Coaching is not therapy. The services offered here are professional coaching services. They are not psychotherapy, counseling, mental health treatment, medical advice, or legal advice, and they are not a substitute for any of those things.
1. The role being offered
Coach Poppy™ holds clinical and professional credentials, including a Master of Science in Art Therapy, registration as an Art Therapist, certification as a Professional Coach, and certification as a Florida Supreme Court Family Law Mediator.
2. What that means in practice
- Coaching looks forward. It works on clarity, direction and practice — not on diagnosis or treatment.
- Nothing offered here diagnoses, treats, cures or prevents any condition.
- Coaching notes are not clinical records and do not carry the same legal protections.
3. If you are working with a clinician
Coaching can sit alongside therapy, and often does. If you are under the care of a therapist, physician or other clinician, you are encouraged to tell them you are engaging a coach, and to continue that care.
Nothing said in coaching should be taken as a reason to stop, change or delay treatment prescribed by a licensed professional.
4. If you are in crisis
This practice does not provide emergency or crisis services. Messages are not monitored around the clock, and a reply cannot be relied upon in an urgent situation.
If you are in immediate danger, or concerned for your safety or someone else's, please contact your local emergency services or a crisis line in your country right away.
5. No guaranteed outcomes
Every person, practice and situation is different. No particular result, outcome, income or professional advancement is promised or implied by anything on this site.
Any examples, stories or testimonials describe individual experience and should not be taken as typical or expected results.
6. Your decisions remain yours
Coaching supports your thinking; it does not replace your judgment. You remain solely responsible for the choices you make, the actions you take, and their consequences — including decisions about your own practice, business and clients.
7. If you are a practitioner yourself
Many of the people who work with this practice are coaches, therapists and healers. Nothing provided here constitutes clinical supervision, consultation, or professional oversight of your own work, and it does not satisfy any supervision requirement of your licensing or registration body.
You remain fully responsible for your own clients, your own scope of practice, and compliance with your own professional obligations.

9. Questions
If you are unsure whether coaching is the right fit for what you are carrying, please ask before booking. That question is always welcome, and the honest answer is sometimes no.
