Tax Policy

I hereby request and voluntarily consent to the performance of Ayurvedic Consultation and/or Therapy, counseling, and recommendations for myself by Practitioner(s) at Vande Wellness.

I understand that methods or therapies may include but are not limited to Ayurvedic Therapies, herbal recommendations, health counseling, and food counseling. Ayurvedic Medicine is a form of holistic health care that may include health and nutritional counseling as well as therapies that aim to address imbalances in the body and mind. I understand that Shirodhara, Panchakarma, and other service offerings are forms of natural Ayurvedic therapy that may be contraindicated under certain conditions, specifically improper digestion. I acknowledge these contraindications.

I understand that Ayurvedic Medicine is a safe method of addressing imbalances of the body-mind and their root cause but that may on occasion result in the temporary surfacing of uncomfortable emotions and/or sensations including changes in perceived body temperature, dizziness, tingling, pain, or numbness as the body-mind seeks a state of balance. I understand that these occurrences are a natural part of the process of the body-mind reaching a state of balance. I also understand that there is always a possibility of an unexpected complication. I understand that no guarantee can be made concerning the results of the therapy.

If Pregnant, I must notify the Practitioner immediately so that I can be informed of the possible risks and contraindications of therapy while pregnant.

I understand that the evaluation given to me is either an energetic assessment of the functioning of the Chakras and the energy state of the body according to the balance of the three doshas, their qualities (gunas), the dhatus (tissues), the srotas (channels), and the malas (wastes) of the body; the causal factors for imbalance (poorvarupa and rupa), and their course of imbalance (samprapti) according to Ayurvedic Medicine. It in no way purports to be nor replaces allopathic (western) medical evaluation, diagnosis, or treatment. I understand that the practitioner(s) at Vande Wellness are neither licensed physicians nor Medical Doctors and do not diagnose or treat medical conditions.

I have been advised to consult a licensed physician for any medical problems I may have and, in the event that I am receiving other conventional medical treatment, I have been advised to inform my physician of the proposed complementary therapies. In addition, I have been advised to consult a physician if a new symptom should arise. If there is a worsening of my ailment or condition or it does not improve within the time estimated by my practitioner, I am aware that I should consult a physician. I understand I am fully responsible for all decisions I make regarding whether and when to seek medical treatment.

I understand that I may refuse or stop therapies and consultations at any time. Individual experiences and diagnosing techniques may vary from person to person. Not all therapies and supplements are advisable for all clients. I have read, or have had read to me the contents of this consent in its entirety. I have also had an opportunity to ask questions about its content, and by signing below I agree to the above-named procedures. I intend this consent form to cover all interactions, consultations, courses, Therapies, and recommendations for my present condition and for any future condition(s) for which I may seek advice.
