HWH Provides Coaching and Education
HWH commits to making clients’ safety and well-being a top priority. HAPPY WHOLE HUMAN® (HWH) coaching is not intended to serve as a substitution for psychotherapy. If clients believe that they or someone else may have a serious physical or mental health problem, they are advised to call 911 or a crisis hotline or go to the emergency room. WHOLE HUMAN LLC (HWH) has made efforts to ensure the quality of all interactions and information provided and of HWH representatives themselves. However, HWH makes no warranties of any kind (whether express, implied or statutory) with respect to the quality, or information contained in HWH products and services.
​
Clients agree to hold Dr. Lisa Leit, HWH certified coaches, and HWH harmless for any medical conditions for clients and those clients represent. HWH coaching results cannot be guaranteed. Clients are responsible for their own decisions, behavior, and results. HWH programs, materials, and coaches do not provide medical, psychological, diagnostic or treatment services. None of the HWH representatives, employees, consultants, coaches, coaching guides, or directors are working as a doctor, a medical professional, a therapist, or a dietitian. Therefore, if clients are experiencing panic attacks, suicidal, having homicidal thoughts, or likely to be a harm to themselves and others HWH requires that they be in the care of a primary licensed health professional (preferably a psychiatrist or psychologist) and have a waiver signed so that coaches can collaborate as complementary practitioners. Coaching does not treat illness or pathology. Only qualified healthcare professionals can provide accurate diagnosis of suicidality, depression, and alcohol/ drug problems or other mental illnesses.
​
HAPPY WHOLE HUMAN® representatives, members, employees, consultants, coaches, coaching guides, and directors do not work as: a doctor, a medical professional, a therapist, or a dietitian. Therefore, they DO NOT OFFER CLINICAL, MEDICAL, OR PSYCHOLOGICAL ADVICE or prescribe any treatments. Before starting any smoking cessation, anxiety management, stress management, or weight loss or reduction program, clients should ALWAYS seek medical advice first. Although HWH coaches and representatives are fully available to support clients in their efforts and decisions to improve their lives, they do not provide advice on diet, and all HWH products and services are intended to assist users to achieve a healthy diet and lifestyle. HWH is not a medical organization and cannot give medical advice or make any diagnosis. The material on the HWH website is for informational and educational purposes only. It is clients’ responsibility to verify to clients’ own satisfaction the information supplied before making any decision based upon the information and to consult registered medical practitioners or healthcare professionals concerning the information presented. HWH does not assume any legal obligation to follow up with individuals outside of sessions unless otherwise specified. Further, HWH assumes no liability arising from the application or use of HWH products or services, nor for any loss or damage (whether direct or indirect) caused by any errors, omissions or statements of any kind contained on www.happywholehuman.com, its publications, or products.
​
HWH Coaches Do Not Tell Clients What to Do or How to Do It
Since the goal is to help clients mature, HWH coaches do not tell them what to do or how to do it. HWH coaches do, however, discuss what is happening in their lives with them and provide support such as helping them to come to clarity through brainstorming, teaching them tools, and leading them through exercises. HWH coaches also provide resources and referrals as appropriate. HWH coaches discuss any issues clients bring us: professional, personal and relational.
​
HWH Coaches
When Happy Whole Human certified coaches work with clients, they are working as independent contractors, sometimes affiliates, but not as employees of Happy Whole Human LLC.
​
Coaching Content
HWH coaches ask questions that prompt the client to assess the challenges they are facing and to determine appropriate ways forward.
​
The Coach-Client Relationship
Coaches are not and should not be authority figures. Instead, coaches are the stewards of the process and are responsible for measuring progress in terms of what the client is learning about themselves and the degree to which clients demonstrate that they are better equipped to meet the complex challenges in their lives.
​
Setting Goals
A coach may make recommendations for what the goals of the session will be, but the client makes the final decision.
​
Cancellation Policy
HWH coaches respect clients’ time and asks clients to respect the value of their time. If clients make an appointment, it will be held for them. As everyone experiences unexpected setbacks, we do offer one grace last-minute cancellation or no show. If clients either are not available for a scheduled session (no show) or need to cancel within 24 hours of the scheduled session (after the first time) and the time slot is not filled by another paid session, clients are responsible for payment in full and will not be issued a refund or HWH credit.
