes in length, and follow-up sessions last 30 minutes. Longer sessions, and more frequent sessions, can be negotiated if you require more intensive support. If you are late for an appointment the session will still end at the arranged time.

Payment
You are required to pay for sessions, which are missed or canceled, with less than 24 hours’ notice. Please note we require payment before your scheduled session/s starts. You will receive payment instructions at the time of booking confirmation of the initial consultation.

Cancellation
It is important that you attend sessions regularly. However, if you do need to cancel an appointment please let Lauri Belcher know with at least 24 hours’ notice. You can do this in advance in a session.
If you miss 2 or more sessions without prior discussion it will be assumed you no longer require the sessions and your contract will be terminated. If the minimum commitment period has not been reached you will be invoiced for the remaining sessions.

Refunds
If you pay for an initial nutrition consultation prior to your appointment date and decide to cancel your appointment with less than 48 hours notice no refund will be given as a time in our calendar has been reserved for you making it unavailable for others.

Confidentiality
Clients of Lauri Belcher are confidential plus all discussions within clinic sessions. There are, however, some limits and exceptions to confidentiality. If Lauri Belcher has serious concerns about your safety or the safety of another person normal confidentiality may be lifted.

Problems & Complaints
If you are having a problem with Lauri Belcher, or the service, which you have not been able to resolve please provide written details of the concern via email.

Working on Zoom, Phone & FaceTime
It is your responsibility to have a working internet connection for all Zoom and FaceTime sessions. You will be charged for scheduled sessions if Lauri Belcher is waiting for your call, but you are unable to connect online.
Nutritional advice is not a substitute for professional medical advice and/or treatment. Practitioners never recommend nutritional therapy as a replacement for medical advice and always refer any client with ‘red flag’ signs or symptoms to their medical professional. They will also frequently work alongside a medical professional and will communicate with other healthcare professionals involved in the client’s care to explain any nutritional therapy program that has been provided.

The Client understands and agrees to the following:

  • I am responsible for contacting my general practitioner (GP) about any health concerns.

  • I give permission for you to contact my GP regarding any agreed aspects of my case: YES

  • If I am receiving treatment from my GP, or any other medical provider, I should tell him/her about any nutritional strategy provided by my nutritionist (Lauri Belcher). This is necessary because of any possible reaction between medication and the nutritional program

  • It is important that I tell my nutritionist (Lauri Belcher) about any medical diagnosis, medication, herbal medicine, or food supplements, I am taking as this may affect the nutritional program.

  • If I am unclear about the agreed nutrition (Lauri Belcher) program/food supplement doses/time period, I should contact my nutritionist (Lauri Belcher) promptly for clarification.

  • Recording consultations using any form of electronic media is not allowed without the written permission of both Lauri Belcher and you the client.
