Agreement: Therapeutic Art Coaching and Denise Livingston agree to provide their services to the client as mentioned in the agreement.

Responsibilities: The Coach agrees on maintaining the standards and ethics of behavior as per set by the International Coach Federation (ICF). www.coachfederation.org/ethics Client is responsible for establishing his/her own emotional, mental, and physical wellbeing.