​
Communications
Coaching may address specific personal projects, business successes, or general conditions in the client's life or profession. Other coaching services include value clarification, brainstorming, identifying plans of action, examining modes of operating in life, asking clarifying questions, holistic mind/body awareness exercises, mediation, hypnosis, and requests or suggestions for action. Throughout the working relationship, the coach will engage in direct and personal conversations via telephone, Skype, FaceTime, and text messages, as agreed with the client. The client understands that successful coaching requires a co-created collaborative approach. In the coaching relationship, the coach plays the role of a facilitator of change, but it is the client's responsibility to enact or bring about the change.
​
Prior History
The client also agrees to disclose accurate basic identifying information and details of the past or present physical, psychological, or psychiatric treatment via the HWH confidential intake form. Also, the client will discuss any health difficulties which arise during the course of the coaching relationship immediately so that the coach can provide the client with an appropriate referral.
​
Privacy
The client can, at any point in the coaching session, declare his/her preference not to discuss a specific issue, by simply stating that they would rather not discuss this issue. Additionally, the client can opt to not participate in an exercise suggested by the coach. The coach agrees to respect this boundary and will not attempt to forward the conversation further along those lines.
​
Mediation
When HWH coaches work with two or more people, they work as mediators. Mediation is the attempt to help parties in a disagreement to hear one another, to minimize the harm that can come from disagreement (e.g. hostility or defensiveness) to maximize any area of agreement, and to find a way of preventing the areas of disagreement from interfering with the process of seeking a compromise or mutually agreed outcome. Effective mediation requires a balance of power and a level of willingness to find a way forward together that all parties can live with. If an HWH coach has reason to believe that one or both of the parties is not engaging in the process in good faith, the mediation will be terminated without refund. For this reason, before purchasing a prepaid package or paying a retainer, mediation clients are advised to book a consultation with Dr. Leit and realistically assess the viability of mediation as opposed to court proceedings. While court hearings are public, mediation remains strictly confidential. No one but the parties to the dispute and the mediator or mediators know what happened. Confidentiality in mediation has such importance that in most cases the legal system cannot force a mediator to testify in court as to the content or progress of mediation. Many mediators destroy their notes taken during a mediation once that mediation has finished. The only exceptions to such strict confidentiality usually involve child abuse or actual or threatened criminal acts, or indications that the client is a danger to him/herself and/or others.
​
Coaching Payment and Refund Policy
Fees for sessions are due at the time the service is provided and are non-refundable. All prepaid discounted coaching packages and retainers are transferable, but non-refundable and expire 1 year from the date of purchase or as otherwise specified. For engagements requiring travel, clients cover accommodation and transportation. If clients decide, or if coaches make the professional determination that sessions are no longer productive, they may say so and discontinue the coaching relationship, giving the client the option to transfer the remaining balance of prepaid coaching packages. The client may wish to transfer packages or retainers to a person of his/her choice or create a scholarship fund for deserving coaching candidates. Dr. Lisa Leit agrees to facilitate such transfers and/or make appropriate referrals. The HWH material online is for informational and educational purposes only. HWH and its representatives do not assume any legal obligation to follow up with or on behalf of individuals after sessions unless explicitly agreed upon in a retainer agreement.
​
Agreement to Work it Out
If the client or coach believes the coaching is not working as desired, they agree to communicate and take action to work out any difficulties and do their best to get back on track to their mutual satisfaction.
​
Coaching Term; Termination
The coach and client agree to provide as much notice as possible in the event that one or both desire to discontinue coaching. Otherwise, the coaching will continue for the duration of the contracted period. These terms and conditions are applicable to clients upon clients’ signing this contract. The provisions relating to Copyrights, Trademark, Disclaimer, Limitation of Liability, Indemnification and Miscellaneous, shall survive any termination.
​
Confidentiality, Research, and Reporting
Coaching session records are confidential. Coaches may share some broad details of sessions only in consultation with Dr. Leit if they feel her expertise may be helpful in providing clients with the most effective support. Coaches do not keep in-depth session notes. Any cursory notes and opinions will only be released if concerns arise about unethical behavior on the part of the coach, or strong evidence that a client might be of harm to herself or someone else (by law HWH coaches and representatives have to report mentions of child abuse or suicidal or homicidal intent). HWH trainees and certified coaches agree to hold any contact or personal information about clients, HWH employees, and one another confidential.
