8. My Qualifications and Responsibility
  • Two Business Degrees from Monash University: Bachelor of Business (Management) and Bachelor of Business (Marketing)
  • 17 years Corporate experience in Consulting and Marketing
  • Advanced Diploma in Yoga Teaching from Australian Yoga Academy
  • Advanced Certificate in Yoga Nidra from Amrit Yoga Institute
  • Certificate in Body Psychology from Amrit Yoga Institute
  • Yin Yoga and Yang Yin Yoga Certificates from Mysan Yoga
  • Yin Yoga training from Jo Phee YogaLevels 1, 2 & 3 Certificates in Reiki from Melbourne Reiki Centre

I am formally qualified and trained in the fields of Business and Mindset, but I am a continuous learner. I am constantly reading, listening and curious about the latest trends and thought leadership in the areas in which I coach and am passionate. I take reasonable care and due diligence to commit to best practice. This is why clients tell me time and again they like my different approach because I combine a number of modalities and have a variety of corporate and mindset experience to support them in a different and more relatable and profound way.

9. Your Responsibility
You are responsible for your own safety and well-being. It is your responsibility to commit to the programs you enrol in and do the work involved to achieve your desired outcomes. As your coach, I am your guide but I cannot do the work for you. I will guide, support and provide direction, but the ultimate responsibility for the outcomes you achieve, lies with you. Ultimately, the results you achieve will be a reflection of the time and work commitment you put into these programs.

10. Important Information       
It’s important you take ownership of your own business journey when working together, instead of expecting me to wave a magic wand and deliver a quick fix. 

Building and growing your business takes time so it’s important you’re patient and that you do the work. What you put in, you’ll get out but only you’ll only achieve the results you seek if you dedicate yourself to attending the sessions, doing your homework and challenging yourself. The more you immerse yourself in the homework I set, the better prepared you’ll be for achieving your goals and desired business outcomes.

Mindful marketing can help you gain clarity but it’s when you do the work that you can have a profound impact on your business and hopefully experience growth. You’ll get the most out of your time with me by doing your homework and coming prepared to discuss the teachings and how they relate to you and your business.

It’s also important to understand that I can help you write your strategy, but I can’t control the outcome as there are so many factors involved in your business and your marketplace.

Be open minded to the process and the work and be prepared to let go of your expectations and see where this journey takes you. Approach our work together with honesty and openness so you can really benefit from my services.

If you’re dedicating yourself to the Mindful Meditation Membership and are practicing Yoga Nidra meditations, it’s important you exercise common sense when doing these meditation and do so in a safe place and not be in the move or driving your car.

11. Professional advice
While my Yoga Nidra meditations can be really profound for anxiety and stress, I’m not a mental health professional. If you have any concerns or experience any symptoms that worry you, please seek professional mental health or the relevant medical advice if you need it.

12. Suitability
My offerings and programs are suitable if you’ve worked in the Corporate world and have already made the leap into running your own business at least 12-18 months ago.

You’re ready to take your business to the next level and are seeking to do this in a different, more mindful way.

You’re committed to your business and own personal and professional growth and development. I gel the best with people who are ready and able to do the work required to achieve their business and growth aspirations and will commit their time and energy to the live, recorded and homework elements of my programs. 

13. Unsuitability
You might not be a good fit for my offerings and programs if you don’t have a business idea or you’re still heavily entrenched in your corporate career. If you’re yet to get into the trenches of running your own business, you may not be ready for the mindful work involved in my programs to achieve your desired results and outcomes.

If you’re not ready to commit to doing the work and show up with dedication, enthusiasm and a positive mindset, you’re likely not the right fit for my programs or working with me.

14. Waiver of Liability
I do not make any guarantees or warranties about the accuracy of any material displayed on this website, with the exception of any non-excludable consumer guarantees and other consumer protection provisions set out in the Australian Consumer Law. I am human and errors creep in despite the best of intentions. If you see something that doesn’t seem right, please let me know.

It’s your responsibility to be available at the agreed time. If you do not show up after 10 minutes from the agreed time, I will cancel the appointment. If emergency unforeseen circumstances arise, please notify me as soon as possible and I’ll be happy to reschedule your appointment free of charge. For all other reasons for being late or missing, your session will be lost.

19. Refund Policy & Consumer Guarantees

Change of mind
I do not offer a refund if you change your mind, so you are encouraged to consider carefully whether a purchase is right for you before you make your payment. However, please email me at hello@msemilymay.com within 24 hours of purchase so we can endeavour to discuss your concerns and attempt to find a mutually acceptable solution.

