Session Acknowledgement & Heart Posture Agreement

Before booking a City Gate Coaching session, please read and acknowledge the following:

City Gate Coaching is a coaching experience designed to help men grow in wisdom, character, purpose, and spiritual maturity. Inspired by Proverbs 31:23, where a man's influence and leadership are recognized at the city gate, these sessions provide a safe space for men to gain clarity, develop emotional and spiritual intelligence, navigate personal challenges, and become the men God has called them to be.

I understand that City Gate Coaching is a coaching and mentorship service designed to support personal, emotional, spiritual, and purpose-driven growth. I acknowledge that Kiara Stevens holds a Bachelor's Degree in Human Services and provides coaching, mentorship, accountability, and personal development support.

I understand that Kiara Stevens is not a licensed therapist, psychologist, psychiatrist, physician, or medical professional. Coaching services do not diagnose, treat, or cure mental health conditions and are not a substitute for therapy, counseling, psychiatric care, or medical treatment. No medications are prescribed, recommended, or managed through coaching sessions.

I understand that if I am experiencing a mental health crisis, severe emotional distress, suicidal thoughts, or require medical or psychiatric care, I should seek assistance from a licensed healthcare professional or emergency services.

I agree to approach each session with honesty, humility, and a teachable spirit. I understand that meaningful growth requires openness to wisdom, feedback, accountability, reflection, and personal responsibility. As a faith-based coaching experience, prayer, biblical principles, and sensitivity to the leading of the Holy Spirit may be incorporated into sessions.

I acknowledge that coaching is most effective when I am ready and willing to engage in the work required for transformation. If I am not currently open to growth, feedback, accountability, or change, I understand that this may not be the right season for me to pursue coaching.

I understand that the coaching relationship is strictly professional in nature. Coaching sessions are not intended to create a romantic, emotional, dating, or exclusive relationship between coach and client. I agree to honor appropriate boundaries, communicate respectfully, and conduct myself with integrity throughout the coaching relationship.

I acknowledge that any behavior that violates professional boundaries, including inappropriate, romantic, flirtatious, harassing, manipulative, or disrespectful communication, may result in the immediate termination of the coaching relationship and dismissal from future coaching sessions at the coach's discretion.

I understand that my coach provides guidance, perspective, encouragement, and accountability, but I remain fully responsible for my own decisions, actions, and outcomes.

By booking a session, I acknowledge that I have read, understood, and agreed to these terms.
