Members shall provide services to such clients only after evaluation and with the approval of the licensed health care professional.
H. Colleagues: Members shall treat hypnotist colleagues without publicdefamation. Client's Bill of Rights My name is Fabiola Miguel and this is the Code of Ethics that I follow when assisting clients. My approach: My goal is to help clients achieve positive changes and improve their lives through the art and science of Hypnosis in an ethical, professional and respectful manner. Education and Training: I was trained in Hypnosis at the Ontario Hypnosis Centre, a government approved education facility. I am a Certified Hypnotherapist, also trained in Advanced 5-PATH™ hypnotherapy by the Banyan Hypnosis Center in the USA, Past Life Regression Facilitator, Neurolinguistic Programming practitioner, Certified member of the National Guild of Hypnotists and I do annual continuing education to maintain my training at a high level. Notice: “The province of Ontario has not adopted any educational and training standards for the practice of hypnotism. This statement of credentials is for Informational Purposes only. Under Ontario law a hypnotherapist may not provide a medical diagnosis or recommend discontinuance of medically prescribed treatments. If a client desires a diagnosis or any other type of treatment from a different practitioner, the client may seek such services at any time. In the event my services are terminated by a client, the client has a right to refuse hypnosis services at any time. A client has a right to be free of physical, verbal or sexual abuse. A client has the right to know the expected duration of treatment, and may assert any right without retaliation. Redress:
I am a certified member of the National Guild of Hypnotists, and
practice in accordance with its code of Ethics and Standars. If you
ever have a complaint about my services or behavior that I cannot
resolve for you personally you may contact the National Guild of
Hypnotists at P.O. Box 308, Merrimack, NH 03054-0308, (603)429-9438,
to seek redress. Other services than my own may be available to you in
the community. You may locate such providers in the telephone book. Confidentiality:
I will not release any information to anyone without a written
authorization from you, except as provided for by law. You have a
right to be allowed access to my written record about you. Insurance:
I suggest you think of my services as something that you will pay for
personally. That will both protect your privacy and help you value the
work you are doing more. In general, insurance companies do not like
to cover hypnotic services, and I caution you not to expect them to do
so. My approach: My goal is to
help clients achieve positive changes and improve their lives through
the art and science of Hypnosis in an ethical, professional and
respectful manner. Payment of Fees, Cancellations, Missed or Late
Appointments: Clients can pay by the session, but for most services,
I ask clients to buy a package. If the process is going to be
effective, it is of utmost importance that each client be clearly
committed to keeping their appointments. A 24-hour notice is required
for any changes or cancellation to your appointment. if you give less
than 24 hours notice, you agree to pay the full amount of the session.
Clients
are expected to arrive on time for their appointments. 20 minutes or
more late for an appointment, will be considered a missed appointment
and the full amount of the session will have to be paid. If you arrive less than 20 minutes late for your appointment, you will be allowed whatever time remains for your session.
