General Practice Policies & Informed Consent
SCOPE OF PRACTICE Somatic Theology operates under the category of wellness, education, and stress-reduction services. Somatic Theology providers are not acting as licensed mental health professionals, physicians, massage therapists, or physical therapists unless specifically stated. TRE® sessions are provided as somatic education and self-regulation training under Louisiana law. Services are not intended to diagnose, treat, or cure physical or mental health conditions. You agree to consult an appropriate healthcare provider for any medical or psychological concerns.
HEALTH & SAFETY DISCLOSURE TRE® has no known contraindications, but may involve physical or emotional sensations that can feel intense. You agree to inform your provider of:
  • Recent surgeries
  • Chronic conditions
  • Heart issues
  • History of seizures
  • Pregnancy
  • Injuries or mobility limitations
  • Psychiatric diagnoses that may affect participation
TRE® and somatic practices may not be appropriate for certain conditions; your provider may refer you elsewhere if safety concerns exist. You agree to stop the session at any time if discomfort arises and to notify the provider immediately.
MINORS Somatic Theology does not provide TRE® sessions to individuals under 18 without written parental or legal guardian consent. A parent/guardian may be required to attend portions of the session. By booking a TRE® session, you acknowledge that the client is at least 18 years old.
SPIRITUAL INTEGRATION Somatic Theology integrates Christian spiritual principles when appropriate or when requested. Participation in prayer or spiritual reflection is voluntary. Everyone is free to participate to the degree they feel comfortable. The spiritual principles do not affect the physical benefits of TRE®.
SCHEDULING Appointments can be made through our online scheduling system (somatictheology.com/book-now) or email (support@somatictheology.com). Clients are responsible for ensuring that contact information on file is accurate and up to date.
LATE ENTRY For all TRE® sessions, the client is expected to arrive on time. For all TRE® sessions, the last admitted person will be 10 minutes after the start time. Anyone arriving late or logging-on late (virtual sessions) will not be admitted and will be charged the full rate.
CANCELLATION POLICY We require at least 48 hour notice if a client needs to cancel a session or reschedule it for another time or day. Late notice cancellations and no-shows will be charged at the full rate. Repeated late cancellations may result in restricted scheduling privileges.
PAYMENT POLICY Payment is due on the day of scheduling. Clients are responsible for ensuring that payment information on file is accurate and up to date. Somatic Theology accepts all major credit cards. If there are any issues with payments being declined, you will be notified and given an opportunity to update your card or bank information. We do not allow clients to carry balances.
If the session was missed without 48 hour notice, it will be invoiced at the full fee. The banking information or credit card held on file for your account will be charged unless another arrangement has been made ahead of time. Refunds are not provided for missed or partially used sessions.
No refunds are given for completed sessions. Refunds for purchased packages follow the same 48-hour cancellation rule unless otherwise notes.
SECURITY OF FINANCIAL INFORMATION Acuity Scheduling uses industry-standard, encrypted payment processing. Your card or bank details are handled securely by Square, and Somatic Theology never has access to your full payment information—only confirmation that payment was completed.
INSURANCE Somatic Theology does not accept any insurance and does not provide superbills for insurance billing. A summary of services can be provided upon request for personal record-keeping.
CONFIDENTIALITY All personal information shared during services is confidential except where disclosure is required by Louisiana or federal law. These situations include:
  1. Risk of harm to yourself or others.
  2. Medical emergencies requiring intervention.
  3. Suspected abuse or neglect of a child, elderly person, or vulnerable adult.
  4. Court orders or subpoenas requiring release of information.
We may consult with other professionals to ensure quality of care. When doing so, all identifying information is removed. In the event of an injury, illness, or other unexpected emergency involving Somatic Theology staff, your name and contact information may be shared with an approved colleague soley for purposes of notifying you or cancellations and continuity of care options.
SECURE COMMUNICATION & TELEHEALTH LIMITATIONS Please understand that sensitive information should only be shared at your discretion and that Somatic Theology cannot guarantee security.
Our online sessions via video conferencing software (Zoom) are encrypted and HIPAA-compliant. Sessions may not be audio and/or video recorded by participants. Somatic Theology reserves the right to record a virtual session and will obtain informed consent beforehand.

  • Documentation intended for legal disputes (e.g., custody, divorce, injury claims)
At our discretion, we may provide a record summary for an administrative fee of $150 minimum, due prior to release.
EMERGENCY & CRISIS SUPPORT Somatic Theology does not provide emergency or crisis intervention services. If you are experiencing a life-threatening or urgent mental health crisis, call 911, go to the nearest emergency room, or contact a crisis hotline (988 in the U.S.).
CLIENT RESPONSIBILITY You agree to participate at your own pace, communicate discomfort, and follow guidance intended to keep the session safe. You acknowledge that TRE® is a self-regulation process, and you are responsible for monitoring your physical and emotional state during and after sessions.
