This summary is an overview of the policies, procedures and practices regarding coaching with Jennifer Ritchie and Life Evolves Coaching, LLC.  

Please read it carefully, so you can be responsible for getting the most out of your coaching experience.

Refer to the number of sessions detailed in the package your are purchasing. Sessions are generally 50 minutes taking place every 10 days, at a day and time the client will book and schedule themselves via this website. The coaching session is via Google Meet as mutually agreed in advance. The time set aside for the session is the only specific time that you are guaranteed your coach will be available. You may email or text your coach at any time for additional support between sessions.

From time to time, circumstances may require that either the coach or the client reschedule a session. 

As availability is limited, advance notice of cancellations is required to reschedule. A session may only be rescheduled if canceled 24 hours before the original date. If a session is canceled with less than 24 hours’ notice, it will not be rescheduled.

From time to time, rescheduling may result in more than one session per week. Session availability may be impacted by outside circumstances, such as holidays or vacations of either party.

The coaching relationship, and all matters discussed within, are confidential. Your coach may opt to record your calls, so you have the saved recording to review in the future. These recordings are not for any other purpose, are never shared with an outside party unless given explicit permission, and are kept confidential.

Your coach will only have to suspend this confidentiality agreement in the following cases:

Jennifer Ritchie is trained and certified through an ICF Certified Coach Training Program (more information on the ICF here: https://coachfederation.org/). Your coach is committed to creating a safe, confidential space for you to learn and grow in. 

Enclosed, please find a proprietary materials agreement for your signature. The coaching concepts, materials and information are property of Jennifer Ritchie and contain copyrighted material. 

By signing, you are agreeing that you will not use any materials created by your coach for financial gain. You are forbidden to reproduce or share materials given to you by your coach without written permission of Jennifer Ritchie.

Please fill out your forms completely and return them 48 hours before your next coaching session. As a follow-up to you investing in your package you will receive a  Client Welcome Questionnaire to complete and sign.

Coaching with Jennifer Ritchie is designed as a reciprocal program to provide results coaching.  We do this by coaching, consulting and mentoring. Coaching is not therapy. Coaches are not health care professionals, and do not provide any medical services.

Coaching is not designed to treat your physical or mental wellbeing, nor cure any ailments or disease. It is simply a guided conversation with recommended actions. If you have health or wellbeing concerns, I recommend that you consult a health professional prior to entering a coaching relationship.

Please note that as the expert on your own life, you are responsible for making all decisions related to your own health and wellbeing. If you have any questions with regard to your ability to participate in coaching, please reach out to a health professional prior to entering a coaching relationship. 

We accept venmo, zelle and stripe payments. Sessions are paid in advance on this website.

The coaching relationship is designed to push you through roadblocks and limiting beliefs. It’s possible that the direct confrontation of your fears can make you uncomfortable or unsure about continuing. 

This is a normal part of the process, and a healthy step toward forward progress. Your coach will hold you accountable to your goals through this discomfort, in service of your future. Life Evolves Coaching, LLC does not offer refunds for any services already provided. You are free to cancel the relationship at any time, with 30 days notice.  By giving notice, your coach is able to ensure that your relationship is resolved powerfully and that you are provided with all resources needed for your next step. 

You are asked to come to your coaching sessions with a topic or topics to discuss, an open heart and a curious mind. I highly recommend you bring paper and pen, along with your previous notes and your current updates from the previous sessions commitments.  I also advise that you create a sacred space where you can be comfortable and focused.

You and Jenn will work together on tasks or practices that you would like to complete between sessions. Your completion of these practices will directly correlate to the progress you make during your coaching relationship.  

I encourage you to participate fully in your coaching by completing the commitments between sessions and taking on additional personal development work.
