Supporting Your Journey to Lasting Transformation
Mutual Confidentiality and Non-Disclosure Agreement
This Mutual Confidentiality and Non-Disclosure Agreement (“Agreement”) is entered into between Sacred Journey Hypnotherapy (“Company”), and the participating client (“Client”). Services are delivered by the Company’s practitioner, Enjolique LeMaitre, Certified Hypnotherapist (“Practitioner”).
This Agreement sets mutual expectations for privacy, confidentiality, discretion, and the protection of sensitive information shared during hypnotherapy, consultation, and related services.
1. Purpose
The Company provides hypnotherapy, guided relaxation, personal development support, and related services. These may involve sensitive personal, emotional, financial, relational, health-related, spiritual, or business matters. Both parties agree to maintain strict confidentiality and professional discretion regarding information shared during sessions and related communications.
2. Company Confidentiality Commitment
The Company and Practitioner will keep confidential all Client information, including identity, client status, intake answers, session content, notes, recordings, and communications. The Company will not confirm, deny, or discuss whether any person is a client.
3. Limits of Confidentiality
The Company may disclose Client information only:
- With the Client’s written authorization;
- When reasonably necessary to prevent imminent harm to the Client or others;
- When required by law, court order, or subpoena;
- When required by mandatory reporting obligations, including suspected abuse or neglect of a child or vulnerable adult; or
- To the limited extent needed for professional compliance, insurance, or legal advice, under a duty of confidentiality.
Any disclosure will be limited to the minimum information necessary.
4. Client Non-Disclosure Obligations
In consideration of receiving services, the Client agrees to keep confidential the Company’s proprietary methods, techniques, scripts, frameworks, exercises, materials, processes, private communications, and business practices shared during services.
The Client agrees not to record sessions without the Company’s written permission, and not to publicly disclose confidential communications or session details.
5. Intellectual Property and Recordings
All hypnotherapy scripts, materials, recordings, meditations, educational content, and related materials are the intellectual property of Sacred Journey Hypnotherapy unless otherwise stated in writing.
Personalized session recordings provided to the Client are licensed for the Client’s personal, non-commercial use only. The Client may not share, publish, sell, or distribute them.
6. Social Media, Public Disclosure, and Testimonials
The Client agrees not to publicly disclose confidential session details, methods, or private communications without authorization.
The Company will not publicly identify the Client without consent. Testimonials are used only with the Client’s written consent, by first name or initials only unless the Client agrees otherwise. They reflect the Client’s personal experience and are not presented as typical or guaranteed results. The Client may withdraw consent for future use at any time.
7. Records and Information Security
Client records are used only to prepare for and support the Client’s services. Records are stored securely, with access limited to the Practitioner and authorized personnel under a duty of confidentiality. Sessions are held by video conference; the Client is responsible for the privacy of their own location and devices during sessions.
8. Mutual Respect
Hypnotherapy relies on trust, emotional safety, discretion, and professional boundaries. Both parties agree to communicate respectfully and professionally and to avoid harassment, intimidation, retaliation, or defamatory conduct.
9. Scope of Services
The Practitioner is a certified hypnotherapist, not a licensed medical or mental-health provider. Hypnotherapy is not a substitute for licensed medical, psychiatric, psychological, legal, or emergency care, and it does not diagnose, treat, or cure any condition. No specific outcome is guaranteed.
The Client remains aware and in control during sessions and may pause, redirect, or end a session at any time. Participation is voluntary. Where needs exceed the scope of hypnotherapy, the Client will be encouraged to seek appropriately licensed support.
10. Term of Confidentiality
The confidentiality obligations in this Agreement survive the end of services and remain in effect indefinitely, unless otherwise required by law.
11. Remedies
Unauthorized disclosure of confidential information may cause reputational, emotional, business, or other harm. In the event of a breach, the non-breaching party may pursue remedies available under applicable law.
12. Governing Law
This Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of North Carolina.
13. Severability
If any part of this Agreement is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions stay in full effect.
14. Entire Agreement
This Agreement is the entire understanding between the parties regarding confidentiality and privacy for services provided by Sacred Journey Hypnotherapy. It replaces any earlier version for future bookings. The Company may update this Agreement for future bookings; the version in effect at booking applies.
15. Acceptance
The Client accepts this Agreement by checking the acknowledgment box when booking and by participating in services. Acceptance is recorded with the booking date.
