Policies & Boundaries
Clear agreements create safety. These policies outline how we hold space together so you can explore freely within a well-defined container.
Scope of Practice
Kimberly Bryant is an intimacy and embodiment coach.
While this work often complements therapy and can deepen therapeutic integration, she is not a licensed therapist, psychologist, psychiatrist, psychoanalyst, or medical professional.
Her work is experiential, somatic, and exploratory. It focuses on personal responsibility, embodied awareness, relational patterns, power reclamation, and nervous system integration.
This is coaching.
It is not clinical treatment, mental health therapy, diagnosis, or medical care.
If you are experiencing active crisis, require psychiatric support, or need medical treatment, you will be referred to appropriate licensed professionals. Coaching can work beautifully alongside therapy, but it is not a replacement for it.
Personal Responsibility
All participants are responsible for their own physical, emotional, and psychological well-being.
You are encouraged to move at your own pace. You are always allowed to pause, opt out, modify an exercise, or step away.
This work invites depth. It does not require self-abandonment.
By participating in sessions, workshops, or retreats, you acknowledge that you are choosing to engage voluntarily and take responsibility for your own experience.
Consent & Boundaries
Consent is foundational in all containers held by Kimberly Bryant.
Nothing is ever required.
All exercises are invitational. Clear communication is encouraged at all times. You may say no, change your mind, ask questions, or request clarification.
Power dynamics, intimacy exploration, and embodiment work are handled with care and transparency. Any exploration involving touch or partnered practice is optional and discussed clearly beforehand.
Your autonomy matters.
Consent & Physical Contact
This retreat includes embodiment practices that may involve optional partner or group-based exercises such as mirroring, grounding support, guided proximity, or light, structured touch.
All physical interaction within this retreat is:
- Fully consent-based
- Clearly guided
- Optional at all times
Participants are responsible for:
- Verbally communicating their boundaries
- Asking for consent before initiating touch
- Respecting a “no” immediately and without question
No participant is required to engage in any touch-based exercise. Observing, modifying, or opting out is always available.
Facilitators will model consent language and provide clear structure around any physical exercises.
Any violation of consent, coercion, or boundary crossing may result in immediate removal from the retreat without refund.
Eros & Container Integrity
This retreat explores embodiment and Eros as life force energy. Emotional, energetic, and relational responses may arise as part of that exploration.
This is not a dating event and is not structured for romantic or sexual pairings.
The container prioritizes personal reclamation, self-connection, and mutual respect.
Participants agree to maintain clear boundaries and avoid pursuing romantic or sexual dynamics during retreat programming hours.
The integrity of the container is essential to the safety and depth of the experience for all women present.
Emotional Safety & Regulation
This work may bring up emotion, memory, sensation, or previously suppressed experiences.
That is normal.
You are encouraged to seek outside therapeutic support if deeper processing arises beyond the scope of coaching.
Kimberly facilitates contained, intentional spaces for exploration — but she does not diagnose, treat trauma, or provide psychotherapy.
Confidentiality
Confidentiality is honored within one-on-one sessions and expected within group containers.
Participants agree to respect the privacy of others and not share personal stories, disclosures, or identifying information outside of the container.
Public testimonials or shared reflections will only be used with explicit permission.
Payments & Financial Policies
All payments are required in advance unless otherwise arranged in writing.
Deposits are non-refundable.
For retreats and group experiences:
- All payments are non-refundable due to the advance planning and limited capacity of these events.
- If you are unable to attend a retreat, you may transfer your ticket to another eligible participant with prior written approval.
- Payment plans must be completed according to the agreed schedule.
Appropriate Conduct
That Deeper Feeling is a space for mature, respectful, emotionally responsible adults.
Harassment, manipulation, coercion, discrimination, intoxication during structured programming, or violation of consent will not be tolerated.
Kimberly reserves the right to remove any participant from a session or retreat without refund if behavior compromises the safety or integrity of the container.
Physical Touch & Somatic Work
Some offerings may include somatic practices or consensual, structured touch within clearly defined boundaries.
Touch is never assumed. It is discussed beforehand. It requires verbal agreement. It may be revoked at any time.
You are never obligated to participate in touch-based exercises.
Media & Photography
Photos or videos at retreats or workshops will only be taken with clear consent.
No participant will be photographed, recorded, or publicly shared without prior agreement.
Intellectual Property
All teachings, frameworks, written materials, exercises, and branded language shared through That Deeper Feeling are the intellectual property of Kimberly Bryant.
Materials may not be copied, reproduced, distributed, or repurposed without written permission.
Final Note
This work is about reclamation.
It is about embodied choice.
It is about permission — permission to feel, to question, to soften, to expand, and to choose yourself without apology.
Participation in any offering signifies agreement with these policies and boundaries.
