Terms of Use
Hokua Health LLC — last updated October 19, 2026
These terms explain how to use this website and what to expect when you work with me. They apply to everything on hokuahealth.com and to sessions booked through it.
By using this site or booking a session, you agree to them. They're written in plain language on purpose — if anything here is unclear, write to me and I'll explain it before you book.
Who I am
This website and my practice are operated by Hokua Health LLC, a Florida limited liability company, led by Dr. Kate Schmidle, PhD. I'm based in Honolulu, Hawaii, and sessions take place by telehealth. You can reach me at Heal@HokuaHealth.com or (727) 288-6880.
This is not medical care
Sessions with me are complementary wellness support. They are not a substitute for medical care, diagnosis, or treatment, and I do not diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease or medical condition.
The information on this website is for informational purposes only and is not medical or psychological advice. My role is as a complementary wellness practitioner, not as a licensed medical or mental health professional.
Please keep working with your healthcare providers, and don't stop or change any medication, treatment, or care plan because of anything you read on this site or experience in a session. If something comes up for you medically, talk with your doctor first.
If you have or suspect a medical or mental health concern, consult an appropriate licensed healthcare professional. Never disregard professional advice or delay seeking care because of something on this website or discussed in a session.
If you are having a medical or mental health emergency, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room. I'm not able to provide emergency support.
What a session involves
Sessions are booked for 90 minutes and take place by telehealth, so you can join from anywhere convenient. The healing work itself usually takes an hour to an hour and fifteen minutes — the rest of the time is for settling in, talking through what's coming up, and any questions afterwards.
The work draws on Brain Network Attunement and related mind-body approaches.
I aim to offer a safe, comfortable, professional session and treat you and your health concerns with discretion and respect.
Because sessions ask for your full attention, please keep the whole 90 minutes free and join from a private, comfortable space where you won't be interrupted — and never while driving or operating machinery.
Booking a session
You can start from the Connect section on this site, complete the intake form, or email me directly. New clients are asked to complete the intake form before the first session so I can prepare properly.
A session time isn't held until we've confirmed it and payment arrangements are in place, as described below.
Rescheduling and cancellations
Life happens, and I hold my session times for you. If you need to reschedule, please give me at least 24 hours' notice and I'll happily find you another time.
Sessions cancelled with less than 24 hours' notice, and sessions you don't attend, are charged in full. If something comes up on my end, I'll let you know as early as I can and offer you a reschedule or a credit toward a future session.
Pricing and payment
Current pricing for single sessions and multi-session series is listed in the Invest in Your Health section of this site. Payment details are arranged privately between us before your session is confirmed.
If you're not sure which option fits, ask me before you book — I'd rather point you in the right direction than have you guess.
Results vary
Every person's nervous system, history, and life are different. Nothing on this site — including testimonials, case studies, and the outcomes described — is a promise about what will happen for you. No results are guaranteed.
What I can promise is careful, attentive, honest work, and that I'll tell you if I don't think I'm the right person to help with something.
Case studies and testimonials
Case studies and testimonials appear on this site only with the person's permission, and identifying details are changed so no one can be recognized. If you've shared your experience with me, you can ask me to remove it from the site at any time.
These accounts describe individual clients' experiences. They are anecdotal, not a substitute for scientific research, and do not guarantee or predict the outcome of your session.
Your information
What I collect from you and how I care for it is described in the Privacy Policy. Your intake answers, session notes, and correspondence stay confidential and are never sold.
Website content
The writing, images, logo, and overall design on this site belong to Hokua Health LLC. You're welcome to read it, print it for your own personal use, and share a link to any page. Please don't copy, republish, or use the content commercially without my written permission.
Anything you create, share, or bring to a session stays yours.
Links to other sites
This site links to LinkedIn, YouTube, Google Maps, and similar services. Once you click through to one of those, you're on their site and under their terms and privacy practices — I'm not responsible for what they do with your information.
External links are offered as informational resources. A link does not mean I endorse everything on that site, and I cannot guarantee its availability, accuracy, or content.
Use of this site
I do my best to keep this site accurate and running, but I don't promise it will be uninterrupted or error-free. Please use the information here at your own judgment and risk. To the fullest extent the law allows, Hokua Health LLC isn't liable for any loss or damage arising from use of this site or from sessions.
Changes to these terms
From time to time I update this page as my practice grows. The date at the top shows when it was last revised, and the updated terms apply from the moment they're posted.
Questions
If anything here needs clarifying, or you'd like to talk through what working together would look like, write to me at Heal@HokuaHealth.com. I read every message.
