This disclaimer applies to all information on this website and the social media accounts associated with it, and to all one-on-one and group sessions, services, products, classes, courses, workshops, and certifications offered by Samantha Berendt through GEM+I, LLC, whether online or in person (together, the "Services"). By booking, purchasing, or participating in any of the Services, you agree to this disclaimer in its entirety.

ELIGIBILITY AND VOLUNTARY PARTICIPATION

You confirm that you are at least 18 years old and that you have voluntarily chosen to book or participate in the Services for yourself. Your participation, and any choices or actions you take based on the Services, are solely your responsibility.

NOT MEDICAL OR MENTAL HEALTH CARE

An intuitive reading, energy healing, or any other Service offered here is in no way a substitute for professional medical, mental health, or spiritual counseling and treatment. No service, course, or product offered by Samantha Berendt via GEM+I, LLC is intended in any way — explicitly, implicitly, or by reference — to be a substitute or replacement for licensed medical or psychological care.

Energy healing, breathwork, psychic readings, crystal and sound healing, Reiki, Emotion Code, and all other intuitive modalities offered by Samantha Berendt and GEM+I, LLC are alternative, complementary approaches. They are metaphysical in nature, do not claim to diagnose, treat, cure, or remedy any condition, and are meant to accompany and work alongside standard medical and psychological treatment — never to replace it.

Never change, stop, or add to any medication or medical treatment without the advice, consent, and direction of your physician or the licensed professionals involved in your care. Samantha Berendt and GEM+I, LLC cannot accept responsibility for any illness or harm arising from a client's or participant's failure to seek qualified medical advice for themselves, their family members, or their animal companions.

If you are experiencing a medical or mental health emergency, do not rely on any Service offered here. Call 911 (or your local emergency number) or contact the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline immediately.

PHYSICAL PRACTICES

Some Services, including breathwork and meditation, involve physical participation. If you are pregnant, or have a cardiovascular condition, respiratory condition, epilepsy, a history of fainting, or any other medical concern, consult your physician before participating. You agree to participate within your own limits and to stop at any time you feel unwell.

NOT LEGAL, FINANCIAL, OR PROFESSIONAL ADVICE

Nothing offered through the Services constitutes legal, financial, business, or other licensed professional advice. Any intuitive guidance touching on such matters is offered for reflection only, and you should consult a qualified licensed professional before making decisions in these areas.

NATURE OF INTUITIVE GUIDANCE

All intuitive guidance included in any reading, session, workshop, or training is offered in good faith, for spiritual exploration and personal growth, and is to be used at your sole discretion and risk. It is not to be construed as predicting the future or fortune telling, and it does not take the place of psychotherapy or psychiatric care of any kind.

NO GUARANTEE OF RESULTS

Samantha Berendt and GEM+I, LLC cannot and do not promise any specific outcome or benefit from participation in any session, workshop, or training. Any testimonials or examples provided reflect individual experiences only; they are not a promise or guarantee of results and do not represent the average purchaser. Your results depend on many factors, including your own dedication, circumstances, and effort, and no guarantee is made that you will achieve any particular result, or any result at all.

CERTIFICATIONS AND TRAININGS

Certifications offered by Samantha Berendt and GEM+I, LLC, including Intuition Mastery and Reiki certifications, are issued by GEM+I, LLC as private certificates of course completion. They are not issued, endorsed, or accredited by any governmental agency, licensing board, or independent accrediting body, and they do not constitute a professional license. Completing a certification does not guarantee income, clients, employment, or the legal ability to practice in your jurisdiction. If you choose to offer services to others after certification, you are solely responsible for complying with the laws, licensing requirements, and regulations that apply where you practice.

All course materials, recordings, meditations, and teaching content are the intellectual property of Samantha Berendt and GEM+I, LLC, are protected by copyright, and are provided for your personal use only. They may not be copied, recorded, shared, resold, or used to create derivative programs without prior written permission.

ASSUMPTION OF RESPONSIBILITY AND RELEASE

The choices you make and the actions you take based on the Services are solely your responsibility. To the fullest extent permitted by law, you agree to hold harmless and indemnify GEM+I, LLC, Samantha Berendt, and any persons associated with GEM+I, LLC from any claims arising out of your participation in the Services or your use of the information provided.

It is the belief of GEM+I, LLC, as it is with many others, that the only healing that exists is self-healing: you hold the power to heal yourself. The services, products, and courses offered here are meant to be used as tools, guides, and support in your own process of self-healing.
