TERMS & CONDITIONS

These terms and conditions ("Agreement") govern the provision of coaching services ("Coaching Services") by The Pleasure Practice LLC ("we," "us," or "our") to individuals ("you" or "Client"). By engaging in the Coaching Services, you agree to be bound by these terms and conditions.

​

1. Scope of Services

1.1   The Pleasure Practice LLC (“we,” “us,” or “our”) provides coaching, educational, and experiential services (“Coaching Services”), which may include individual or group sessions, workshops, retreats, and digital offerings. The scope and structure of these services will be agreed upon between you (“Client”) and us. We will provide all Coaching Services in a professional and timely manner, consistent with our expertise and ethical standards.

​

1.2  While confidentiality is respected to the fullest extent possible, coaching is not subject to HIPAA or psychotherapy confidentiality laws. Information shared in coaching sessions will not be disclosed without your consent, except as required by law (e.g., risk of harm to self or others, suspected abuse, or court order). You understand that electronic communications (email, text, video) may not be encrypted, and you assume responsibility for the confidentiality risks associated with these methods.

​

2. Client Responsibilities

2.1   You are responsible for actively engaging in the Coaching Services, setting goals, and completing any assigned tasks or exercises. You understand that the success of the coaching process depends on your commitment, openness, and willingness to take action.

​

2.2   You acknowledge that coaching is not a substitute for psychotherapy, diagnosis, or medical treatment. Although Dr. Nicole Thompson is a psychotherapist, she serves solely as a coach in this context. You are solely responsible for your own physical, emotional, and mental well-being during and after participation in Coaching Services.​

​

3. Fees and Payment

3.1   Fees for Coaching Services will be communicated prior to the start of the coaching relationship. A 3.3% processing fee will be applied to all transactions. Payment or an approved payment plan is required at the time of booking. Cancellations require at least 24 hours’ notice; otherwise, the full session fee will be charged. For group programs, all payments are final, even if you discontinue participation before the program’s completion.

​

By making a payment, you authorize The Pleasure Practice LLC to process transactions electronically and to store your payment information securely for ongoing billing as agreed.

​

3.2   All fees are non-refundable, unless otherwise stated in writing or as required by law. 

​

4. Psychedelic Coaching Sessions

4.1 Individual and partner psychedelic liberation packages are structured as a minimum of 16 weeks (3 preparation sessions, 6 journey sessions for two hours, and 9 integration sessions). This minimum ensures adequate depth, continuity, and integration within the coaching process.

​

4.2 The psychedelic packages must be completed within twelve (12) months from the date of the first session. Any remaining sessions not used within that timeframe will expire and cannot be refunded, credited, or transferred.

​

4.3 By enrolling in psychedelic liberation, you agree to this minimum commitment and to complete payment for all 18 sessions.

​

4.4 If you choose to discontinue individual or partnership psychedelic liberation coaching before completing the eighteen sessions, any unused sessions are forfeited and non-refundable.

​

5. Group Programs and Deposits

5.1 Enrollment in a group program offered by The Pleasure Practice LLC (including but not limited to the Pleasure Liberation series) represents a commitment to the full sixteen- (16-) week experience. Spaces are intentionally limited to preserve the depth of the work. Once registration is confirmed through a deposit, you agree to complete payment for the full program according to the selected plan.

​

5.2 Because preparation begins well in advance and your space cannot be filled by another participant after enrollment, all deposits and payments are non-refundable and non-transferable. Missed sessions cannot be rescheduled, credited, or refunded.

​

5.3 The Pleasure Practice LLC does not provide monetary refunds under any circumstances. However, at the sole discretion of Dr. Nicole Thompson, a portion of the funds already paid may be applied as credit toward future individual coaching sessions in cases of documented emergencies or significant life events. Any such accommodations are voluntary and do not alter the non-refundable nature of the agreement or create precedent for future cases.

​

6. Intellectual Property

6.1   All materials, resources, and intellectual property provided to you during the Coaching Services are for your personal use only. You may not reproduce, distribute, modify, or create derivative works of the materials without our prior written consent.

​

7. Limitation of Liability

7.1   The Coaching Services are provided on an "as-is" basis. We make no warranties or representations, express or implied, regarding the results or outcomes of the Coaching Services.

​

7.2   Coaching Services are provided on an “as-is” basis. We make no guarantees, expressed or implied, regarding specific outcomes or results. You acknowledge that participation in coaching, somatic, or experiential practices is voluntary and may involve physical or emotional discomfort. You agree to assume all risks associated with your participation and release The Pleasure Practice LLC and Dr. Nicole Thompson from any and all claims or liabilities arising from your engagement in Coaching Services.

​

8. Termination

8.1   Either party may terminate the coaching relationship at any time, with or without cause, by providing written notice. Termination does not relieve you of financial obligations for session minimums, services already rendered, or for group programs paid in full. For group programs, all payments remain final even if participation ends early.

​

​

9. Governing Law

9.1   This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Illinois. Any dispute arising out of or related to this Agreement shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Cook County, Illinois.

​

9.2   Any disputes arising out of or in connection with this Agreement shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the jurisdiction of The Pleasure Practice, LLC.

​

10. Electronic Signatures

10.1 Electronic signatures, typed names, or digitally timestamped acknowledgments are considered equivalent to handwritten signatures for the purposes of this Agreement.