​
In instances where another party (such as a parent or employer), pays for coaching sessions, coaches and HWH adhere to a strict confidentiality policy to protect HWH primary clients (those undergoing coaching). Unless the primary client signs a waiver form giving permission to talk to specified other parties, HWH coaching session records are confidential. If clients wish for their coach to speak to someone outside coaching interactions, then clients need to give written permission (original letter, fax or email) to do so. Exceptions to confidentiality relate to circumstances such as indications of intent to seriously harm themselves or someone else, plans to commit serious criminal acts, or child abuse. Otherwise, all client information is confidential.
​
Appointment Scheduling Policy
Booking, changing, and canceling appointments is a client responsibility and can be done by the client via the online scheduling system. After one last-minute cancellation, if clients either do not show up for the session or need to cancel within 24 hours of the scheduled session and there is not another paying client to fill the slot, they will be charged for the session in full.
​
HAPPY WHOLE HUMAN® Self-Assessment
Self-Assessment results are confidential. Self-Assessment results are aggregated anonymously to generate benchmarks, for research, and reporting purposes.
​
Hypnosis
As hypnosis should not stand alone as the sole medical or psychological intervention for any disorder, hypnosis should not be used instead of appropriate medical, dental, or psychological treatment. Any individual with a medical or psychological problem should first consult a qualified health care provider for diagnosis and professional advice. HWH coaches' facilitative approach to hypnosis is non-directive and empowering. HWH hypnotic coaches do not tell clients what to do and they will retain full memory and choice. Hypnosis is voluntary and if at any time clients need or want to come out of the relaxed state all clients have to do is think or say the word “Awake.” For this reason, HWH assumes no liability for clients’ decisions as to how to use the self-hypnosis files and for the choices clients make. HAPPY WHOLE HUMAN LLC (HWH) and associates assume no liability to any party for any actions or results for adverse situations created as a direct or indirect result of hypnosis sessions or listening to HWH self-hypnosis recordings, referrals or other advice given. Hypnosis, self-hypnosis, consulting, and coaching are not the same as psychological counseling or any kind of therapy.
​
HWH Institute Deposit and Refund Policy
A 50% non-refundable, but transferable deposit is required to confirm enrollment in a course or certification program. The remaining 50% tuition and fees are due 10 days before the training begins. Students who cancel their contract by notifying the school in writing within the first 10 business days after they begin are entitled to a refund of tuition and fees, minus the non-refundable, but transferable deposit. After this grace period, students may apply for a leave of absence and re-enroll any time the course and/or program is offered within the following 3 years. Alternatively, a student may transfer his or her tuition to another student. All refund requests for HWH trainings and events must be made in writing via email or fax. All refunds will be made within 30 days from the date of termination: a. The date on which the school receives notice of the student’s intention to discontinue the training program; or b. The date on which the student violates published school policy, which provides for termination. c. Should a student fail to return from an excused leave of absence, the effective date of termination for a student on an extended leave of absence or a leave of absence is the day the school determines the student is not returning or the day following the expected return date. d. The student will receive a full refund of tuition and fees paid (including the deposit) if the school discontinues a course program within a period of time a student could have reasonably completed it, except that this provision shall not apply in the event the school ceases operation. Payment for trainings must be made according to agreed upon terms, or certification will be delayed.
​
Typographical Errors
In the event that a HAPPY WHOLE HUMAN® service or product is mistakenly listed at an incorrect price, HAPPY WHOLE HUMAN reserves the right to refuse or cancel any orders placed for product listed at the incorrect price. HAPPY WHOLE HUMAN reserves the right to refuse or cancel any such orders whether or not the order has been confirmed and clients’ credit card charged. If clients’ credit card has already been charged for the purchase and clients’ order is canceled, HAPPY WHOLE HUMAN shall issue a credit to clients’ credit card account in the amount of the incorrect price.
