Val Duthil

1. Nature of Services

All services provided by Val Duthil — including hypnotherapy, spiritual hypnotherapy, and sound healing — are complementary and holistic in nature. They are offered for the purposes of personal growth, insight, relaxation, and general wellbeing.

​

These services do not constitute, and are not a substitute for, medical, psychological, psychiatric, legal, or financial advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Val Duthil is not a licensed medical practitioner, psychologist, or psychiatrist and does not diagnose or treat medical or mental health conditions.

​

2. Not Professional Advice

Nothing communicated during a session — whether verbal, written, or intuitive — should be interpreted as professional medical, psychological, legal, or financial advice. Clients are strongly encouraged to seek guidance from appropriately qualified and licensed professionals for any medical, mental health, legal, financial, or personal matters.

​

3. Hypnotherapy

Hypnotherapy is a complementary practice that uses guided relaxation and focused attention to support personal growth and positive change. It is not a medical procedure and does not replace conventional medical or psychological treatment.

​

Clients with a history of epilepsy, psychosis, severe depression, dissociative disorders, or other significant neurological or mental health conditions are advised to consult their healthcare provider before booking a hypnotherapy session. Val Duthil reserves the right to decline or discontinue a session if she reasonably believes it may not be appropriate for a client's current state of health.

​

Clients remain in full awareness and control throughout a hypnotherapy session. Hypnosis is a natural state of focused relaxation — clients cannot be made to do or say anything against their will.

​

4. Spiritual Hypnotherapy

Spiritual hypnotherapy sessions may include past life regression, meet your guides, and other metaphysical or spiritually-oriented experiences. These sessions are offered for personal exploration, reflection, and insight only.

​

Any experiences, impressions, or information arising during a spiritual hypnotherapy session — including but not limited to past life memories, guidance received, or metaphysical imagery — are subjective and interpretive in nature. Val Duthil makes no claims as to their literal accuracy or factual truth. These experiences are not a statement of past, present, or future events and do not constitute psychological diagnosis or treatment.

​

5. Sound Healing and Energy Clearing

Sound Healing sessions may include energy clearing and Reiki at the client's request on the day of the session. These services are offered as complementary practices to support relaxation, energetic balance, and general wellbeing. They are not a substitute for medical treatment and are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any condition.

 

Clients with sound sensitivities, hearing conditions, pacemakers, or other relevant medical conditions are advised to consult their healthcare provider before booking a sound healing session and to disclose any relevant conditions prior to their appointment. Clients who are pregnant are advised to inform Val Duthil prior to booking, as certain instruments including the gong are not recommended during pregnancy. Val Duthil reserves the right to modify or decline a session to ensure the safety and wellbeing of the client.

 

 

6. Intuitive Guidance

On occasion, intuitive impressions may naturally arise during a session, including during the initial consultation, hypnotherapy, or sound healing. Any such impressions are offered in the spirit of support and personal reflection only. They do not constitute a psychic reading, prediction, diagnosis, or professional guidance of any kind, and clients are encouraged to use their own discernment in how they receive and apply any such information.

​

7. No Guarantee of Results

Val Duthil acts as a facilitator to support clients through their own process of exploration, healing, and personal growth. While many clients experience meaningful shifts and positive outcomes, results are not guaranteed. The effectiveness of any session is dependent on a range of individual factors and varies from person to person.

​

Past client experiences or testimonials shared on this website are personal accounts and are not a guarantee of future results.

​

8. Client Responsibility

By booking a session with Val Duthil, clients confirm that they:

• Are mentally and physically able to participate and that doing so does not conflict with their current medical or psychological care

• Have disclosed any relevant medical, psychological, or other health conditions prior to their session

• Take full personal responsibility for their experience during and after sessions

• Understand that any decisions, actions, or interpretations made before, during, or after a session are made voluntarily and at their own discretion

• Are solely responsible for seeking appropriate professional support before, during, or after sessions if required

​

9. Emotional Risk Acknowledgement

Sessions may involve exploration of sensitive, emotional, or unexpected subject matter. Clients acknowledge and accept this possibility. Val Duthil is not responsible for psychological distress or emotional responses arising from session content. Clients are solely responsible for seeking appropriate professional support if needed.

​

10. International Clients

Val Duthil offers services internationally via online platforms. By booking or participating, clients acknowledge that they are responsible for ensuring that participation in complementary or holistic services is lawful within their own jurisdiction.

​

11. Limitation of Liability

By booking and participating in any session, clients voluntarily agree to release Val Duthil (Valerie Duthil) from any and all claims of liability, damages, or injuries resulting from their participation.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Val Duthil disclaims all liability for any loss, injury, claim, damage, or expense — whether direct or indirect — arising from participation in any service or use of this website, including but not limited to any decisions made by a client as a result of a session.
