PARENT'S ROLE
As a Parenting and Sleep Expert, I am dedicated to helping parents and children develop healthy sleep habits. As set forth in this agreement below, in consideration of the mutual promises and conditions made here and for other good and valuable consideration, we agree to the following:
Your participation is important for the sleep program to be effective. You agree to:
o Complete and submit Client History Form at least (1) day prior to your first phone call.
o Keep a sleep/wake/eating log during the time we are working together.
o Carry out the steps in the sleep plan we develop.
o Communicate openly with me about any questions and concerns you have about your child’s sleep, including any special needs, health issues, medical conditions, and emotional situations.
o Discuss your experiences so we may make any adjustments needed to the initial plan.
Support weeks on Full Consultations must be used within ONE month of your consultation should you choose to postpone them. If support is not used within the month, the service will be considered done/delivered and no refund will be available thereafter for unused time.
You are acknowledging that the effectiveness of our sleep plan depends upon consistent follow through on all elements of the plan both during and after our work together. Good sleep habits are a way of life, not just a quick fix. Sign here that you have read & understand your role in the sleep process.

Payment is due at time of booking. All consultations take place via phone, or within the Portland area (unless prior arrangements have been made otherwise or out-of-state.)

Refunds will not be offered for any consultation time that has already been provided.
