1.3 Potential Benefits of Flow A Services. You may experience:

Reduced pain, tension, stress, and muscular holding patterns
Improved sleep, mood, energy, and nervous system resilience
Increased body awareness, embodied presence, and sense of safety
Greater clarity around your needs, limits, boundaries, and authentic desires
Enhanced capacity for presence, regulation, and authentic connection with self and others
Improved mobility, posture, and functional movement patterns
Enhanced relational and communication skills
Reduced anxiety and improved nervous system capacity
Greater sexual confidence, pleasure, and embodied presence (in some cases)

Results vary widely and cannot be guaranteed. You may experience some, all, or none of the potential benefits described. Your effort, participation, and practice outside of sessions significantly influence outcomes.

1.4 Potential Risks & Discomforts. Somatic, trauma-informed, yoga therapy, and relational work may involve discomfort or activation, including:

Physical Discomforts:

Temporary soreness, fatigue, or muscle strain (similar to post-workout soreness)
Delayed-onset muscle soreness (DOMS) occurring 24-48 hours after sessions
Mild bruising or sensitivity to touch
Temporary stiffness (especially after first few sessions)
Dizziness, lightheadedness, or disorientation (especially after breathwork)
Muscle twitching, tremoring, or involuntary responses
Headaches or jaw tension
Temporary exacerbation of existing pain or symptoms

Emotional & Somatic Activation:

Emotional activation (sadness, anger, fear, grief, numbness, joy)
Surfacing of memories, flashbacks, or sensations from past experiences
Strong somatic sensations (tingling, heat, cold, pressure, vibration)
Feelings of vulnerability or emotional intensity
Cathartic release or "emotional purging" (crying, shaking, involuntary sounds)
Temporary overwhelm if pacing exceeds your current capacity

Nervous System & Relational Activation:

Temporary nervous system activation or dysregulation
Dissociation or spacing out
Increased anxiety or panic-like sensations (especially early in trauma work)
Temporary irritability or emotional sensitivity
Sleep disruption or unusual dreams
Activation of relational patterns or attachment responses
Emotional sensitivity around intimacy or relationship topics

Important Context: These responses are NOT inherently harmful. They represent normal processing of trauma, tension, and patterns held in the body, and are often part of the healing process. However, these responses may feel intense, unfamiliar, or uncomfortable, particularly if pacing exceeds your current capacity. You are NOT required to "push through" discomfort. These responses are normal and often part of healing, but they may feel intense or unfamiliar. If activation occurs, communicate immediately so your provider can adjust pacing, pause, or stop.

☐ I acknowledge and understand the Potential Benefits and Risks of Flow A services.

Call your physician
Contact a mental health crisis line immediately

The Body Intuitive does NOT:

Diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease or medical condition
Prescribe medications
Substitute for professional medical or mental health care

While somatic therapy, yoga therapy, and bodywork may support wellness and nervous system regulation, they are NOT alternatives to professional medical or mental health care. You are strongly encouraged to maintain concurrent care with your licensed medical and mental health providers.

SECTION 3: TRAUMA-INFORMED TOUCH CONSENT

3.1 How We Ensure Your Safety. Your provider uses trauma-informed practices to keep you safe and in control:

Before the Provider Offers Touch:

We explain what we propose to do
We tell you which body areas will be involved
We explain the purpose of the technique
We ask for your explicit consent before starting any new touch or technique

During Your Session:

Your provider continuously checks in and receives feedback
You can change your mind at any time
Your provider watches for signs of overwhelm or distress
If we notice you're uncomfortable, we pause or stop — even if you don't say anything

3.2 Your Right to Consent & Revoke Consent. Consent is ongoing and can be withdrawn at any time. You can say:

"No"
"Stop"
"Less pressure" or "That's too much"
"Pause"

At any point, for any reason, without explanation or justification. Your provider will stop immediately. You do not need to justify your decision. Your choices about touch will never be used as punishment or retaliation and will not affect your access to services or pricing.

