I have read and I understand all the statements above, and I agree to these terms. I certify that I am under, or will seek, the care of a licensed health care provider, if I believe I have, or am aware that I have a serious mental, physical or emotional problem or illness. I agree that I will not terminate conventional and/or alternative treatment with a licensed and qualified health care provider(s) as a result of this work. 

I,the undersigned, do not hold Iris Michael legally or clinically responsible for any aspect of my physical, mental or emotional health or care thereof. 

I herewith request Iris Michael to perform shamanic healing sessions with myself.
