I, Chelle Nelson, hereby certify that as a professional spiritual practitioner, I proudly honor the code of ethical principles as outlined below:

Keep Confidential. A client's trust is highly valued, and everything shared within the client-practitioner sphere is kept strictly confidential. It is ethical only to disclose confidential information only when the client consents to it or when there is a real and imminent threat of harm to the client or others, and this threat can be only diffused by a breach of confidentiality.

Respect Rights. I respect the rights and preferences of my clients, my students, and my spiritual colleagues. I also agree to respect a person's right to refuse or accept help on their terms and will never force a reading, a message, my opinions, or my lifestyle on those who choose to withhold.

Do No Harm. I understand that abilities have been gifted to me by Spirit to use only in serving the highest and greatest good of all involved. I also understand that should my gifts be used in ill will; they will be relinquished. I understand that my gifts are solely intended for healing, helping, and supporting others, and I strive to always use my resources appropriately, in the best way possible, and only in benefit to my community, which I am part.

Withhold Judgement. I owe my clients and my colleagues complete loyalty, and I agree to only provide spiritual services when I can do so as an unbiased and clear vessel. I will not allow my judgment to be influenced by personal profit, unfair discrimination, or my own emotions. I agree to certify that which I have only personally verified.

Colleagues. A spiritual professional never undermines other colleagues to attract his or her own clients and only behaves towards his/her colleagues as she/he would wish them to behave towards him/her. When necessary, he/she communicates with colleagues who are involved in the care of the same individual, and this communication respects confidentiality, where only the necessary information is conveyed.

Volunteer Hours. I strive to provide the resources that I have to those who need and excel above the national average of 100 volunteer hours per year, providing education, grief support, and spiritual support to those in need when called and when called upon. I provide emergency care as my humanitarian duty, and only when I am assured that others are willing and are able to give such care in my absence do I rest.

Musings and Teachings. I certify that all of my shared works are originals, birthed from original ideas, original life experience, and my own professional experience and expertise. When they are not, topics are appropriately credited and cited.

Providing Services. I only offer those services that I believe will genuinely help the client, student, or colleague at their highest level. No service will be provided or prepared if it will not ultimately be what is truly best for the client. When examining an issue is beyond my capacity, I will refer to a network of trusted professionals.
