General Terms & Conditions
Consultation Agreement Contract
By accepting and paying for your initial consultation the client agrees to the following with The Holistic Fountain.
You will discuss and agree the support you require from The Holistic Fountain 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 is 60 - 90 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 cancelled, with less than 24 hours’ notice. Please note we require 100% payment upon booking your appointment. You will receive an invoice at the time of booking the consultation.
Cancellation Policy
It is important that you attend sessions regularly. However, if you do need to cancel an appointment please let The Holistic Fountain know as soon as possible. You can do this in advance in a session.
If you miss a session without prior discussion it will be assumed you no longer require the sessions and your contract will be terminated. If you can cancel or postpone your appointment with as much notice as possible that gives someone else the opportunity to take that appointment time.
If an appointment is cancelled within 24 hours of your appointment, 50% of the fee will be refunded. This is a result of practitioner preparations, as well as the client waiting list.
Consultation Refunds
If you pay for a program or package deal and wish to cancel your follow-up appointments after the first session, a 50% refund will be issued. If follow-up appointments for a program or package deal are not used within 3 months from your initial appointment date no refunds will be given as it will be assumed you no longer require the sessions and your contract will be terminated. If you pay for an initial integrative health consultation prior to your appointment date and decide to cancel your appointment with less than 24 hours’ notice 50% of your appointment fee will be withheld, and 50% will be returned to you.

The Integrative Health Descriptor
Integrative Health practitioners use a wide range of tools to assess and identify potential integrative health imbalances and understand how these may contribute to an individual’s symptoms and health concerns. This approach allows them to work with individuals to address integrative health balance and help support the body towards maintaining health. Integrative Health Practice is recognised as complementary medicine. It is relevant for individuals with chronic conditions, as well as those looking for support to enhance their health and wellbeing.
Integrative Health practitioners are not permitted to diagnose or claim to treat medical conditions. Integrative health advice is not a substitute for professional medical advice and/or treatment. Practitioners never recommend integrative health practices 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 professionals and will communicate with other healthcare professionals involved in the client’s care to explain any integrative health programme 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 nutritional practitioner (The Holistic Fountain). This is necessary because of any possible reaction between medication and the nutritional program
It is important that I tell my integrative health practitioner (Joanna Burch) about any medical diagnosis, medication, herbal medicine, or food supplements, I am taking as this may affect the programme.
If I am unclear about the agreed program/food supplement doses/time period, I should contact my integrative health practitioner (Joanna Burch) promptly for clarification.
