In the Texas wellness industry, the line between coaching and unlicensed medical advice is a significant legal risk. Utilizing an employment contract tailored to Texas law ensures your practice is protected under at-will employment standards while explicitly defining a coach's 'Scope of Practice' to mitigate results liability. This document integrates vital disclaimers regarding health advice, incorporates mandatory Texas Business and Commerce Code non-compete requirements, and establishes a clear professional framework for goal setting and holistic accountability.
Beyond the standard employment contract sections, this template adds fields specific to Wellness Coach:
An employment contract establishes a formal employment relationship between an employer and an employee, outlining the terms and conditions of employment, rights, obligations, and responsibilities of both parties. It provides legal protection and clarity, ensuring compliance with employment laws and minimizing the risk of misunderstandings and disputes.
Scope of Practice Violations
Contracts should clearly define the services offered and include disclaimers that coaches do not provide medical advice or therapy.
Results Liability
Use of disclaimers in contracts stating that results are not guaranteed and depend on client commitment and personal efforts.
Unlicensed Health Advice
Written agreements that emphasize the coaching role is advisory, not prescriptive or diagnostic, recommending clients to consult licensed healthcare providers.

Under Texas Business and Commerce Code § 15.50, a non-compete must be ancillary to an otherwise enforceable agreement and reasonable in scope. For wellness coaches, this means the restriction must be limited in geographical area and duration to protect the employer's client base and intake protocols without being unconscionably restrictive.
Yes. To avoid 'Unlicensed Health Advice' liabilities, the contract should explicitly state the coach is not a licensed physician or therapist. This follows recommendations to mitigate Scope of Practice violations and clarifies that holistic wellness plans are advisory rather than diagnostic, complying with Texas consumer protection standards.
Texas is an at-will employment state. Unless otherwise specified, either party can terminate the relationship for any lawful reason. Your contract should explicitly state this status while also outlining specific notice periods to ensure a smooth transition for coaching clients and their ongoing accountability plans.
