1. Nature of Services

I understand that energy alignment services are rooted in The L.O.V.E. NOW Method™ and are designed to promote self-regulation, emotional balance, resilience, clarity, personal leadership, embodiment, and overall well-being. 

Services are grounded in the scientific fields of:

⚫Neuroscience (brain–body integration, neural patterning)
⚫Polyvagal Theory (nervous system states and regulation)
⚫Somatic Psychology (embodied awareness and emotional integration)
⚫Trauma Science (trauma-informed nervous system support)
⚫Psychophysiology (stress response + vagal tone)
⚫Bioenergetics (breath, energy flow, and physiological/emotional release)

I agree to participate at my own pace, and I may pause or stop at any time. Services may include:

⚫Conscious or connected breathwork
⚫Somatic and nervous-system-based practices
⚫Energy flow alignment techniques
⚫Subtle body guidance (chakras, meridians, energetic centers)
⚫Emotional release tools
⚫Coaching around leadership, self-regulation, and purpose
⚫Guided visualization or inner inquiry

2. Energy Alignment Services Do Not Replace Medical or Mental Health Treatment

I understand and agree that:

⚫Energy alignment services are not intended to diagnose, treat, or cure any medical or mental health condition.
⚫They complement mental health or medical services; they do not replace them.
⚫Jody Marquis is not acting as a licensed physician, therapist, or medical provider.
⚫I am responsible for seeking licensed medical or therapeutic support when needed.
⚫I will disclose any relevant health conditions so the work remains safe and appropriate.

3. Voluntary Participation

I understand and agree that I voluntarily choose to receive energy alignment services and that I may withdraw at any time. I agree to disclose any conditions that may require precaution.

4. Possible Short-Term Effects of Somatic and Energy Clearing Work

I understand and agree that by engaging in energy alignment, breathwork, and nervous system recalibration, I may temporarily experience:

⚫Fatigue or increased need for rest
⚫Emotional sensitivity or release
⚫Feeling “off” or unsettled
⚫Physical sensations or tension release
⚫Digestive changes
⚫Lightheadedness or tingling
⚫Sleep fluctuations
⚫Energy surges or temporary dips
⚫Flu-like symptoms
⚫Increased awareness of thoughts, patterns, or emotions

These responses are commonly recognized as part of somatic processing, energy clearing, and nervous system integration. I understand that they usually last no more than 24–72 hours. I agree to communicate with Jody if I experience anything concerning.

5. Personal Responsibility

I acknowledge that no outcomes or specific results are guaranteed and that I am responsible for my:

⚫physical well-being
⚫emotional and mental state
⚫choices during and after sessions
⚫integration practices

⚫Notes may be kept for professional purposes
⚫Communication for scheduling and integration may occur via text or email
