Scope of Practice Disclaimer

I, ("Participant"), understand and acknowledge the following:

Sonavé LLC and its facilitators, are not acting as licensed nurse practitioners, physicians, psychologists, psychiatrists, therapists, or counselors. Nothing offered in The Practitioner's Path constitutes medical advice, mental health treatment, diagnosis, or therapy. Any professional licensure is not being used for this event.

The Practitioner's Path is an educational and experiential training program in trauma-informed sound facilitation. It is designed to teach the principles, techniques, and practices of sound facilitation within a wellness and personal development context.

Completion of this program does not qualify me to diagnose, treat, or claim to cure any medical or psychological condition. I understand that I am being trained as a sound facilitator — not a clinician — and that I must represent my training accurately and honestly in all professional settings.

I agree that in my own practice following this training, I will:

Clearly communicate to my own clients that sound facilitation is not a substitute for medical or mental health care. Refrain from diagnosing, prescribing, or making clinical claims. Recommend that clients consult licensed professionals for any medical or psychological concerns. Accurately represent my qualifications and the scope of my training. Maintain appropriate boundaries between facilitation and clinical practice.

I understand that Sonavé LLC is not responsible for how I apply the skills learned in this program and that I assume full responsibility for my conduct and representations as a practitioner.

Template Language for Graduates

Sonavé recommends that graduates include language similar to the following in their own client-facing materials and intake forms:

"[Your Name / Business Name] is a certified sound facilitator trained through Sonavé's The Practitioner's Path. Sound facilitation is a wellness practice and is not a substitute for medical care, psychotherapy, or any other licensed health service. Sessions are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease or condition. If you have a medical or mental health concern, please consult a licensed professional. By booking a session, you acknowledge that you are participating voluntarily and that you understand the nature and scope of this practice."

Responsibility for Breakage

I understand and agree that if I break, chip, crack, or otherwise damage any Crystal Tones instrument during the visit, I am personally responsible for the full retail cost of that instrument. I agree to pay for any damaged item in full before leaving the Crystal Tones facility.

Purchases

I understand that all items must be paid for in full to Sonavé before they leave the Crystal Tones building, whether carried out or shipped.
