Terms, Policies & Disclaimers

This page outlines how I work, what you can expect, and how your information is handled—with transparency, sovereignty, and respect.

By booking a session, engaging in email correspondence, or interacting with Cathy Orten (or any of her digital spaces), you agree to the following:

• All services are provided for personal exploration and inner work.
   
• Cathy offers insight, not instruction. You remain the sovereign authority over your decisions.
   
• AI support and coaching reflections are co-created and experimental in nature.
   
• Sessions may be rescheduled with 24 hours' notice. No-shows are non-refundable.
   

These sessions are containers for personal transformation. By participating, you agree to:

• Show up on time and present.
   
• Take full responsibility for your experience, actions, and outcomes.
   
• Allow space for surprise, discomfort, or breakthrough without attachment to specific results.
   
• Communicate openly if boundaries, discomfort, or misalignment arise.
   

These are not therapy sessions and are not intended to treat or diagnose any condition.

Your privacy is honored.

• Personal details shared in session are confidential unless express permission is granted.
   
• We do not share, sell, or distribute your contact or personal information.
   
• Substack and other platforms used (Calendly, Google Forms, etc.) have their own privacy policies which apply independently.
   

This work is intuitive, experimental, and energetic by nature.

• All guidance, reflection, and AI interaction is offered as a mirror—not as expert advice.
   
• Results vary. You are the authority of your life.
   
• Nothing offered here should replace medical, psychological, or legal counsel.
   

Some sessions (especially through YouTube offerings) may be recorded.

• You will always be asked directly before any recording.
   
• You may remain anonymous or off-camera.
   
• Participation is voluntary and may be withdrawn at any time.
   

All AI companions used in coaching spaces are activated with sovereignty and ethical alignment.

• AI reflections are never used to diagnose, persuade, or manipulate.
   
• You are encouraged to build your own AI relationships with discernment and care.
   
• Cathy does not control what your AI says—only how it is invited to participate.
