If you have a medical condition or mental health concern, or questions about whether a particular workshop is appropriate for you, consult a qualified healthcare professional before participating. Do not disregard professional medical advice or delay seeking professional care based on information obtained through this websites or workshops.
While I strive to provide accurate and up-to-date information, I cannot guarantee that the information is complete, current, or suitable for your individual circumstances.

You are solely responsible for deciding whether to participate in any practice or exercise and for modifying or discontinuing an activity when needed. Consult a qualified medical professional if you have concerns about the suitability of any practices for your own health or physical condition.
You understand that workshops and classes may include guidance in movements, breathwork, relaxation, and stress education. You acknowledge that movement, breathwork, and other practices carry inherent risks, including physical discomfort, bodily injury, or other adverse effects.
You voluntarily assume and accept the risks associated with your participation, including risks that may arise from the physical activities or practices involved.

Personal information collected during workshop registration will be used only to administer the workshop and communicate relevant information. Your information will not be shared with third parties except where required or permitted by law.
Confidentiality During Coaching Sessions and Workshops
During coaching sessions and workshops, Brigitte Lause – Coaching & Consulting may take handwritten notes solely to support the sessions and keep track of practices, goals, and relevant progress. These notes are stored securely and treated as confidential.
I do not use AI tools for note-taking or any other client-related purposes. AI features are disabled in my Zoom account to support the confidentiality of our sessions.
Information shared during coaching sessions and workshops will be treated as confidential. However, confidentiality may be subject to legal exceptions, including circumstances involving an imminent risk of harm to yourself or others, suspected abuse or neglect where disclosure is required by law, valid court orders, or other legal obligations.
Clients may request the destruction of the handwritten coaching notes at any time, subject to any applicable legal or record-keeping obligations.
Participation and Group Confidentiality
Creating a respectful, supportive learning environment is important. Participants are expected to treat one another with kindness, confidentiality, and respect.
Workshops may include opportunities to share personal experiences at the beginning or end of a session. These are voluntary and optional and are not required for participation. You are responsible for deciding what personal information you choose to share and for recognizing that sharing personal experiences may involve feelings of vulnerability.
Because workshops often take place in group settings, confidentiality cannot be guaranteed. Other participants may hear or learn personal information that you share. Please exercise discretion when sharing personal information and respect the privacy of other participants by not disclosing their personal information outside the group.
Coaching, workshops and courses are educational and experiential in nature. They are not a replacement for psychotherapy or personalized mental health treatment. Participants are invited to engage at their own pace. You are always welcome to modify, pause, or decline any exercise.
