Catherinebarnhoorn.com is a personal website with an online store that provides you with Catherine Barnhoorn’s products and services (books, meals plans, health coaching).

Use of Site

You may only use this site to browse the content, make legitimate purchases and shall not use this site for any other purposes, including without limitation, to make any speculative, false or fraudulent purchase. This site and the content provided in this site may not be copied, reproduced, republished, uploaded, posted, transmitted or distributed. ‘Deep-linking’, ‘embedding’ or using analogous technology is strictly prohibited. Unauthorized use of this site and/or the materials contained on this site may violate applicable copyright, trademark or other intellectual property laws or other laws.

MEDICAL DISCLAIMER

The contents of this website are for informational purposes only and are not intended to be a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. 

Always seek the advice of your physician or other qualified healthcare provider with any questions you may have regarding a medical condition.

ADVERTISING DISCLOSURE

Please note that some of the links used in this website may be affiliate links, meaning Catherine Barnhoorn will earn a small commission (at no cost to you) if you decide to make a purchase after clicking through those links.

AFFILIATE DISCLOSURE 

In keeping with the trust and transparency I wish to maintain with you, I am disclosing that some of the links on this website are affiliate links. I have only included links which compliment the content of this website. At no additional cost to you, I (Catherine Barnhoorn) will earn a small commission if you decide to make a purchase, which helps maintain this website and support myself and my daughter.  

Please note that I have not been given any free products, services, or anything else by these companies in exchange for mentioning them. The only consideration is in the form of affiliate commissions in the event of a purchase, and you should assume that any links leading you to these items are affiliate referrals.  

Having said that, I only link to products that I would promote (and have promoted before I discovered affiliate programs) simply because I believe in or have used the products. While some are my own books, others are third-party products and services that I have investigated and truly believe deliver value or benefits to you.  

I (Catherine Barnhoorn) am a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com. Pages on this site may include affiliate links to Amazon and its affiliate sites on which the owner of this website will make a referral commission.  

I (Catherine Barnhoorn) am also a participant in the following affiliate programs (this may not be the full/current list):  Food Matters Barnes and Noble Changing Habits Institute For Integrative Nutrition Hay House Mindvalley Nutrition Network  

What is an Affiliate Link? 

Many (but not all) of the links on catherinebarnhoorn.com are affiliate links. This means that a special tracking code is used and that I may make a small commission on the sale of an item if you purchase through one of these links. The price of the item is the same for you whether it is an affiliate link or not, and using affiliate links helps me to maintain this website and support myself and my daughter.  Again, for simplicity, assume that any link on catherinebarnhoorn.com is an affiliate link and that I may/will make a commission if you purchase through these links (though the price remains the same for you).  

When Do I Use Affiliate Links? 

If I post an affiliate link to a product, it is something that I personally use, support and would recommend without an affiliate link. Unless noted otherwise, any product I link to is one I have purchased myself and use for myself or my daughter.  My first priority is always providing products and information to help you live a delicious and nutritious life and to otherwise enable you to create positive changes in your and your children’s lives. I will only ever link to products or resources (affiliate or otherwise) that fit within this purpose.  I sometimes review items that are sent to me for free. All of my opinions regarding them are my own. I only endorse products that are in alignment with my ideals and that I believe would be of value to my readers and clients.
