Professional Qualifications & Limitations

The founder of Body Fluent Wellness, LLC is a New York State licensed physical therapist. However, services offered through Body Fluent Wellness, LLC as wellness coaching are provided exclusively in a nonclinical educational capacity.

Wellness coaching does not constitute physical therapy, psychotherapy, medical care, psychiatric treatment, medical nutrition therapy, or eating disorder treatment.

Body Fluent Wellness, LLC does not provide clinical examinations, diagnoses, rehabilitation, individualized therapeutic exercise prescriptions, psychological assessments, or treatment of medical, psychiatric, or eating disorders.

Participation in wellness coaching does not establish a physical therapist-patient or other clinical healthcare provider-patient relationship.

Client Eligibility & Medical Clearance

All clients seeking individual wellness coaching, whether in person, virtually, or through a hybrid arrangement, must satisfy the following requirements before services begin:

Medical Clearance: Provide written clearance from a licensed physician confirming that participation in the proposed wellness coaching activities is medically appropriate, including any relevant precautions or activity restrictions.

Concurrent Mental Health Treatment: Clients must provide verification of active, ongoing care with a licensed mental health professional unless the requirement is waived based on a written recommendation from the client's primary care physician or other appropriately qualified treating physician confirming that concurrent mental health treatment is not clinically indicated at the time of enrollment.

These requirements apply to all individual coaching clients, regardless of diagnosis, medical history, or reason for seeking services. Medical clearance does not guarantee medical stability or eliminate all risks associated with participation. Clients are expected to inform Body Fluent Wellness, LLC of relevant changes in their health status, medical restrictions, or concurrent mental health care.

Body Fluent Wellness, LLC may decline, postpone, suspend, or discontinue coaching services if eligibility requirements are not satisfied, additional medical clearance is needed, or a client's needs exceed the scope of nonclinical wellness coaching.

These requirements apply to individualized coaching and do not automatically apply to publicly available website content or self guided educational materials.
