Coaching/Training Agreement

Coaching is a collaborative, conversational process in which the Coach supports the Client in accessing their inner wisdom, clarifying goals, and taking meaningful action toward the life they want to live. Coaching does not involve diagnosing, treating, or providing clinical care for any condition.

Training refers to the structured introduction of specific skills, frameworks, and tools—including but not limited to psychic hygiene, temperament work, the Mandala of Life, the patterns and dynamics associated with the Client's Mythic Path, embodied awareness, aesthetic perception, personal mythology work, and mind-body integration techniques. Training sessions are educational and designed to give the Client practices they can apply on their own.

Coaching and Training may be combined within a single session or package, and both are governed by the terms of this Agreement.

The services provided are a combination of Coaching and Training as defined above and do not include therapy or counseling. Sessions may address specific personal projects, health and wellness goals, relationship dynamics, business experiences, or general conditions in the Client's personal or professional life.

Coaching is an alliance between Coach and Client designed to empower the Client to make the choices and take the actions necessary to manifest the life they want to live. After completing a chosen coaching program, the Client may start a new coaching package or continue sessions as needed for an additional per-session fee.

The Coach will keep all information the Client provides strictly confidential, as allowed by law. Throughout the working relationship, the Coach will have direct, personal conversations with the Client. The Client can count on the Coach to be honest and straightforward in asking questions and making requests.

The Client understands that they are responsible for doing the work necessary to move the coaching sessions forward. If either the Client or Coach believes the coaching/training is not working as desired, either party will communicate that immediately so they can make adjustments to optimize the relationship. If adjustment is not possible, this Agreement will be terminated, and the Coach will refund the unused portion of the coaching fee—based on the number of remaining sessions, less the $500 cost of provided resources (4 mini-workbooks and 5 charts)—within 30 days of termination.

, recognize that the work done with Gary Jobe Ferguson does not involve the diagnosis, treatment, alleviation, mitigation, prevention, or care of any condition or disease of any kind in any way. However, I reserve the right to use knowledge gained from my coaching/training sessions for my mental, emotional, and physical well-being.

I agree to consult my regular medical doctor about any changes to my treatment for any new or existing conditions. I understand that this coaching/training process is not a substitute for medical or mental health care, and I confirm that I can currently participate fully and safely. If I have any health condition—physical, emotional, or otherwise—that could affect my participation, I have discussed this with my healthcare provider and been advised that I may proceed without risk.

If I am currently undergoing treatment for emotional or physical trauma, I agree to discuss my participation in this program with my healthcare practitioner to determine its appropriateness for me at this time. I take responsibility for informing any primary care physician I am currently working with that I am involved in a coaching/training relationship. I agree to promptly advise the Coach of any change in these physical, emotional, or mental health representations.

I agree that, in the event of any claim or grievance by me against Gary Jobe Ferguson or Ferguson Mind-Body Arts, my sole remedy will be the return of fees paid to Gary Jobe Ferguson or Ferguson Mind-Body Arts. Gary Jobe Ferguson is not responsible for any direct, indirect, incidental, or consequential damages beyond the total amount of fees paid by the Client.

If I am doing in-person coaching/training sessions, I understand that Gary uses kinesiology (muscle testing) and other energy release techniques as session tools. By signing this Agreement, I am consenting to the physical touch necessary to conduct these techniques, and I take full responsibility for alerting the Coach if I am uncomfortable with any part of the process at any time.

To begin the coaching process, I agree to take the Mythic Path Profile online at garyjobeferguson.com. I will also provide a completed information form and a picture of myself taken in the past 24 hours (from the waist up, with no other people or pets in the picture, no electronic devices within three feet of my body, no jewelry, and wearing comfortable clothing). I understand that this will be used for Gary’s pre-session energy scans.

Upon receipt of those items, Gary will contact me to schedule my first session. Sessions are scheduled weekly or bi-weekly (every other week) and may be conducted via Zoom or phone. I may request a 15-minute check-in call between sessions, based on mutual availability.

I understand that I am responsible for completing the required feedback forms before each session and returning them to Gary at least 24 hours in advance. If Gary does not receive the completed forms in time, he may reschedule that appointment.

All coaching and personal development materials received from Gary are for personal use only and are not to be shared or disseminated under any circumstances.

Session recordings are securely stored on Dropbox and retained for 30 days following each session, after which they are deleted. Clients who wish to retain a copy of their recording should download it within this 30-day window. Only the Coach and the Client can access recordings.

Note: While we do our best to record every session, technical issues can occasionally prevent a recording from being saved. If this happens, Gary will provide a session overview document with key information and takeaways, so you don't miss anything important. This doesn't affect the value of Gary’s coaching and isn't grounds for a full or partial refund. You'll need your own Dropbox account to download your recordings.

If, for any reason, I am unable to make a scheduled appointment, I must cancel at least 24 hours before the scheduled appointment time. If I cancel less than 24 hours in advance, I may be charged 50% of the session fee. If I fail to show up for a scheduled appointment without notice, I may lose that session and its associated fee.

If Gary needs to reschedule a session, he will notify the Client as soon as possible and offer the next available time.