20. Minor problems
I consider it to be a minor problem if either of our internet access drops out during a call and either or both of us are unable to complete the call. In this instance, I will seek to reschedule to a time that is convenient for both of us.

I also consider it to be a minor problem if either of us become ill and cannot attend a session. I request you please provide me with at least 24 hours notice and I will do the same for you. If either of us are unable to attend due to an unexpected emergency, we agree to let one another as soon as possible. I am happy to postpone sessions when I receive notice at least 24 hours upfront or if there is an emergency that needs to be attended to immediately. However, please be aware that I reserve the right to forgo the full fee or commitment of missed sessions or sessions that are canceled at the last minute.

21. Major problems
I consider it to be a major problem if you have a long period of illness, the need to care for a family member, or another unforeseen event where you have to pause our work together for an extended period of time. Given many of my programs are group based and have capacity limits, I reserve my right to not provide a refund. Alternative options will be arranged at my discretion, and while I will try to accommodate you, this cannot be guaranteed. 

If you feel there is a major problem with any product or service I have provided, please contact me to discuss the issue at an early stage.

22. Limitation of Liability
I take my obligations under Australian Consumer Law seriously and will do my best to address any issues that arise. However, even if there is a major problem, my liability is strictly limited to:
  • providing the services again; or
  • if I am unable to do so within a reasonable time, paying the cost of having the relevant services supplied to you again.

23. Cancel Ongoing Supply
If you have subscribed to my Mindful Meditation Membership, you’re welcome to leave when your next direct debit falls due. 

If I make any changes to the format or delivery of my Mindful Meditation Membership, I will give you reasonable notice so you can determine if you wish to continue.

24. Respectful Communication

(i) Comments Policy
I reserve the right to delete any comments on my website or social media accounts which are rude, offensive or which I deem to be unacceptable. Keep it polite and play nicely, please!

(ii) Responsible Engagement
In our calls we may dive deep into your business and it may also cover personal areas. Please choose carefully what you share with the group, how you comment on experiences that others choose to share and respect the privacy and confidentiality of all members by not sharing anything that you hear outside the group;

We are all building businesses, and marketing and promotional activities are an important element of this. However, in order to prevent the Mindful Meditation Membership Facebook Group from being spammed with offers, we only allow promotional material and offers for an exchange of services to be posted on Wednesdays, using the hashtags #Ask or #Share.

Use the Facebook Group to share your learnings as this will allow you to experience and encourage a connected community. Sharing in a communal learning space activates your learning at an energetic level through connecting with other students and material. This will strengthen your ability to share your message and to bring to life your business and personal potential.

25. Third party content
From time to time, I may provide links to third-party sites. I am not responsible for any information provided on these sites, and the links are solely for your information or entertainment. I do not endorse any products they offer for sale and have no relationship with them.

26. Dispute Resolution & Jurisdiction

(i) Negotiation
If you have any concerns, issues or complaint arising out of your use of this website, my programs or services, or these terms and conditions, you agree to communicate with me with the intention of making a genuine effort to seek a win/win solution, and trying to resolve the dispute in good faith through negotiation and discussion. Please email me at hello@msemilymay.com and expect a response within 2 business days.

(ii) Mediation
“We” below refers to everyone involved in the dispute. 

If the dispute cannot be resolved by negotiation and discussion within 14 days, we agree to proceed to mediation with the assistance of an independent accredited mediator, seeking mediation online or by telephone if we are not both geographically located within 100kms of each other.

The mediator is to be appointed by agreement between us or, failing agreement within 21 days of the negotiation period ending, the person initiating the dispute will seek the appointment of a dispute resolution professional by the President of the Law Society of Victoria or similar neutral authority.

We agree to share all the costs of mediation equally between us.

We agree that neither of us will commence legal action until, in the opinion of the independent mediator, the potential for negotiation and mediation have been exhausted.

(iii) Non-Disparagement
If a dispute arises, we all agree that we will not engage in any public discussion about the issues, we will behave politely towards each other, and we will avoid any conduct or communication which might reasonably be expected to unreasonably interfere with any other person’s business or personal interests.

(iv) Jurisdiction
This agreement is subject to the governing law of Victoria, Australia. Regardless of where you live in the world, you irrevocably agree that if the dispute resolution processes fail, the courts of Victoria, and the Commonwealth of Australia, will have exclusive jurisdiction.
