Terms of Service
Effective: May 12, 2026
Welcome
These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of the Excell Holistics website (nyokanicolesamuels.com), the content on it, and the services offered through it. By visiting this website, signing up for our newsletter, taking the Holistic Wellness Check, purchasing the book, applying for coaching, or otherwise engaging with Excell Holistics, you agree to these Terms.
Excell Holistics is operated by Nyoka Nicole Samuels, MSN Ed, RN, IHC. If you have questions about anything in these Terms, you can reach Nyoka directly at nyoka@nyokanicolesamuels.com.
If you do not agree with these Terms, please do not use this website or our services.
What Excell Holistics offers
Excell Holistics provides holistic wellness coaching, education, and resources designed primarily for nurses and healthcare professionals. Our offerings include:
- Free content — wellness notes (newsletter), blog posts, and the Holistic Wellness Check self-assessment.
- Free events and masterclasses — live group sessions hosted via Luma.
- Books and digital resources — purchased through our payment partner, Stripe.
- 1:1 holistic health coaching — personalized coaching available by application.
- Speaking engagements and team wellness facilitation — by inquiry.
Specific offerings, prices, and availability may change at any time. We will update this website to reflect current offerings.
Eligibility
You must be at least 18 years old to use this website or any of our services. Excell Holistics is designed for adult healthcare professionals and is not intended for minors.
By using this site, you represent that you are at least 18 years of age, have the legal capacity to enter into these Terms, and will use the site and services only for lawful purposes.
Important: this is coaching, not medical care
Excell Holistics offers wellness coaching, education, and support. We are not a medical practice. Nothing on this website, in our emails, in the self-assessment, in our books, or in any coaching session constitutes medical advice, diagnosis, treatment, mental health therapy, psychological counseling, or substitute care for any condition.
Although Nyoka Nicole Samuels is a Registered Nurse and an Integrative Health Coach, when she is acting in her capacity as a coach for Excell Holistics, she is NOT acting as your nurse, your therapist, your doctor, or any other licensed healthcare provider. No nurse-patient relationship, therapist-client relationship, or other clinical relationship is established by your use of this website or our coaching services.
Always seek the advice of your physician, mental health professional, or other qualified healthcare provider with any questions you may have regarding a medical condition, mental health concern, or before making any changes to your treatment, medication, exercise, or nutrition. Never disregard professional medical advice or delay seeking it because of something you read, heard, or discussed through Excell Holistics.
If you are in crisis, experiencing a medical emergency, or having thoughts of self-harm, please call 911 (US), 988 (US Suicide and Crisis Lifeline), or your local emergency services immediately. Excell Holistics is not equipped to provide crisis intervention.
Your information
When you sign up for our newsletter, take the Holistic Wellness Check, apply for coaching, purchase the book, or otherwise contact us, you are responsible for the information you provide. You agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information, and to keep it accurate, current, and complete.
You are responsible for maintaining the security of any login credentials you use to access third-party services connected with us (for example, Stripe for purchases or Calendly for scheduling, if applicable).
How we handle your information is described in our Privacy Policy.
Free content and events
We offer free content — newsletters, the Holistic Wellness Check, blog content, and free events. Access to free content does not create any contractual relationship between you and Excell Holistics beyond your agreement to these Terms and our Privacy Policy.
Free events are hosted through Luma. By registering for a free event, you also agree to Luma's terms and privacy policy. We reserve the right to limit attendance, reschedule, or cancel events. If we cancel an event, we will notify registered attendees and aim to reschedule when possible.
Free content is provided "as is." We do our best to share useful and accurate information, but we make no guarantees about specific results from reading, watching, or participating.
Book purchases
Book purchases are processed through our payment partner, Stripe. When you purchase a book, you also agree to Stripe's terms and privacy policy. We do not see, store, or have access to your credit card or banking information.
Pricing and currency
Prices are listed in US dollars unless otherwise noted. Prices may change at any time, but changes will not affect orders already placed.
Refunds and returns
All book sales are final. Due to the nature of self-published works, we do not offer refunds. If your book arrives physically damaged, please contact us within 7 days of purchase at nyoka@nyokanicolesamuels.com and we will work with you to resolve the issue.
If Nyoka chooses a different policy (for example, a 30-day satisfaction guarantee, refund within an unread window, or store credit only), we will update this section. The policy in effect at the time of your purchase is the one that applies.
1:1 Coaching: applications
To work with Nyoka in a 1:1 coaching capacity, you must complete a coaching application via nyokanicolesamuels.com/coaching. Submitting an application does NOT guarantee acceptance into the coaching program. Nyoka reviews each application personally and will follow up to discuss fit, scope, and next steps.
Nyoka reserves the right to decline any application for any lawful reason, including but not limited to: fit, capacity, scope of need (for example, if Nyoka believes you would be better served by a licensed clinical provider), or readiness.
If Nyoka does not believe coaching is the right fit, she will tell you and, where possible, suggest alternative resources.
1:1 Coaching: services and payment
If your application is accepted and you choose to move forward, you and Nyoka will enter into a coaching engagement. The specifics of that engagement — including session frequency, duration, pricing, payment schedule, and scope — will be agreed upon separately before coaching begins, either in writing or through a signed coaching agreement.
Payment
Coaching fees are due in advance of each session or package as specified in your coaching agreement. Payment is processed through Stripe. Failure to pay may result in suspension or termination of services.
Cancellations and rescheduling
Sessions cancelled with at least 24 hours' notice may be rescheduled within 30 days at no charge. Sessions cancelled with less than 24 hours' notice, or missed entirely, are forfeited and not refunded. Emergencies are handled case-by-case at Nyoka's discretion.
Refunds on coaching
Coaching fees, once paid, are non-refundable. If you wish to discontinue coaching, you may do so at any time, but no refund will be issued for sessions already paid for but not yet used unless explicitly agreed in writing.
Specific coaching engagements may include their own written agreement that supplements or modifies these defaults. If there is a conflict between these Terms and your specific coaching agreement, the coaching agreement governs.
Confidentiality
What you share in coaching sessions is held in confidence. Nyoka will not share the content of your sessions with anyone except as required by law (for example, if there is a serious risk of harm to yourself or others, or as required by subpoena or court order). This confidentiality is professional and ethical — not legally privileged in the way attorney-client or therapist-patient communications are.
