AI Ethics Statement

At Kateleppard.com, we are committed to providing compassionate, trauma-informed, and ethically sound services to all of our clients. We believe in the power of creativity, embodiment, and healing through art and somatic practices.

To support our mission of helping more individuals and making our content more accessible, we occasionally use artificial intelligence (AI) tools for non-therapeutic purposes such as content creation, course development, and marketing. These tools assist in generating ideas, brainstorming, and organizing materials in a way that allows us to better serve you and create resources more efficiently.

However, AI is never used in the direct therapeutic process. All client interactions, including therapy sessions, assessments, and personalized guidance, are provided personally by me—Kate Leppard, a registered art therapist and somatic educator.

Here’s how AI is used in our business:
    •    Marketing & Content Creation: AI assists in drafting blogs, social media posts, and email content. We ensure that all AI-generated content is reviewed and tailored to align with our ethical standards and your needs.
    •    Course & Resource Development: AI helps us brainstorm ideas and develop content for self-paced courses, workshops, and educational resources.
    •    Business Administration: AI supports in organizing schedules, automating reminders, and assisting with client communications.

What AI is not used for:
    •    Therapy sessions or personalized therapeutic guidance
    •    Client assessments, diagnoses, or decision-making

​Why we use AI:
AI tools allow us to streamline tasks, provide more accessible resources, and spend more time focusing on what truly matters—supporting your journey of healing, creativity, and self-discovery.

We value transparency and are here to answer any questions you may have about our use of AI. If you ever have concerns, please feel free to reach out directly.

Thank you for trusting us to guide you on your healing journey.

With warmth and care,
Kate Leppard
Art Therapist & Somatic Educator
