TERMS & CONDITIONS
These Terms & Conditions apply to services, programmes, retreats, workshops and other offerings provided by Sharon Burkey through this website.
By booking or purchasing a service, you agree to these Terms & Conditions.
1. About Sharon Burkey
Sharon Burkey provides coaching, education, nervous-system work, somatic practices, workshops, retreats and related services for women.
The work draws on specialist therapeutic experience, nervous-system and somatic understanding, relational work, emotional intelligence, coaching, embodied practice and education.
The specific service you purchase will be described on the relevant page of this website.
2. Booking and payment
Payment is required at the time of booking unless a different payment arrangement has been agreed with you in advance.
Your booking is confirmed once payment has been received.
Prices are shown in pounds sterling and are the prices applicable at the time of purchase.
If there is an obvious error in a price or description, Sharon reserves the right to correct the error and contact you before proceeding with the booking.
For services where a date and time are arranged after payment, Sharon will contact you using the details you provide to arrange your appointment.
3. Personalised Nervous System Mapping
Personalised Nervous System Mapping is a standalone 90-minute session.
It provides an individualised assessment and understanding of your nervous-system behaviour, baseline, responses and breathing patterns.
The session is educational and supportive in nature. It is not a medical diagnosis and does not replace medical care, psychiatric care or specialist therapeutic treatment where that is required.
You are free to take the information from your mapping session away and use it independently. You do not have to continue into coaching.
If you choose to continue into one-to-one coaching, the mapping may provide useful information to inform that work, but it is not a requirement for booking coaching.
4. One-to-one coaching
One-to-one coaching is provided through agreed coaching packages.
The details of your package, including the number and length of sessions, price and any agreed additional support, will be confirmed before you begin.
Coaching is not a substitute for medical, psychiatric or specialist therapeutic treatment.
If it becomes clear that coaching is not the appropriate form of support for your needs, Sharon may recommend that you seek additional or alternative professional support.
5. Programmes and courses
Details of individual programmes and courses, including dates, format, content, price and what is included, will be provided on the relevant programme page.
Where a programme involves live group sessions, you are responsible for attending the sessions at the stated times or accessing any recording or material provided afterwards, where applicable.
Programme content is provided for your personal use and must not be copied, reproduced, shared, distributed or resold without written permission.
6. Retreats
Retreat bookings are subject to the specific booking terms provided for the retreat.
Those terms will include the retreat dates, location, price, payment arrangements, what is included and the applicable cancellation policy.
Because retreats involve advance commitments to accommodation, venues and other suppliers, cancellation terms may differ from those applying to individual coaching or mapping sessions.
Please read the retreat-specific terms before booking.
7. Cancelling or changing an appointment
If you need to cancel or change an individual appointment, please contact Sharon as soon as possible.
For individual sessions, cancellations made with at least 24 hours' notice can be rescheduled or refunded.
Cancellations made with less than 24 hours' notice may be charged in full, except where Sharon agrees that exceptional circumstances apply.
If Sharon needs to cancel or reschedule a session, you will be offered an alternative appointment or a refund where appropriate.
8. Refunds
Your statutory consumer rights are not affected by these Terms & Conditions.
Where a refund is agreed, it will normally be made using the original payment method.
Some services may have specific cancellation or refund terms. Where this applies, those terms will be provided before you purchase.
Nothing in these Terms & Conditions is intended to remove or restrict any legal rights you have as a consumer.
9. Your responsibility
You are responsible for providing accurate information when booking and for letting Sharon know about anything relevant to your participation in a service.
You are also responsible for deciding whether a particular service is appropriate for you.
If you have a medical condition, are receiving medical or psychiatric treatment, are taking medication, or have concerns about your physical or psychological wellbeing, you should seek appropriate professional advice where necessary.
You should not use the information provided through this website or through coaching, education, nervous-system work or breathwork as a substitute for professional medical advice.
10. Breathwork and somatic practices
Some services may include breathing practices, nervous-system practices, movement, body awareness or other somatic exercises.
These practices are offered with care and appropriate guidance. However, individual responses can vary.
You should work within your own limits and stop a practice if you feel unwell, uncomfortable or concerned about your response.
Where appropriate, you may be advised to seek medical advice before participating in particular practices.
11. Results
Sharon does not guarantee any particular outcome from coaching, education, nervous-system work, mapping, breathwork, programmes or retreats.
The work is designed to provide education, understanding, support and practical approaches that may help you make changes in your life.
Your circumstances, participation, choices and responses will influence your experience of the work.
12. Confidentiality
Sharon will treat information shared during individual work with appropriate care and confidentiality, subject to legal and professional obligations.
Group programmes, workshops and retreats are different. While participants are expected to respect the privacy of other participants, Sharon cannot guarantee that information shared by another participant will remain confidential.
You should therefore use your own judgement about what personal information you choose to share in a group setting.
13. Intellectual property
All materials provided by Sharon, including written materials, recordings, exercises, workbooks, audio, video, teaching content and other resources, remain the intellectual property of Sharon Burkey unless otherwise stated.
Materials are provided for your personal use only.
You may not reproduce, copy, distribute, publish, sell or share them with others without written permission.
14. Website content
Sharon takes reasonable care to ensure that information on this website is accurate and up to date.
However, information may change and occasional errors or omissions may occur.
Sharon reserves the right to update services, prices, content, availability and website information where necessary.
15. Third-party websites and services
This website may contain links to third-party websites or services.
These websites are outside Sharon's control and Sharon is not responsible for their content, availability, security or privacy practices.
You should read the terms and privacy policies of any third-party service you use.
16. Limitation of liability
Nothing in these Terms & Conditions excludes or limits liability where doing so would be unlawful.
Subject to this, Sharon will not be responsible for losses that could not reasonably have been anticipated or for circumstances outside her reasonable control.
Nothing in these Terms & Conditions affects your statutory rights as a consumer.
17. Privacy
Personal information is handled in accordance with Sharon's Privacy Policy.
Please read the Privacy Policy for information about what personal information is collected, why it is collected, how it is used and your rights in relation to your information.
18. Changes to these Terms
Sharon may update these Terms & Conditions from time to time.
The version applying to your purchase will be the version in effect when you book or purchase the relevant service, unless a change is required by law.
