Those with learning disabilities may reach out to request accommodations by contacting info@yogaofrealtionship.co and describing what accommodations they need. that said, this is NOT an online school: it is a course. It is therefore not required to be registered as a licensed private school in Minnesota.

We believe it is our moral and legal obligation to meet the responsibility of ensuring that all student interaction practices regarding students are conducted in a nondiscriminatory manner.

In compliance with Title VII of the 1964 Civil Rights Act, and other applicable federal and state statutes, all recruiting, hiring, training, and promoting for all job classifications will be administered without regard to race, color, ancestry, age, sex, national origin, pregnancy or childbirth, disability, military veteran status or other applicable status protected by law, including state of employment protected classes. It is, therefore, our policy and intention to evaluate all employees and prospective employees strictly according to the requirements of the job.

All student-related activities will be administered without regard to race, color, ancestry, age, sex, national origin, pregnancy or childbirth, disability, military veteran status or other applicable status protected by law, including all applicable state of employment protected classes.

The course is a Christian religious-affiliated professor; and as such, is not subject to religious discrimination requirements. The University’s hiring practices, certification process, and EEO discrimination practices are in full compliance with both federal and state law. Federal law creates an exception to the “religion” component of the employment discrimination laws for religious organizations (including educational institutions), and permits them to give employment practice preference to members of their own religious beliefs.

Hereby, the course shall be referred to as School or Course interchangeably to mean COURSE:

1. Definition of Confidential Information.

DR. AMANDA BREES, EDD, E-RYT, C-IAYT, YACEP, RMT

DBA Amanda Brees Ministries | 445 W Broadway Suite 3, Plainview MN 55964 & 124 2nd St E Wabasha MN 55981 | (530) 925-2465 | https://yogaofrelationship.co/

Qualifications: AA Massage, Reflexology & Yoga, BA Biblical Studies & Theology, MA Transpersonal Psychology, EDD Pastoral Counseling, C-IAYT Yoga Therapist, Ordained Minister (Christian Global Outreach), RMT Reiki Master Teacher, Holy Yoga 60 Hr Trauma Sensitive, Healing Touch Spiritual Ministry Level 2, Integrated Energy Therapy Level 2, Evolutionary Herbalism Training, Yoga Alliance E-RYT 500 Hr Teacher

THE STATE OF MINNESOTA HAS NOT ADOPTED ANY EDUCATIONAL AND TRAINING STANDARDS FOR UNLICENSED COMPLEMENTARY AND ALTERNATIVE HEALTH CARE PRACTITIONERS. THIS STATEMENT OF CREDENTIALS IS FOR INFORMATION PURPOSES ONLY.

Under Minnesota law, an unlicensed complementary and alternative health care practitioner may not provide a medical diagnosis or recommend discontinuance of medically prescribed treatments. If a client desires a diagnosis from a licensed physician, chiropractor, or acupuncture practitioner, or services from a physician, chiropractor, nurse, osteopathic physician, physical therapist, dietitian, nutritionist, acupuncture practitioner, athletic trainer, or any other type of health care provider, the client may seek such services at any time.

INSURANCE/FINANCES: The client has a right to reasonable notice of changes in services or charges. Yoga therapy is sometimes covered under HSA spending accounts with certain indications, but you are responsible for any portion insurance doesn't cover. Please note that I do not provide primarily physical (postural) yoga. The work I do is focused on complex PTSD, relational trauma, and family healing through meditation, pastoral counseling, and touch. Otherwise, services are $75/hr payable at the end of each session. Please provide a 24-hour cancellation notice for non-emergencies. Satisfaction guaranteed or money back. Payment plans and inclusivity scholarships are available if the cost is prohibitive. I am insured through Farm Bureau and the National Association of Complementary and Alternative Medicine.

THEORETICAL APPROACH: Yoga therapy is not a licensed healthcare practice. Furthermore, massage therapy is not licensed in Winona County (it is licensed within the city limits of Winona). Finally, pastoral counseling is not a licensed healthcare practice. Herbalism and reiki are not licensed healthcare practices. These services are rendered by an ordained minister who teaches/implements complementary spiritual therapies to support, nurture, and calm the nervous system and heart. Alternative medicine is a well-studied field of healing that uses non-clinical interventions for spiritual healing. I have conducted a peer-reviewed research study that resulted in substantiating a theory that complementary therapies are effective in healing family trauma. I am an ordained minister offering pastoral counseling and alternative medicine services in alignment with my grounded research theory.

