A Living Document of Integrity, Embodiment & Empowerment

 

Purpose Statement

This Code of Ethics is a living document that guides how I show up in my work as a spiritual life doula. It reflects my commitment to safety, integrity, and humility in service to others. It holds me accountable to embody what I teach, remain open to growth, and honor the sacred responsibility of walking beside others through their personal transformation.

 

Personal Code of Ethics

1. I Serve from Lived Experience, Not Ego

->I share my journey to empower, not to elevate myself.

-> I am not here to be placed on a pedestal, but to walk beside others as an equal.

-> I am proud of the work I’ve done, and I remain teachable and open to learning more.

-> I believe the human experience is sacred. We are here in this body, in this life, and in this time for a reason. Any belief, teaching, or spiritual narrative that disconnects us from this reality—especially as a way to avoid pain, accountability, or embodiment—will be compassionately challenged. We will always go deeper together to explore why that narrative is present and what it’s protecting.

 

2. I Create Safe and Trauma-Informed Space

-> Safety is my top priority. I recognize that spiritual, emotional, and energetic safety must be foundational in every interaction.

->If a narrative or personal “truth” is expressed in a way that risks causing harm—to my client or others—I will not remain passive.

-> I will respond with directness, clarity, and care. I will always explain why I’m addressing it, how it may be impacting the space, and what we can do together to restore trust and alignment.

->There are times when firmness and energetic redirection are necessary to protect the integrity of the space. I use discernment, not dominance, when guiding these moments.

->When discipline or containment is needed, I always check in afterward to explain my intention, reflect together, and ensure the client feels safe, heard, and respected.

->I do not believe in spiritual bypassing or sugarcoating when harm is present. My commitment is to co-regulation, repair, and growth—not comfort at the cost of integrity.

-> I honor personal boundaries and check in regularly to co-create safety with each client.

​

3. I Take Accountability with Grace

-> I welcome honest feedback and acknowledge when I make mistakes.

-> I do not use spiritual language to deflect criticism or shift blame.

->If harm occurs, I commit to repair, reflection, and change.

 

4. I Do Not Create Dependency

-> I guide people back to their own inner truth and strength.

-> My work is about empowerment and remembering, not attachment or authority.

-> I support others in leaving my space when it is time.

 

5. I Practice Spiritual Humility

-> I trust my wisdom but never assume it is absolute or superior.

-> I understand that others have their own timing, truth, and path—and I honor that.

-> I know that confidence is not control, and clarity is not righteousness.

 

6. I Exchange Energy with Integrity

-> I offer my work through clear, fair pricing and intuitive generosity.

-> I never pressure people to invest beyond their means, or equate payment with spiritual worthiness.

-> I hold the vision of one day offering my work freely, sustained by other sources.

 

7. I Stand for Depth, Not Perfection

-> I allow myself to be fully human in my work—imperfect, in process, and real.

-> I am not afraid of shadow, grief, or discomfort; I meet it with presence and compassion.

-> I understand that true healing is not “light and love,” but depth and honesty.

 

8. I Protect My Energy Without Closing My Heart

->I am discerning with who I serve, and I recognize when I’m not the right guide for someone.

-> I do not overextend, overgive, or abandon myself to be liked or needed.

-> I nourish myself spiritually and emotionally so I can continue this work sustainably.

 

9. I Center the Body and the Present Moment

-> My work is somatic because the body is our true home—it’s where truth, trauma, healing, and integration actually live.

->I support my clients in returning to their felt experience, not escaping into ideas, visions, or beliefs that take them out of themselves.

-> Anything that pulls us outside of ourselves—whether spiritual tools, guides, narratives, or bypassing beliefs—is gently but firmly challenged.

-> I do not see the human experience as something to transcend, but something to honor, deepen into, and live fully.

-> We explore together why a narrative or “truth” may have formed as a way to protect or disconnect—and we return, again and again, to the wisdom of the present moment.

-> Embodiment is the portal. The present moment is the teacher. And the body is the guide.
