A nutrition coaching agreement sets out the session package, cancellation terms, and client health disclosure — plus the clause a personal training agreement has no reason to state: that the coach is not a licensed dietitian, nutritionist or physician.

This document is a general-purpose template provided for information only. It is not legal advice, it does not create a lawyer–client relationship, and nobody has reviewed it against your situation.
Laws differ by country, state and province, and they change. A clause that is standard in one place can be unenforceable — or illegal — in another. Terms that are ordinary between two businesses can be void in a consumer or employment context.
Read every clause before you use it, fill in every blank, and delete anything that does not apply. For anything high-value, unusual, or that you could not afford to lose a dispute over, have a qualified lawyer in your jurisdiction review it before it is signed.
These are the fields and clauses a nutrition coaching agreement needs. Leaving one out doesn’t necessarily void the agreement, but each gap is a spot where a client and coach can end up disagreeing about what was actually agreed — or about what the coaching was ever meant to cover.
Client & coach names
Full legal names (or registered business name for the coach), addresses and contact details for both sides.
No medical advice / not a dietitian
A clear statement that the coach is not a licensed dietitian, nutritionist or physician (unless stated), that coaching is general wellness guidance only, and where the client should go for medical or clinical nutrition needs.
Client health disclosure
Medical conditions, allergies, medications, pregnancy status and any history of disordered eating, disclosed so guidance can be tailored — not so the coach takes on a medical role.
Session package & cadence
Number of sessions, length, frequency, and format (video, phone or in person).
Fees & payment terms
Package price, payment timing, late fees, and whether the package auto-renews.
Cancellation & no-show policy
How much notice cancels a session without charge, and what happens to a missed session with none.
Confidentiality of health information
How the coach keeps the client's disclosed health information confidential and what it can be used for.
Signatures & date
Both the client and the coach sign and date the agreement. It isn't binding until both have signed.
A personal training agreement is built around supervising exercise; its health disclosure exists so a trainer can adapt a workout safely. A nutrition coaching agreement is built around something a reader is far more likely to mistake for clinical advice: guidance about what to eat. That makes the scope of the engagement the single most important clause in the document, not a formality at the bottom of the page.
The template above states it plainly and early: unless the coach’s specific credentials say otherwise, the coach is not a licensed dietitian, registered nutritionist or physician, the coaching is general wellness and nutrition guidance only, and it does not diagnose, treat or replace care for any medical condition. It tells the client where to go instead — a physician or registered dietitian — and calls out the situations where that matters most: an existing medical condition, pregnancy or breastfeeding, a possible eating disorder, or medication that could interact with a dietary change.
The health disclosure the client completes sits right alongside this clause and is tied back to it: it exists so the coach can tailor general guidance sensibly, not to expand the coach’s role into treating whatever the client discloses. That pairing — collect the information, then say plainly what it is and isn’t used for — is what keeps the agreement from being read as clinical advice it never was.
