Your clients' words are some of your most powerful marketing tools — but using testimonials and photos without a signed release puts you at legal risk. Whether you're posting a glowing review on Instagram, featuring a client photo on your sales page, or quoting someone in your email newsletter, you need documented permission first.

This Testimonial & Photo/Likeness Release Form makes that simple. Written in plain, straightforward English by a licensed attorney, it's a short, professional document your clients are happy to sign — because it respects their preferences while giving you the rights you need to market your business with confidence.

Already have a coaching or service agreement? This release is designed to complement it — send it at the end of a program or session when your client is celebrating results and ready to share.

🪄WHAT'S INCLUDED: Testimonial & Photo/Likeness Release Form

A standalone release document that covers both written testimonials and photo use in one form:

•Grant of Permission — Testimonial — non-exclusive, royalty-free, perpetual, worldwide license to use, publish, and distribute client testimonials across your website, social media, email campaigns, printed materials, sales pages, and more

•Grant of Permission — Photo & Likeness (Optional) — checkbox format so clients can opt in or out of photo and likeness use independently

•Display Preferences — client selects exactly how they want to be credited: full name, first name and last initial, first name only, city and first name, or anonymous

•Editing & Accuracy — your right to edit for length, clarity, and formatting without changing the meaning; client confirms their testimonial is truthful

•No Compensation — clearly documents whether any compensation or consideration is being exchanged

•Revocation — client's right to request removal of their testimonial from active use at any time

•Governing Law — state law designation

•Client Signature Block

🪄HOW TO USE IT

Download the file, fill in your business name and state, and send it to clients at the natural moment they're ready to share — end of a coaching program, after a transformational session, or when a client reaches out spontaneously to rave about their experience. Works for coaches, readers, energy healers, circle facilitators, retreat hosts, and any spiritual practitioner who collects client feedback.

👁️ WHO THIS IS FOR

This template is designed for: spiritual business owners who want to use client testimonials in their marketing legally, coaches and practitioners who ask clients for reviews or photos, anyone running a launch, sales page, or social proof campaign who needs documented permission on file, and practitioners who already have service agreements and simply need a standalone release to round out their legal toolkit.