3.3 The Red-Yellow-Green Communication System. To support clear, real-time communication during sessions, you are educated on and encouraged to use this system:

GREEN = "This is good, this feels right, continue"

You feel comfortable, safe, and present in your body
The pressure, pace, and technique are working well
Your provider should continue with the current approach

YELLOW = "This is approaching my limit, slow down or check in"

You are feeling some discomfort, tension, or uncertainty
The pressure, pace, or technique is too much or not quite right
You want your provider to pause, reduce intensity, adjust, or check in

RED = "Stop or discontinue treatment immediately"

You are experiencing pain, overwhelm, dissociation, or distress
You want or need the technique or touch to stop immediately
There is no negotiation — your provider will stop right away

How to Use This System:

Speak your color at any time during your session
You can change colors as your experience changes (yellow can become green after an adjustment)
Your provider will honor your color call immediately, every time, without question or judgment
Using colors makes it easier to communicate, especially if verbal communication is challenging

Multi-Layered Communication System: Your provider watches for signs of discomfort in multiple ways:

Direct Communication: You tell your provider directly using the Red-Yellow-Green system or plain language
Non-Verbal Feedback: Body language, tensing, moving away, or other physical signals
Provider Observation: Your provider actively watches for signs of tension, discomfort, overwhelm, or dissociation
Proactive Provider Response: Your provider will pause or stop immediately if they observe signs of overwhelm or dissociation — even if you don't verbally ask

Your provider is trained to recognize these signs and will interrupt the session to check in or pause as needed.

3.4 Your Responsibilities for Touch Safety. To ensure your safety during somatic work:

Fully disclose all known physical conditions, injuries, medical diagnoses, medications, allergies, and sensitivities
Keep your provider updated on any changes to your health, injuries, medications, or relevant circumstances before each session
Inform your provider of any areas of your body that are sensitive, injured, or require modification
Communicate immediately during the session if you experience discomfort, concern, overwhelm, or anything that doesn't feel right (physically or emotionally)
Proactively share feedback about what is working and what is not so your provider can adjust in real time
Use the Red-Yellow-Green system or other clear language to express your needs and boundaries

☐ TOUCH PREFERENCE ACKNOWLEDGEMENT: I acknowledge understanding the Red-Yellow-Green Communication System and my right to revoke consent at any time. If I experience pain or discomfort during the session, I will immediately inform my provider (using the Red-Yellow-Green system or other direct communication) so that pressure, pacing, and techniques can be adjusted to my level of comfort.

SECTION 4: CONSENT TO RELATIONAL & INTIMACY COACHING

4.1 What Intimacy & Relationship Coaching Includes. If your Flow A services include intimacy and relationship coaching, you consent to:

Educational discussions about sexual health, pleasure, intimacy, and relationships
Somatic exploration exercises to increase body awareness and sensation (non-sexual, clothed)
Communication practice around needs, desires, and boundaries
Relational pattern exploration to understand your relational dynamics and patterns
Authenticity practices to support genuine self-expression in relationships

4.2 What Intimacy Coaching Does NOT Include. You understand that:

These services are educational and supportive, NOT clinical sex therapy
No sexual acts or genital touch will occur during sessions
Services are designed for individual clients only (not couples)
The Coach is NOT a licensed therapist and cannot diagnose or treat sexual dysfunction
If your needs involve couple's work or specialized sexual health treatment, referral to an appropriate licensed provider will be offered

4.3 Contraindications for Intimacy Coaching. Intimacy coaching may not be appropriate if you:

Are currently in an active abusive or traumatic relationship
Have severe sexual dysfunction requiring licensed sex therapy or medical evaluation
Have untreated trauma-related diagnoses that require specialized mental health treatment
Are experiencing active suicidal ideation or self-harm urges
Are unable to provide informed consent due to severe psychiatric instability
Have conditions requiring specialized clinical treatment beyond coaching scope

If you have any of these conditions, consult your physician or mental health provider before engaging in intimacy coaching.

☐ I understand the scope of intimacy and relationship coaching and confirm I have no contraindications, or I have consulted with a healthcare provider and received clearance.
