Code of Ethics 

2. Commitment to Do No Harm

I will conduct an appropriate intake process for each client, rule out contraindications, and determine appropriate session adaptations. If I see signs of, or suspect, an undiagnosed condition that Family Constellations may be inappropriate for, I will refer that client to a physician, psychotherapist, or other qualified health care professional.  

3. Commitment to Honest Representation of Qualifications

I will not work outside the commonly accepted scope of practice for Bodywork, Energy Healing, Family Constellations, and Life Coaching. I will carefully evaluate each client's needs and refer them to another provider if they require work beyond my capabilities or the professional scope of practice. I will not use the trademarks and symbols associated with a particular system or group without authentic affiliation. I will acknowledge the limitations of my healing practices by refraining from exaggerating the benefits throughout my marketing.

4. Commitment to Uphold the Inherent Worth of All Individuals

I will demonstrate compassion, respect, and tolerance for others. I will seek to decrease discrimination, misunderstandings, and prejudice. I understand there are situations when it is appropriate to decline service to a client because it is in the best interests of a client's health, or for my personal safety, but I will not refuse service to any client based on disability, ethnicity, gender, marital status, physical build, sexual orientation, religious, national, or political affiliation or social or economic status.

5. Commitment to Respect Client Dignity and Basic Rights

I will demonstrate my respect for the dignity and rights of all individuals by providing a compassionate and safe environment, giving clients recourse in the event of dissatisfaction with treatment, and upholding the integrity of the therapeutic relationship.

6. Commitment to Informed Consent

I will recognize a client's right to determine what happens to their body, mind, and spirit. I understand that a client may suffer emotional and physical harm if a practitioner fails to listen to them and imposes their own beliefs on a situation. I will fully inform my clients of their care options. I will not provide Family Constellation Therapy without obtaining a client's informed consent (or that of the client's guardian or advocate) to the session plan. 

7. Commitment to Confidentiality

I will keep client communication and information confidential and will not share client information without the client's written consent, within the limits of the law. I will ensure every effort is made to respect a client's right to privacy and provide an environment where personal health-related details cannot be overheard or seen by others. 

I will also respect the confidentiality of everyone involved in my Bodywork, Energy Healing, Family Constellations, and Life Coaching practice. I will not divulge any information shared by the individual or a representative without the individual's permission. 

8. Commitment to Personal and Professional Boundaries

I will refrain from and prevent behaviors that may be considered inappropriate in my professional practice and uphold the highest standards. I will not date a client, engage in sexual relations with a client, or allow any level of sexual impropriety (behavior or language) from clients or myself. I understand that sexual impropriety may lead to sexual harassment charges, loss of this certification, lawsuits for personal damages, criminal charges, fines, attorney's fees, court costs, and jail time. 

9. Commitment to Professionalism

I will maintain clear and honest communication with clients and colleagues. I will not use recreational drugs or alcohol before or during constellation sessions. I will project a professional image through my behavior and personal appearance, in keeping with the highest standards of the Bodywork, Energy Healing, Family Constellations, and Transformational Life Coaching professions. I will not actively seek to take someone else's clients, disrespect a client or colleague, or willingly malign another practitioner or other allied professional. I will actively promote the Bodywork, Energy Healing, Family Constellations, and Life Coaching professions by committing to self-development and continually building my professional skills.