​
Third-Party Links
In an attempt to provide increased value to visitors, the HWH website may link to sites operated by third parties. However, even if the third party is affiliated with HAPPY WHOLE HUMAN, HWH has no control over these linked sites, all of which have separate privacy and data collection practices, independent of HWH. These linked sites are only for clients’ convenience and therefore clients access them at clients’ own risk. Nonetheless, HAPPY WHOLE HUMAN seeks to protect the integrity of its website and the links placed upon it and therefore requests any feedback on not only its own site, but for sites it links to as well (including if a specific link does not work). All educational supporting materials provided by HAPPY WHOLE HUMAN are used for research, supplemental, and instructional purposes according to the Fair Use Provision of the Copyright Protection Act. HWH abides by Pinterest's Acceptable Use Policy. Pinterest complies with the provision of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act that requires it to remove content when asked by the copyright owner. Users such as HAPPY WHOLE HUMAN are free to continue pinning any images they find on the Internet. HWH gives attribution for all pins. If copyrighted content is presented on the site and people wish to have it removed they are invited to email HWH and HWH representatives will be happy to remove the content immediately.
Payments
HAPPY WHOLE HUMAN reserves the right to change content options (including eligibility for particular features) without notice. Clients agree that HAPPY WHOLE HUMAN may charge clients’ payment method for any services and/or products purchased and for any additional amounts (including any taxes and late fees, as applicable) that may be accrued by or in connection with clients’ account. Clients’ total price will include the price of the product and/or service plus any applicable sales tax; such sales tax is based on the bill-to address and the sales tax rate in effect at the time clients download the product. Tax will be charged only in states where digital goods are taxable. If a product becomes unavailable following a transaction but prior to download, clients’ sole remedy is a refund. If technical problems prevent or unreasonably delay delivery of clients’ product, clients’ exclusive and sole remedy is either replacement or refund of the price paid, as determined by HAPPY WHOLE HUMAN LLC.
​
Indemnification
Clients agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless HAPPY WHOLE HUMAN LLC, its officers, directors, coaches, employees, agents, licensors and suppliers (collectively the “Service Providers”) from and against all losses, expenses, damages and costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, resulting from any violation of these terms and conditions or any activity related to clients’ account (including negligent or wrongful conduct) by clients or any other person.

You are free to contact the investigator at her address, email, and phone number to discuss the study. You must be at least 18 years old to participate.
Purpose of the Study
The purpose of this study is to further develop and validate the 140-item Happy Whole Human Holistic Wellness Self-Assessment (HWH Self-Assessment), as well as to analyze the efficacy of our services and offerings. In our analysis, we will examine to what degree the Happy Whole Human Holistic Wellness Self-Assessment instrument measures what it intends to measure, and the degree to which the “thing” that the instrument measures has meaning. We will also compare participants' results over time to determine to what degree our coaching and curriculum is effective in improving participants' self-reported scores. Your participation in the study will contribute to a better understanding of the degree to which we will be able to use it to understand and predict people's behavior. This should help us understand the feelings, attitudes, and behaviors of different people with a view to helping them to improve their holistic wellness over time.
If clients agree to participate:
• The Self-Assessment will take approximately 30 minutes
• They will complete 140 questions about your holistic wellness.
Risks/Benefits/Confidentiality of Data
There are no known risks or costs for participating. We hope clients will benefit from the personalized holistic wellness handbook they will receive via email. Names and email addresses will be kept during the data collection phase for tracking purposes only and will be anonymized for research purposes beyond coaching work. A limited number of research team members will have access to the data during data collection. Identifying information will be stripped from the final dataset.

