Practice Policy

🌿 Client Consent, Waiver, & Release of Liability
Please read carefully

​

By choosing to book and receive services at Eve’s Garden Wellness, you acknowledge and agree to the following guidelines and terms of care:

​

🌿 Acknowledgment of Holistic Care

I understand that services provided by Eve’s Garden Wellness—including but not limited to naturopathic consultations, postpartum doula support, breastfeeding support, bodywork, placenta services, ionic foot detox, energy work, and educational guidance (collectively, “Services”)—are holistic and complementary in nature.

These services are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease, nor are they a substitute for medical care from a licensed physician.

​

I acknowledge that I have been encouraged to seek care from a qualified medical provider for any medical concerns.

 

🌿 Assumption of Risk

I understand that while services are gentle and intended to support the body’s natural healing processes, there may be inherent risks, including but not limited to:

• Temporary discomfort, emotional release, or detoxification responses

• Fatigue, soreness, or mild physical reactions

• Reactions to herbs, essential oils, or natural remedies

• Unexpected outcomes due to underlying or unknown conditions

​

I voluntarily assume full responsibility for any risks, known or unknown, associated with my participation in Services.

 

🌿 Release of Liability

I hereby release, waive, and hold harmless Eve’s Garden Wellness, its owner Courtney Barber, and any affiliated practitioners from any and all claims, liabilities, damages, or causes of action arising from my participation in Services.

​

This includes any injury, discomfort, or outcome that may occur, except in cases of gross negligence or unlawful conduct.

​

This agreement is binding upon myself, my heirs, and legal representatives.

​

🌿 Client Responsibility

I acknowledge that:

• I am responsible for openly communicating my health history, concerns, and any changes in my condition

• I will inform my practitioner of any medications, diagnoses, or sensitivities

• I understand that results are not guaranteed

• I am responsible for following through with recommendations at my own discretion

​

​

🌿Scheduling Notice (24-Hour Bookings)

• To ensure your appointment is properly received and honored, any services scheduled within 24 hours require direct confirmation. Please contact Courtney by phone to confirm your booking.

• Appointments made within 24 hours without direct communication may not be guaranteed.

 

🌿 Pregnancy & Postpartum Care

If I am pregnant or postpartum, I acknowledge that I am receiving supportive, non-medical care. I understand that I am responsible for maintaining care with my chosen medical provider (OB, midwife, etc.) and will seek medical attention when necessary.

 

🌿Doula Availability & On-Call Commitment

Eve’s Garden Wellness is committed to providing continuous, compassionate doula support and makes every good faith effort to attend all scheduled births.

​

However, due to the unpredictable nature of labor and birth, as well as unforeseen circumstances (including but not limited to rapid labor progression, illness, family emergencies, or circumstances beyond control), attendance at every birth cannot be guaranteed.

​

In the event that I am unable to attend your birth, a qualified backup doula will be arranged whenever possible to provide support in alignment with your birth preferences.

By booking doula services, you acknowledge and accept that while every effort is made to ensure coverage, attendance is not guaranteed. This does not constitute a breach of contract and does not qualify for a refund.

​

🌿 Media Release (Optional)

I grant permission for Eve’s Garden Wellness to use photos, testimonials, or shared experiences for educational or promotional purposes. No identifying information will be used without consent.

​

🌿 Payment & Policies

• All services must be scheduled and paid according to practice policies.

• Services are paid for at the time of booking

• No-shows or late cancellations may be subject to fees if a 24 hour notice is not given.

• Certain services may require deposits or retainers

 

🌿 Governing Law

This agreement shall be governed in accordance with the laws of the State of Michigan. If any portion of this agreement is deemed unenforceable, all remaining portions shall remain in full effect.
