About Evenstar:

Evenstar is an educational and consulting company. The programs, courses, consultations, and offerings by Evenstar are intensive journeys of learning and creative transformation. This website is provided for general illustrative and instructional purposes, and does not create a business or professional services relationship without the purchase of a product or service. Any information is provided for the sole purpose of education and is not to supplant any medical or psychological services. You are responsible for what you do with the information presented.

MaryAnn Copson cannot guarantee your experience or results – only you can do that. Please be aware that lack of compliance is the number one reason for lack of results in any life-changing program whether physical, mental, emotional or spiritual. Any life decisions you make are entirely yours and made only by your own original thinking. Any reliance on the information provided by MaryAnn Copson and Evenstar is solely at the user’s own risk. You are fully responsible for any actions you take as a result of anything on Evenstar’s websites or the associated email newsletters and downloadable materials and all other associated material including personal contact with MaryAnn.

This opportunity expires in one year from the date of cancellation or withdrawal. No credit is offered for Woman as Shaman Priestess Initiatory Training – if you withdraw early from this training you have broken your commitment and forfeit any remaining credit.

The content of these pages is for informational purposes only and is not intended as prescriptive or medical advice. Any statement that may be construed as medical has not been evaluated by the FDA. The lifestyle and nutritional suggestions in this material are not offered to treat, mitigate, cure or prevent disease, and should not be used as a substitute for sound medical advice. Health information presented is designed to be used in conjunction with the ongoing services of a trained licensed healthcare practitioner. We do not claim that products described treat, mitigate, cure or prevent any physical or mental condition or illness. Only medical doctors and drug companies whose large profits allow them to perform the sort of tests required by the FDA can claim that.

The services performed by MaryAnn Copson, Licensed Certified Nutritionist, are limited to consultation on the subject of nutritional matters and comprehensive lifestyle plans with alternative health and wellness considerations that are intended for the maintenance of the best possible state of general and nutritional health and performance and do not involve the diagnosing, prognosticating or treatment of disease. MaryAnn Copson, CN, is not a Medical Doctor and according to the government of the United States and the State of Virginia is not qualified for medical diagnostic or treatment procedures. Her work includes no medical evaluation or assessment, nor any interpretation of any medication information, medical testing, and/or any medical conditions or illness.

All Evenstar herbal products are sold without warranty and are specifically formulated and packaged individually and as such are not returnable. Descriptive names of herbal products do not imply a medical, curative, or preventive effect and are based solely upon traditional herbal wisdom and unsubstantiated anecdotal evidence. Herbal products are not intended for use in the cure, mitigation, treatment, or prevention of disease.

It is important to make the distinction that, whenever MaryAnn may refer to “medicine” in connection with anything that she is doing, she is not talking about conventional allopathic medical treatments. Traditional native cultures often refer to medicine as something that gives power and completion to a person and this is the definition that we use in conjunction with MaryAnn’s Native American heritage and training whenever referring to any product or service of MaryAnn Copson and Evenstar.