Limitation to Authorization to Utilize HWH Processes
HWH certified coach authorization to utilize the HWH processes and materials is limited to working with individuals in one-on-one training interactions with people over the age of 18, with the exception of relationship coach/mediation certified coaches, who may use the Happy Whole Human processes and materials to work with 2-4 people over the age of 18 in one-on-one and group sessions. Some interested graduates of the trainings may be invited to enroll in advanced training and obtain customized licenses to use content, so that they may administer HWH group processes such as retreats, workshops, and presentations. Dr. Leit and Zoilita Grant offer proprietary workshops and group initiatives, often involving aggregate reports with data scientist and software platform provider collaboration. Individuals who have not yet been trained and authorized to conduct mediations or provide any HWH services or HWH processes to groups are expressly forbidden to use any HWH or Colorado Coach (Zoilita Grant’s) copyrighted materials (including curriculum context from the individual assessments) or the Happy Whole Human name or marks in association with any group process. Working with more than one client in a facilitated group dynamic for one sponsor is considered an organizational initiative. Further, only expressly authorized individuals may provide services on behalf of HWH or as an agent of HWH. Specifically, the provision of services to groups by coaches who are not properly trained and authorized is expressly forbidden. Further, certified coaches are not permitted to hold themselves out as being spokespersons for or authorized agents of Dr. Leit or HWH. If you do wish to conduct group work or presentations using the HWH name, marks, logos, copyrighted material (in English or any other language), or processes, please contact Dr. Leit for discussion, approval, or collaboration. Failure to communicate and obtain guidance create liability for HWH, violate the terms of your agreements with HWH, and infringe on HWH’s trademarks and copyrights. Under the provisions of federal law, Title 15, United States Code, the owner of a trademark, copyright or trade secret may obtain various remedies in the courts for the infringement of its intellectual property rights. Among the remedies provided by law are injunctive relief, defendant’s profits, damages sustained by the plaintiff, costs of the action and, in appropriate cases, attorney fees. In the case of willful infringement, a plaintiff may also be entitled to attorney fees and enhanced monetary relief. If HWH determines at its sole discretion that another party is in breach and acting counter to good faith, they may receive a formal Cease & Desist letter. They may be liable for damages and financial remedies. Dedicated HWH Self-Assessment URLs or subaccounts will be deleted, and individuals in breach will not be publicized or promoted as a preferred HWH coach or facilitator. Additionally, certification credentials may be revoked. Individuals in breach will not be considered as a candidate for future HWH courses and trainings. Further, their social media accounts and online activities will be monitored going forward to ensure that they are complying with the terms of our agreements. In the event of any clear ethical violations, HWH may report behavior to the International Coach Federation and American Council for Hypnotist Examiners and suggest targeted ethics training or corrective action. Individuals certified as coaches by HWH are authorized to facilitate one-on-one training sessions using the HWH processes. Further, clients are free to access the HWH Holistic Wellness Self Assessment on the www.happywholehuman.com website.
​
Referral Commissions
Certified coaches may have potential students and clients, including organizations, contact HWH via email. And, current and former students will be eligible for a 20% commission for any referrals leading to business revenue to HWH. They may choose to offer 10% off to the client or student, and 10% as a referral commission, or any such combination in lieu of the entire 20% commission. HWH Certified Coaches who receive warm leads from HWH via their www.happywholehuman.coach profile, a direct referral, or an assessment respondent follow-up agree to pay 20% of their coaching fees from any coaching revenue for that engagement for 24 months. Additional contract work may fall under separate Scope of Work agreements, governed by the Contractor Master Terms and Conditions agreement.

Consistent with its extensive use and associated common law rights, HWH is the owner of U.S. Trademark Registration No. 4785,187 on the Principal Register for the mark HAPPY WHOLE HUMAN (the “Mark”) for the provision of holistic wellness services in International Class 44. The registration issued on August 4, 2015 and claims use of the mark in commerce since January 2014. In addition to the Mark, HWH uses the common law marks HWH and the HWH Logo mark. HAPPY WHOLE HUMAN, HWH and the HWH Logo are collectively referred to as the “HWH Marks.” Dr. Leit and HWH have expended considerable effort and expense in offering a wide range of quality services under the HWH Marks. As a result, the HWH Marks have become strongly identified by the public with HWH and HWH enjoys substantial goodwill and fame in the HWH Marks. That goodwill is extremely important to HWH, and it is important that HWH not permit the use of a name or mark by another that is likely to cause confusion as to possible approval or endorsement by or other connection with HWH that does not exist. It is equally important that HWH not permit use by another that will tend to harm or destroy the distinctiveness that the HWH Marks enjoy as exclusively designating HWH and its services. As a trademark owner, HWH consistently seeks to enforce its trademark rights against improper or unauthorized use or other infringement. Otherwise, HWH may risk losing certain trademark rights if it becomes aware of infringing activities and fails to protect its rights. In addition to its trademarks, HWH has also developed extensive training materials, processes, teaching techniques, client lists, business plans and other materials that are either protected by copyright laws or are proprietary trade secrets of HWH. Some of the HWH copyrighted materials are provided to clients and mentees on a confidential basis and in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth on the HWH website and in the agreements that are executed between HWH and its individual, group, and coaching clients. However, HWH’s business would be severely damaged if any of its copyrighted or confidential materials are used or distributed publicly without the approval or under the control of HWH. The HWH Terms & Conditions state that the content of the drlisaleit.com, happywholehuman.com, happywholehuman.coach, happywholehuman.business, and happywholehuman.institute websites are copyrighted by HWH and that use of such materials must be approved by HWH.
