“Give yourself the legal foundation you need to thrive and make a lasting impact in the wellness world.”
As
Integrative Health Practitioners, your passion drives you to empower others, but safeguarding your entrepreneurial journey is equally important. As a health coach, you operate in a semi-unregulated industry that brings many layers of risk. As you dive into the online world to market your business, you’re opening yourself up to more legal issues.
Creating a solid legal foundation is essential and allows you to move forward and build your business without stress!
But you also don’t want to do this with generic legal agreements that aren’t specific to health coaches! That’s why we partnered with
Law Is Fun. Their legal agreements are written specifically for Health Coaches and speak to the nuances of our industry, so you can be confident you’re covered for all risks!

All the essentials and bonuses are included in the New Health Coaching Package, with an added Community Membership Agreement. For those looking to create an online community to move beyond 1-on-1 coaching!
Everything is included in the Complete Online Health Coaching Package, PLUS an Online Course Agreement, for those going all out in the online world who plan on creating and selling online courses.
What Legal Agreements Does Every Health Coach Need?
The three health coaching packages mentioned above include all the agreements below.
Your coaching journey involves handling personal information. The Privacy Policy + Terms & Conditions establish clear guidelines for data protection, forming trust between you and your clients. It ensures you're compliant with privacy laws while demonstrating your commitment to professionalism. Every website in the world requires these agreements.
In the world of health coaching, unexpected twists can arise. The Waiver of Liability acts as your legal armor, protecting you from potential claims stemming from client injuries or dissatisfaction. It's your safety net, allowing you to focus on guiding clients toward wellness without worrying about them suing you because of the advice you gave them.
Communication is key in coaching. The Disclaimer document lays out the scope of your services, ensuring clients understand what you can – and can't provide. It sets the stage for a smooth coaching relationship where both parties are on the same page.
The Service Agreement solidifies your professional commitments. It outlines your services, fees, and other critical details, ensuring a mutual understanding and a seamless working relationship.
These are five essentials if you’re just getting started…but most of you will ALSO be diving into social media, affiliate marketing, and sharing testimonials. The below agreements are BONUSES and included in all three above packages.
If you're engaged in affiliate marketing, the
Affiliate Disclaimer adds an extra layer of transparency. It discloses any potential financial relationships, cementing your credibility and trustworthiness. It’s legally required if you’re making a commission on recommendations for other companies' products.
Your online presence matters. The
Social Media Disclaimer clarifies your role, preventing misconceptions about your content's purpose. This ensures that if someone follows the “advice” or education you put out on social media, you aren’t going to get in trouble.
Non-Disclosure Agreement
Trust is the cornerstone of coaching. The Non-Disclosure Agreement ensures confidential discussions remain just that – confidential. It establishes a safe space but is also used if you work with
contractors or
employees and want to keep your business workings private!
One of the most powerful ways to build new business and get coaching clients is to share testimonials. It’s a core part of most marketing plans! But if you haven’t signed a Media Release, you won’t legally be able to use or post their testimonial! Make sure to have this signed so you can promote away!
Conclusion
Health coaching-specific legal agreements ensure your protection to build your coaching business stress-free. With these legal packages, you can dedicate your energy to your true calling – guiding clients to their best, healthiest selves.
Give yourself the legal foundation you need to thrive and make a lasting impact in the wellness world.
