Disclaimers

By engaging in any services offered by Ian Sultan and/or Joy Sultan through Joyously Balanced, LLC — including but not limited to meditation guidance, intuitive/psychic readings, functional nutrition therapy, and fitness training recommendations—you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agreed to the terms set forth below. These terms are in place to protect both the client and the practitioner by ensuring that expectations, responsibilities, and boundaries are clearly defined.

All services offered by Joyously Balanced, LLC are for educational, spiritual, and personal development purposes only. None of the services are intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease, nor are they a substitute for licensed medical, psychological, legal, financial, or other professional advice.

If you are experiencing a medical or psychiatric emergency, please call 911 or seek help from a licensed medical professional immediately.

Functional Nutrition Therapy

Nature of Service

Joy Sultan is a functional nutritional therapy practitioner and certified personal trainer. She provides functional nutrition therapy, lifestyle education, and support for clients seeking to improve their overall health and vitality.
Services may include recommendations around nutrition, lifestyle, and supplements to support metabolic function and body systems. Any recommendations are intended to support the body in healing itself.
Joy is not a medical doctor, licensed therapist, or registered dietitian. She does not diagnose, treat, or cure any disease.
Any supplement protocols are intended to support optimal wellness and are not prescriptions in the medical sense.

Client Responsibility and Scope of Practice

Clients must understand that functional nutrition support is complementary, not a replacement for traditional medicine.
Clients should continue working with their primary care provider or specialist, especially in cases of acute or chronic illness.
If a client is dealing with a medical emergency or condition, they must seek guidance from a licensed medical provider.
Joy does not advise clients to stop or alter any prescribed medication or medical treatment.
In many cases, Joy will work in cooperation with a client’s doctor if requested or appropriate.

Discovery Call Disclaimer

Some clients may speak with Joy in a discovery call prior to signing her formal agreement.
While that longer contract contains more detail, all terms in this document still apply to those initial conversations.
By participating in any session — including a discovery call — the client acknowledges that Joy is not practicing medicine or engaging in psychotherapy, or in any capacity that requires specific medical, allopathic, or mental health licensure.

Liability

Joyously Balanced, LLC and Joy Sultan are not liable for any health outcomes or choices clients make based on the information provided.
Clients assume all responsibility for their personal health and wellness.
Clients agree to hold Joy Sultan and Joyously Balanced, LLC harmless for any adverse effects or misinterpretations of nutritional or lifestyle suggestions.

Meditation Sessions (In-Person or Virtual)

Scope and Purpose

Meditation sessions are intended to support clients in cultivating stillness, presence, self-awareness, and a deeper understanding of their inner world. These sessions may include education on the history, philosophy, and techniques of meditation as well as personal guidance through meditative practices.

Client Readiness and Responsibility

Clients must be able to sit still for short periods and not have any condition—whether physical, mental, or emotional—that makes meditation unsafe or inappropriate for them.
Meditation is not a medical treatment or therapy. It is not intended to cure or treat any mental or physical illness.
Clients with neurological conditions (e.g., Parkinson’s), psychiatric conditions (e.g., schizophrenia, bipolar disorder), or other serious medical issues should consult with their doctor or mental health provider before engaging in meditation practice.
By choosing to participate, the client affirms they are of sound mind and not aware of any medical or mental health conditions that would make this practice inappropriate or unsafe.

Potential Impact of Awakening

Clients should be aware that meditation, particularly over time, can lead to deep self-awareness and spiritual awakening. This process may cause internal shifts that affect one’s values, relationships, career, lifestyle, or worldview.
These changes are not programmed, guided, or suggested by the facilitator — they emerge from within the client as part of their own journey of awakening.
Clients may experience discomfort, disorientation, or an existential reevaluation of their life. This is not uncommon and often part of a natural rebalancing process.
Clients are advised not to make major life decisions during or immediately after the initial stages of awakening until they have fully integrated their insights.

Liability

Joyously Balanced, LLC and Ian Sultan are not liable for any choices or life changes that result from a client’s personal insights or spiritual awakening.
Clients accept full responsibility for their own mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual wellbeing before, during, and after engaging in meditation sessions.
Participation is voluntary and at the client’s own risk.

Intuitive & Psychic Readings (In-Person or Virtual)

Nature of the Service

Intuitive readings may involve energy scans, symbolic imagery, impressions of past/present/future, and interpretation through claircognizance (clear knowing), clairsentience (clear feeling), or other intuitive faculties.
Psychic impressions are interpretations — not declarations of fact — and should be treated as exploratory input, not as predictions or guarantees.

Client Discernment and Responsibility

Clients are expected to use their own judgment and discernment when considering any information received during a session.
Readings are not a substitute for medical, legal, financial, or psychological advice. Clients should always consult appropriate licensed professionals for those matters.
The future is fluid and subject to change. Psychic insight may provide perspective, but it does not dictate outcomes.
Clients are solely responsible for any actions or decisions they make based on the session.

Types of Questions & Boundaries

Ian does not answer yes/no questions such as: “Is he cheating on me?” or “Should I invest all my money?”
Instead, questions are reframed to explore themes, energetic patterns, and possibilities to empower the client’s own insight and choice.
Ian does not and will not diagnose medical conditions. If an energetic spot or sensation is observed, it will be referred to as such (e.g., “You may want to have this checked by a doctor”), not as a diagnosis or treatment plan.

Mental Health Disclaimer

Psychic readings are not therapy and should not be used as a substitute for treatment of mental health conditions.
Clients should be of sound mind and not under the influence of any impairing substance.
Individuals experiencing suicidal ideation, hallucinations, or emotional instability should seek immediate professional help and not rely on a psychic session as a form of crisis support.

Liability

Joyously Balanced, LLC and Ian Sultan are not responsible for how clients interpret or act upon the information received in a session.
Clients hold Ian Sultan and Joyously Balanced, LLC completely harmless for any consequences, losses, or decisions that arise from a session.
Participation in intuitive readings is voluntary and at the client’s own discretion and risk.
