Policies and Terms

Welcome to Whole Health Services, (wholehealthservices.ca), the website and online home of Cathy Cochrane, NNCP, holistic nutrition consultant and soulful nourishment practitioner.

CONTENT

The information I, Cathy Cochrane, provide on my website (www.wholehealthservices.ca), during public talks, webinars, online programs, in blog posts or during private client sessions (in person, by phone or by Skype) is for educational purposes only.

My aim as a CANNP certified holistic nutrition consultant is to guide women to improve their health through better choices in nourishment of body, mind and soul.

The intention of any recommendation I make is an attempt to help you alleviate symptoms and improve quality of life. Suggestions I make to you may help you improve your health.

The content on the site and in the information products are proprietary, copyrighted and are not for resale.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS

By accessing or using wholehealthservices.ca, you are deemed to have read, understood and agreed to be bound by these terms of use, regardless of whether you are a visitor to this site or a purchaser of the products and services offered on the site, and by Cathy Cochrane or Whole Health Services offline.

It is your responsibility to review these Policies and Terms periodically. If at any time you find these Policies and Terms unacceptable or if you do not agree with them, please do not use this site.

I may revise these Policies and Terms at any time without notice.

DISCLAIMERS

If you continue to use this website and/or purchase Cathy Cochrane’s services and/or access any of my information products:

You acknowledge that information you receive does not constitute psychological or medical advice.

Choices and/or actions based on the content of the information provided are your responsibility. You assume all responsibility for decisions you make regarding your health and life.

You agree that your reading of the material and your consultation are subject to your own interpretation.

You are free to act upon or disregard any recommendations I offer.

You recognize that you are unique: it is your responsibility to do what you believe is right for you.

You acknowledge that I cannot guarantee any particular results: Results may vary depending on what you take action on, as well as on your individual history & needs.

You acknowledge that integrating awareness, making nutritional changes, and altering lifestyle habits take time. Some changes do have an immediate impact, but others need the response of your metabolism, hormones and psyche to readjust – a slow, gentle process. Note: The results, however, may be much deeper and longer lasting than a superficial band-aid.

Following my recommendations is at your own risk. If you have a particular health concern, consult your doctor or healthcare provider before moving forward.
