Welcome to Maria Jean Holistics and The Forest Nook ("we," "our," or "us"). This website represents the offerings, classes, and wellness services provided under both names.

1. General Disclaimer
The content shared on this website is intended for informational and educational purposes only and does not substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. All classes, workshops, and services offered at The Forest Nook are designed to support general well-being. They are not intended to treat or cure any physical, mental, or emotional conditions.

Always consult your healthcare provider before starting any new wellness practice, especially if you are pregnant, have a medical condition, or are healing from injury. Participation in any offerings is voluntary and done at your own risk. The Forest Nook and its instructors are not liable for any injuries or adverse effects resulting from attendance or engagement.

2. Cancellation Policy
Due to the limited class size (maximum of 8 participants), we ask that all cancellations be made at least 24 hours in advance.

  • Late cancellations (within 24 hours) or no-shows may be charged the full class fee.

  • For workshops or special events, a 48-hour cancellation window applies unless otherwise stated.
    This policy helps us honor the space and give others the chance to attend.

3. Photo + Media Release
From time to time, photos may be taken during classes, events, or workshops to share the spirit of The Forest Nook with our online community. By attending, you grant permission for your image to be used in promotional materials, social media, and marketing unless you notify us in advance.
We fully respect your privacy — just let us know if you’d prefer not to be photographed.

4. COVID + Community Safety
The Forest Nook is committed to creating a space that supports nervous system regulation, well-being, and community care.

  • Please stay home if you are feeling unwell or experiencing any symptoms of illness.

  • We sanitize shared props and encourage hand washing before and after class.

  • Masks are not required but are welcomed if they help you feel comfortable.

We trust each student to take personal responsibility and practice mindfulness in shared spaces.

By booking or attending a class, you agree to these terms. Thank you for being part of our growing, grounded community.
