MEDICAL ADVICE

You are responsible for your health and well being. Please obtain appropriate medical advice before starting any new treatments.

URGENT NEEDS

If you require urgent medical care, please contact your primary physician or your local emergency unit. I do not offer emergency services. Numa Life Coaching responds to most email inquiries within 2 business days. Numa operates on Mountain Standard Time and scheduled office hours are Tuesday to Thursday. If you send an inquiry on Thursday afternoon, you may not receive a response until the following week.

COACHING VS THERAPY

Although there are similarities between coaching and therapy, it is important to note that Numa is a Life Coaching service. Although Mellissa Bell has degrees in Psychology and Social Work, she is not currently licensed as a therapist or to provide clinical counselling for mental health issues. Coaching is focused on what is happening for each client in the present moment and how you can make changes to help you move forward. Some clients may require both coaching and therapy at various times, or simultaneously. Coaching does not replace the need for medical or mental health services.

LEGAL ADVICE

Should you require legal assistance, it is best to research lawyers in your area who specialize in the type of help that you need. Each province/state/country has unique laws to deal with disability claims, pensions and government payments. Numa Life Coaching/Mellissa Bell offers assistance in improving self-advocacy skills and general support with how to fill out paperwork, organization and researching the best partners for you and your journey. We take on no legal obligation with your case and can not be held responsible for any outcomes.

PRIVACY

We deeply value peoples’ privacy and do not share your personal information with any other parties.

LINKS/RESOURCES

The Numa Life Coaching website contains links to other websites where the content could be valuable to clients. Use these websites and links at your own risk. We do not profit in any way (Numa Life Coaching or Mellissa Bell personally) from recommended books or websites that may have paid content in which you can enroll. We also take on no legal obligation in the outcomes from your participation.

VIDEO/TELEPHONE APPOINTMENTS

There is always a privacy risk to meeting online or via telephone since links or phone lines can never be considered entirely secure. Using platforms such as Zoom, Doxy and Duo allows for the best possible encryption. Sessions are not audio or video recorded.
