Welcome to doulaterry.com where Terry Richmond offers her services as a Birth Doula, Birth Coach, and Certified Havening Techniques Practitioner®. This Disclaimer contains important information to share with you and for you to understand. Please be advised of the following:

The information contained on this website, including ideas, methods, suggestions, testimonials, social media postings, relaxation exercises, and other materials is educational in nature and is provided only as general information and is not medical or psychological advice.

Transmission of the information presented on this website is not intended to create and receipt does not constitute any professional relationship between Terry Richmond and the visitor and should not be relied upon as medical, psychological, or other professional advice of any kind or nature.

You understand that by viewing this website you will be introduced to the services offered by Terry Richmond, including in-person Birth Doula services, Birth Coaching, and the Havening Techniques® (Havening), all of which are considered part of the field of Complementary & Integrative Health (collectively, the “CIH Methods”). As a trained professional Birth Doula, Terry Richmond provides emotional, physical, and informational support to her clients during pregnancy, labor, and birth, aiming to help them achieve a safe, memorable, and empowering birthing experience. As a Birth Coach her services are intended to provide clients with the information they need to in order to make informed decisions about their pregnancy and birth experience. Havening is described as a psycho-sensory modality based on the fields of neuroscience and neurobiology which uses sensory input in order to alter thought, mood, and behavior. It is believed that when an event or experience is perceived as upsetting or stressful, it becomes immutably encoded in the psyche and the body. Havening is designed to make changes in the brain in order to de-stress and remove from both the psyche and the body the emotional memory of an upsetting or stressful life event and its negative effects. Therefore, Havening is a modality that is designed to help individuals overcome problems that are the consequence of upsetting or stressful encoding. Havening is comprised of a number of protocols, including Havening Touch® which generally includes light stroking around the face and from the top of the shoulders down the arms of the client. Havening can also be given at a distance.

Although the CIH Methods appear to have promising health benefits, they are considered outside traditional Western approaches to health and wellness. Therefore, they have yet to be thoroughly researched by the Western academic, medical, and psychological communities. Consequently, the CIH Methods may be considered experimental and the extent of their effectiveness, as well as their risks and benefits, are not fully known. The CIH Methods are self-regulated and no state in the United States licenses practitioners of the CIH Methods. They are considered to be complementary, alternative, and integrative approaches.

While Terry Richmond has extensive experience as a practitioner of the CIH Methods, she is not a physician, psychotherapist, or any other licensed health care practitioner. Therefore, she does not provide medical or psychological advice, diagnosis, or treatments or any other licensed health care services in her sessions.

Any information presented on this website about the CIH Methods is not intended to represent that they are used to diagnose, cure, treat, or prevent any medical condition or psychological disorder nor are they intended as a substitute for seeking licensed health care advice and services. Terry Richmond strongly advises that you seek professional advice as appropriate before making any health decision.

Terry Richmond has posted testimonials on this website regarding client use of her services. She believes these testimonials reflect experiences that are representative of what clients can generally achieve with the services advertised on this website in actual, albeit variable, conditions of use. However, this does not necessarily imply that any given client will experience the exact same or similar results as others who have used similar services and who have subsequently written testimonials. Although results generally should be within the range of results a significant number of clients can experience, the results experienced by any one individual who has written a testimonial is not necessarily what any other particular client should expect to experience.
