2. Nature of Services & Scope of Practice

Clinical Services (US Patients)

Clinical evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment services are provided to patients located in the United States in compliance with Virginia licensure requirements and applicable telehealth laws. A valid clinical relationship is established only through a formal intake process, clinician review, and mutual agreement to enter into a provider-patient relationship.

International Services — Scope Limitation

Important notice for international patients: Services provided to patients located outside the United States are delivered in a wellness coaching, health education, or non-clinical consultation capacity unless a specific licensed clinical relationship has been expressly established in writing and is legally permissible under the laws of your jurisdiction. Engagement with our Virtual Global Holistic Healthcare Model does not by itself create a physician-patient relationship governed by US clinical standards for international participants.

Not a Substitute for Emergency Care

Our services — clinical and non-clinical — are not a substitute for emergency medical care. If you are experiencing a medical emergency, call your local emergency services immediately. Do not use our platforms, forms, or messaging systems to communicate medical emergencies.

Non-Clinical Coaching & Wellness Programs

Our holistic wellness coaching programs and non-clinical offerings do not constitute the practice of medicine, the rendering of medical diagnoses, or the prescribing of treatment. Participants in non-clinical programs acknowledge that they are engaging with health and wellness education and coaching, not clinical medical services, and that results are not guaranteed.

3. Virtual Global Holistic Healthcare Model

The Virtual Global Holistic Healthcare Model is a proprietary service delivery framework developed by Holistic Family Practice VA to extend integrative and holistic healthcare access to patients and wellness clients globally through secure digital platforms. Use of this model is subject to all terms herein and the following additional provisions:

  • All virtual consultations are conducted through HIPAA-compliant, encrypted platforms.
  • You are responsible for ensuring your technology (device, internet connection, software) meets minimum requirements for participation.
  • Time zone differences are accommodated at our discretion. We operate on US Eastern Time for scheduling purposes.
  • Virtual services are subject to the same fee schedules, cancellation policies, and payment terms as in-person services unless otherwise stated in writing.
  • We reserve the right to decline or discontinue virtual services to any jurisdiction where doing so would violate applicable law.