CLIENT RIGHTS: You, the client, have a right to complete and current information concerning the practitioner's assessment and recommended service that is to be provided, including the expected duration of the service to be provided. You may expect courteous treatment and to be free from verbal, physical, or sexual abuse by the practitioner. Your client records and transactions with the practitioner are confidential, unless the release of these records is authorized in writing by the client, or otherwise provided by law. You have the right to be allowed access to records and written information from records in accordance with sections 144.291 to 144.298. Other services may be available in the community through your local church, yoga studio, or massage therapy offices. You have the right to choose freely among available practitioners and to change practitioners after services have begun, within the limits of health insurance, medical assistance, or other health programs. You have the right to coordinate transfer when there will be a change in the provider of services. You may refuse services or treatment unless otherwise provided by law. You may assert your rights without retaliation. Per MN 2020 State Statute 146A.11, clients must sign a copy of this release prior to receiving services. All online/remote ZOOM and phone services rendered shall fall under the legal jurisdiction and laws of the State of Minnesota, Wabasha County, MN. Massage therapy is an unlicensed practice in Wabasha County.

AUTHORIZATION TO RELEASE INFORMATION: As a courtesy to you, I can work as a member of an integrated care team and offer appropriate referrals when necessary. You would be responsible for communicating with these providers and obtaining proper authorizations of release information for us to speak with one another about your care. Be advised that I may offer referrals to other professionals (legal, mental health, social services, acupuncture, etc) as I see fit.

INFORMED CONSENT: Although I have a doctorate (EDD) I am not a medical doctor (MD). Please note, I have completed a CMT program. I sell homemade herbal products as a cottage food producer but do not prescribe psychiatric medications. My priority is your spiritual (as opposed to mental or emotional) health. I am not a licensed mental health provider, and you should consult a licensed marriage and family therapist or family law attorney for the management of trauma and family issues. You should not start or stop any medication without consulting a licensed physician. My products are not intended to cure, treat, or prevent any disease.

MANDATED REPORTING: I am a mandated reporter and am obligated to report your intentions to harm yourself, a child, or someone else.

I also agree to stay bound to the current version of the website and Teachable terms and conditions if I am a website client or student without notice of new revisions to the terms.

Anyone is welcome to take the course, but only those who complete all graduation requirements will qualify for certification. Anyone on the Personal Pathway can apply for a certificate of completion IF they pass the quiz with a B or better and ask for one.

Those on the Professional Pathway will be certified IF they agree to our guidelines AND send me an email asking to process their certification and graduation after they've completed all requirements.

This course does not issue any accreditation or continuing education credits outside of the International Center for Reiki Training. It is NOT WASC accredited. There are no refunds due to the nature of content delivery. If you are unsatisfied, please email info@yogaofrelationship.co explaining what exactly was unhelpful and I will work with you on a case-by-case basis to resolve your complaints.

Purchase of the course material itself does NOT guarantee certification. Certification is by application for graduates who:

Students must agree to conduct themselves respectfully in all areas of the course not limited to coaching sessions, written discussion forums, and comment threads.

Students may not threaten, harm or shame fellow participants or the instructor. Displays of racial discrimination will not be tolerated. Students will be issued three written warnings for violations of this code of conduct policy.

Failure to correct the behaviors after three warnings will result in a dismissal from the program without further notice and no refund. Students who have been dismissed from the course for misconduct are ineligible for refunds and still liable for the remainder of their payment plan for the materials.

In special circumstances, the student and teacher can agree to drop the payment plan balance due or issue a partial refund if the teacher and student agree that the content is not a good fit, but the student has not violated the terms of use of the course. These agreements will be at the full discretion of the professor of the course (Dr. Brees) without intervention in a court of law.

Failure to complete the course, failure to understand the materials, and disagreement with the professor about what is being taught are ineligible reasons for refunds.

If disagreement persists, the parties agree to use natural mediation service to resolve their differences through arbitration instead of court processes to the extent the law allows it.

Amanda Brees Ministries is fully committed to overcoming racism and inequity in this course and methodology. Students who experience racial mistreatment are encouraged to reach out to Dr. Brees via email to discuss situations, concerns, and ideas for how to support a more diverse class environment.

Students of varying sexual orientations, gender identities, and religions are welcome in the personal pathway course and will receive a certificate of completion upon finishing. Students should expect to be treated with respect and dignity without hatred. However, the course will be taught from a biblical, conservative, Christian perspective regarding life, marriage, and sexual ethics.
