1.     Disclaimer

By choosing to work with Lara’s Little Dreamers, you understand that the support I provide is not a substitute for medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Please consult your doctor or other suitably qualified professional if you have any concerns regarding your child’s (or your own) health or well-being. Any information I give around feeding or nutrition is also for information purposes only and should not replace professional lactation or dietary support.

​

2.    Responsibilities:

I (Lara Gouws – Lara’s Little Dreamers) will:

• Provide a pre-consultation sleep questionnaire and sleep diary template (subject to the support package chosen)

• Analyse your pre-consultation sleep questionnaire and sleep diary in advance of our consultation (subject to the support package chosen)

• Provide a full written summary and sleep plan following our consultation (subject to the support package chosen) within 72 hours of our consultation, unless otherwise mutually agreed

• Provide follow-up support according to the package chosen

​

You (the client) will:

• Pay the agreed consultation fee at least 48 hours prior to the consultation date

• Send me (via email) your completed sleep questionnaire and sleep diary (subject to the support package chosen) at least 72 hours prior to the consultation date

• Not share your provided sleep plan with third parties – this plan is bespoke to you and your child

• Make every effort to carry out the sleep plan consistently and as mutually agreed

• Acknowledge that any changes you make to your child’s sleeping arrangement are your own decision and responsibility. I will only make suggestions and will not be liable for the implementation of these changes

• Work within safe sleep guidelines, notify me of any unsafe sleep practices, and understand that YOU are responsible for your baby’s safety, not me

• Disclose any medical condition that your baby has that may have an impact upon how they sleep and would be useful for me to know when creating a bespoke sleep plan

• See your GP, paediatrician, or other medical specialist if you have any concerns about your child’s health or well-being

• Be available for the consultations at the agreed time, and inform me as soon as possible in advance of the consultation if there are any delays that mean you will be late

• Discuss any concerns or complaints with me in the first instance

​

3.    Availability

For packages that include ongoing support, my availability is as describe on the respective package or product’s page on www.laraslittledreamers.com

​

4.   Guarantees

I cannot and do not guarantee a particular result (such as your little one sleeping through the night), or a particular timeframe within which you will see results. I will, however, use my efforts to support you and your child to improve their sleep situation. Ultimately, it depends on your child and you alone if and how you achieve results. I also guarantee that I will never use (or suggest that you use) cry-it-out, Ferber, or any other method that will require you to leave your child alone to cry.

5.    Cancellation/refund policy

You can cancel at any time for any reason. I may ask why you have chosen to cancel in order to improve my services going forward, however you are under no obligation to give any reasons if you do not want to.

For cancellations made more than 48 hours before your appointment or for re-scheduled appointments due to illness or other exceptional circumstances, there will be no charge. For cancellations less than 48 hours prior to the appointment, 50% of the paid amount will be refunded. If you cancel after a package has begun, you will be refunded MINUS the cost of the services/consultation you have already received. This will be calculated and communicated with you.

If I have to cancel our appointment for any reason then I can do so without notice (though I will of course aim to give you sufficient notice) and I will offer an alternative appointment time at no extra cost to. you, at a time convenient to both parties.

If, after reading your sleep diary/questionnaire, I feel like a different approach or alternative support would be more appropriate for you, I will issue a full refund regardless of how soon the appointment is.

​

6.    Pricing & payments

I may change my prices from time to time. Changes in price will not affect any purchases already made, but will apply to any subsequent purchases.

Payments need to be made in full at least 48 hours prior to the consultation date, unless otherwise agreed with me.

Promotions and discount codes are valid on the specified support packages only, and for the specified time only.

7.    Changes to terms and conditions

I may need to change my terms and conditions occasionally. If this is the case and you have an active support package, I will inform you of the changes and the reason behind them as soon as possible, and provide a full refund if you are no longer wanting sleep support as a result of these changes.

8.   Safeguarding

When working with Lara’s Little Dreamers, you understand that should there be any concerns about the welfare of your child or any other vulnerable people within your household, I have a legal duty of care to report these to the relevant health and/or safeguarding services in your local area.

9.    Feedback, compliments, or complaints

If you would like to provide positive feedback or compliments after working with me, this would be hugely appreciated! You can do this either directly via email or via the contact form on my website. If I wish to share any of this feedback either on my website or social media as a testimonial I will ask your permission first, and also completely anonymise it if you would like me to.

I hope that you will be completely happy with the support you receive from me, however if you are unsatisfied with my services for any reason, please contact me in the first instance so that we can try to resolve it.

​
