New Guide Helps Practitioners Avoid Legal and Ethical Pitfalls in Digital Practice
The Californer/10349878

PETALUMA, Calif. - Californer -- A newly released book, Digital Ethics for Energy Healing Practitioners, provides essential guidance for navigating this complex terrain.

Authored by researcher Dawson Church, medical malpractice attorney Kelly Yousem, and integrative care specialist Anitha Vasudevan, the book addresses critical gaps in training related to telehealth, AI-assisted care, and digital client interactions.

"Many practitioners assume that moving online is simply a change in format," says Church. "In reality, it introduces entirely new layers of responsibility."

The book outlines key areas of risk, including:

• Clients relying on AI for mental and physical health information
• Inadequate informed consent for digital services
• Data breaches and confidentiality violations
• Use of non-compliant apps and platforms
• Documentation and liability in virtual care environments

The authors emphasize that even well-intentioned practitioners can unknowingly expose themselves to legal consequences. "The laws governing digital health are evolving quickly," says Church. "Practitioners need to understand not just what is effective, but what is compliant."
