Not Medical, Psychological or Nutritional Advice

Celeste-Marie Valentine is not a medical doctor, surgeon, psychologist, psychiatrist, dietitian, nutritionist or other registered healthcare professional. Nothing on this website, in any downloadable resource, or in any conversation, session or correspondence with Celeste-Marie should be understood as:

• Medical advice or diagnosis
• Psychological or mental health treatment
• Nutritional or dietary prescription
• A substitute for consultation with a qualified healthcare professional

I do not diagnose. I do not prescribe. I do not provide medical advice. I do not replace the important work of your doctor, surgeon, psychologist, dietitian or any other member of your healthcare team.

What I Do Instead

My role is to provide personal, practical and emotional support for the lifestyle, confidence and everyday-life changes that often accompany significant weight loss, whether through surgery, weight-loss medication or lifestyle change. This may include conversations about preparing emotionally for change, adjusting to a changing body, building confidence, personal style, self-care, social situations, returning to work, and ongoing encouragement.

This support is intended to complement, not replace, the care provided by your healthcare team.

Always Consult Your Healthcare Team

Any decision regarding your medical treatment, medication, surgery, mental health or nutrition should always be made in consultation with a qualified, registered healthcare professional. If you are experiencing a medical or psychological emergency, please contact your doctor, visit your nearest emergency room, or contact the relevant emergency services immediately, do not rely on this website or on Celeste-Marie for urgent or emergency support.

No Guarantee of Outcomes

Every person's journey is different. Nothing on this website should be understood as a promise or guarantee of any particular result, outcome, timeline or experience. Individual results will vary, and references to personal transformation, confidence or wellbeing describe the intention and nature of the support offered, not a guaranteed outcome.

General Information Only

Any articles, guides, downloads or other content published on this website (including future Library/resource content) are provided for general informational purposes only. They are not tailored to your individual circumstances and should not be relied upon as personal advice.

Working Alongside Healthcare Professionals

Where Celeste-Marie works alongside a client's healthcare team, or receives a referral from a healthcare professional, this collaboration does not create a clinical, diagnostic or treatment relationship. Celeste-Marie's involvement remains personal support only, and healthcare professionals remain solely responsible for the clinical care of their patients.

Your Responsibility

By using this website or engaging with Celeste-Marie's services, you acknowledge that you remain responsible for your own health decisions, and that you will continue to seek the advice of appropriately qualified healthcare professionals for any medical, psychological or nutritional concerns.
