CONSCIOUSNESS RISING, INC. DBA DONNA BOND PROFESSIONAL COACHING AND CONSULTING

Last Updated: January 2026

IMPORTANT NOTICE REGARDING COACHING SERVICES

I cannot guarantee results, however, I’ve seen hundreds of clients create powerful change in their life by having courage, willingness and strength of heart to apply the principles offered here. This process works when you work it. Therefore, you acknowledge you are motivated and committed to taking action on your growth, development and intentions. You realize that anything less than your intentional full participation will not lead to your success.

PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY AND ACKNOWLEDGMENT

By purchasing or participating in any Consciousness Rising, Inc. programs, courses, coaching services, or membership, you explicitly acknowledge and agree to the following:
Your Personal Responsibility

  1. Life Decisions: You are solely and completely responsible for all decisions you make regarding your life, relationships, career, health, finances, and well-being. Any decisions you make during or after participating in our programs are your own decisions, made of your own free will.
  2. Results and Outcomes: You acknowledge that Donna Bond and Consciousness Rising, Inc. cannot and do not guarantee any specific results or outcomes from participation in our programs. Your results depend entirely on your own effort, commitment, circumstances, and choices.
  3. Application of Information: Any information, guidance, techniques, or principles shared in our programs are offered as general educational and inspirational content. You are responsible for determining whether and how to apply any information to your own unique situation.
  4. Independent Decision-Making: You understand that coaching is not therapy, counseling, or professional advice. You maintain full responsibility for your own decision-making and will consult appropriate licensed professionals (medical, mental health, legal, financial, etc.) before making significant life decisions.
  5. No Guarantees: While many clients experience powerful transformation through our work, you understand that personal growth and transformation require your active participation, courage, and willingness. The programs work when you work them. No one can do your inner work for you.
