Terms of use

Effective November 3, 2026

About these terms

This website, pawsintheelements.com, is run by Paws in the Elements Integrative Wellness LLC ("Paws in the Elements", "we", "us"). By using the site or its free resources, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the site.

Education, not veterinary or medical advice

Rachel Stephensen is a veterinarian, but the content on this site, including articles, audio, downloads and emails, is general education about the human-animal relationship and nervous system regulation. It is not veterinary, medical or mental health advice, diagnosis or treatment.

Using this site, signing up for a resource or contacting us does not create a veterinarian-client-patient relationship, or any other professional relationship. Somatic coaching is not a substitute for care from your own veterinarian, doctor or licensed mental health professional. Always talk to them about your animal's health or your own, and do not delay seeking care because of something you read here.

In an emergency, contact your veterinarian, an emergency animal hospital, or your local emergency services right away.

No guaranteed results

Every person and every animal is different. We share practices and perspectives that have helped others, but we cannot promise any particular result for you or your animal. You are responsible for how you use what you learn here.

Programs and purchases

Nothing can be bought directly on this website. When a program opens for enrolment, it will come with its own enrolment terms, including any refund policy, which you will see before you pay. Those terms apply to that program alongside these website terms.

Free resources

Free resources such as The 3-Minute Field Reset are for your own personal use. Please do not resell, republish or share the files themselves. You are welcome to share a link to this site instead.

Using the site responsibly

Please do not misuse the site: no attempts to break or overload it, no automated scraping of forms, and no sending of spam or harmful content through them.

Disclaimer and limit of liability

The site and its resources are provided "as is", without warranties of any kind. We work to keep the information accurate and the site available, but we cannot guarantee either. To the fullest extent the law allows, Paws in the Elements Integrative Wellness LLC and Rachel Stephensen are not liable for any indirect, incidental or consequential loss arising from your use of the site or its free resources. Nothing in these terms limits any rights you have that cannot be limited by law.
