In New Jersey, a wellness coach's employment must be carefully structured to avoid the unauthorized practice of medicine while adhering to the New Jersey Law Against Discrimination (NJLAD) and the Conscientious Employee Protection Act (CEPA). This contract protects your holistic practice by clearly defining the coaching scope, establishing mandatory disclaimers regarding health advice, and ensuring compliance with NJ’s 'Blue Pencil' doctrine for non-compete enforceability. By documenting accountability measures and intake form protocols, you mitigate risks associated with results liability and unlicensed health advice under federal FTC and state-specific guidelines.

This contract includes specific disclaimers clarifying that services are advisory and holistic, ensuring the coach refers clients to licensed healthcare providers as required by best practices and state oversight.
