1. Who these terms apply to

These terms apply to everything offered by Meg Sharland ("Meg", "I", "my"). That includes this website, one-to-one sessions, live sessions and groups (including Still Point), recorded hypnosis and audio, free and paid libraries (including Safe Inside and Life After Loss), Body Wise, the 121 Hypnosis Package, programmes, courses, memberships, packages, social media content and any downloads or streaming links. Together I call these "the Services". "You" means anyone who buys, books, downloads, listens to or uses the Services.

By using the Services you accept these terms and my Privacy Policy. You must be at least 18.

​

2. No promise or guarantee

Hypnosis is a skilled process and people respond to it differently. I do not promise or guarantee any result, outcome, change or timeframe from any session, recording, programme, package or library. Nothing on this website or in any content is a prediction or claim that hypnosis will work for you, work in a particular way, or work at a particular speed.

Many clients return because they find the experience enhances their life. That is their experience and not a promise of what will happen for you. 

​

3. Not medical treatment or replacement

The Services are provided for education and personal development. They are not medical advice, diagnosis or treatment, and they are not psychiatric care or a substitute for either. I am not affiliated with the NHS or any health agency. None of my content is intended to offer medical or health-related advice and it must never be used as such. The Services are not a crisis or emergency service.

Do not stop, start or change any medication or treatment because of anything in the Services. Speak to your GP or qualified healthcare professional first. The Services, including Body Wise, are not intended to diagnose or treat any physical or medical condition. Please see a doctor about any physical symptoms. I am not a medical practitioner and am not part of the NHS or any health agency. I am a member of The International Association for Councillors and Therapists. 

​

4. Who should take care or seek advice first

Please speak to your GP or a qualified healthcare professional before using the Services if you have epilepsy or seizures, a diagnosis of psychosis, schizophrenia or bipolar disorder, severe or unmanaged mental health difficulties, are currently in a mental health crisis, or are pregnant and unsure whether relaxation-based work is suitable for you.

If you are under care for a health condition, please tell your practitioner that you are using hypnosis.

​

5. Safe use

Never listen to recordings or take part in sessions while driving, operating machinery, cycling, or in any situation where you need to stay alert or where it is unsafe to relax deeply or fall asleep. Listen somewhere safe, and never in or near water.

​

6. Emotional material and Safe Inside

Some content, especially Safe Inside and Life After Loss, is designed for people working with relational trauma and grief. Emotions, memories or physical sensations can surface. If you become distressed, stop listening and look after yourself. You can return when you feel ready, or not at all. These are not desgined for people to listen whilst living in and with domestic violence. 

If you are struggling, please contact your GP or a mental health professional. In the UK you can call Samaritans on 116 123 at any time. If you or someone else is in immediate danger, call 999.

 

7. Your choices, your decisions

You stay in control of yourself throughout hypnosis and you are responsible for your own decisions, actions, behaviour and choices, during and after any session, call or recording. That includes decisions about your health, work, finances, relationships, training, performance and safety.

Everything discussed in the Services is offered for you to consider. That includes ideas, concepts, reflections, questions and challenge. It is not a recommendation to act, and I do not make decisions for you.

At times I will challenge you, question you, or play devil's advocate so that you can test your thinking. Taking a position in a session is a tool for your reflection. It is never a sign that I think you should pursue a particular choice. You take full ownership of what you do with what comes up.

I am not responsible for what you choose to do, or not do, after a session or after listening. That includes any effect on your circumstances, relationships, career, sport or business. If you use the Leadership Hypnosis Package or work with me in a professional or performance context, you remain solely responsible for your own decisions and their consequences.

You are never asked to agree with me.

 

8. Liability

To the fullest extent the law allows, I am not liable for any loss, damage, cost or harm, whether direct or indirect, arising from your use of, or reliance on, the Services or the information in them. This includes loss of income, opportunity, business or reputation, and any emotional or personal impact after a session or listening.

Nothing in these terms limits or excludes my liability for death or personal injury caused by my negligence, for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or for anything else that cannot lawfully be limited or excluded. Nothing in these terms affects your statutory consumer rights.

 

9. Accuracy of information

I take care over what I publish, but I give no warranty that information on this website or in any content is complete, accurate or up to date. The website and free content are provided "as is" and may change, pause or be withdrawn at any time.

10. One-to-one sessions and honest disclosure

Please tell me the truth about your health history, medication, diagnoses and current care before and during our work. It helps me work safely and well, and withholding relevant information may affect whether the work is suitable.

You can pause or stop a session at any time.

 

11. Confidentiality

What you share in one-to-one sessions is kept confidential and is not shared without your consent, except where the law requires it or where I believe there is a serious risk of harm to you or to someone else. [Add how session notes are stored, and link to your privacy policy.]

I do not use recordings or content from client sessions publicly unless you have given explicit written permission.

 

12. Session notes, recordings and notetakers

Most of my services are not recorded. I do not routinely provide session notes. If you would like notes from a session, please ask me in advance. Notes may carry an additional charge, which I will confirm before I write them.

Group calls are recorded only if this has been agreed before the session begins.

On online sessions, you may use a notetaker for your own personal reflection. Please tell me before the session begins that you will be using one. It is for your private use only. Do not share, publish or pass on the notes or recordings, and do not use them to train or teach others. If you take part in a group, do not record or capture other participants without their consent.

 

13. Group programmes and communities

Groups are for your own development. They are not for networking or for selling to other members.

Some programmes include a private community group, such as on Telegram. Other members will see what you post there, so I cannot guarantee privacy for anything you share in a group. Please share only what you are comfortable with others seeing, and do not share or repeat what other members post.

 

14. Payments and refunds

All recordings and programmes are non-refundable. This includes recordings, downloads, libraries, courses, memberships, Body Wise, Still Point, the Leadership Hypnosis Package and any other package. Deposits are non-refundable.

If you are a UK consumer, you normally have 14 days to cancel an online purchase. By buying, you ask me to give you access straight away and you acknowledge that:

• for digital recordings and downloads, you lose your right to cancel once you have accessed or downloaded them, and

• for programmes and other services, you lose your right to cancel once the service has begun, and if you cancel within the 14 days, you will pay for what has been delivered up to that point.

If something you have bought is faulty or is not as described, contact me and we will put it right. Your statutory rights are not affected by anything here.

Where you pay by instalments, each instalment is due on its date. Access may be paused if a payment has not been made.

 

15. One-to-one session cancellations

I aim to honour your schedule as much as mine. If life happens, get in touch, and I welcome requests to change a time. Please give at least 48 hours' notice where possible, and cancel or rearrange through the Calendly link, which frees the slot for someone else. If you do not cancel on Calendly, my diary will treat you as attending. If you cancel late or do not attend, it is at my discretion whether to rearrange the session.

 

16. Ownership and intellectual property

All recordings, scripts, written material, images, resources and content are my property and my copyright. Resources you receive are yours to keep for your own personal use. You may not copy, resell, share, republish, redistribute, modify or use them to train others or create derivative material without my written permission. To request permission, email megssharland@gmail.com before you use the material.

 

17. Changes to these terms

I may update these terms from time to time. The version on the website on the date you use the Services applies.

 

18. Governing law

These terms are governed by the law of England and Wales, and the courts of England and Wales have jurisdiction, unless your local consumer law gives you the right to bring a claim elsewhere.
