While we train and certify these individuals in the PMA method, each coach operates independently and is not an employee, agent, or representative of PMA or its affiliated entities.

We are not responsible for the actions, practices, or sessions conducted by any independent coach trained in the PMA method. Each coach is solely responsible for their own business practices, client relationships, and the outcomes of their sessions.

If you have any concerns regarding the work or practices of a specific coach, we recommend addressing them directly with the coach in question. PMA and its owners are not liable for any claims or disputes arising from the services provided by independent coaches.
