This serves as a legally binding contract of service. Please save copy of this for your records.

 You are agreeing to the coaching package as described on the website.

1)My Services.  I offer an initial consultation so we can meet and discuss your child’s sleep patterns and living environment. I request that you complete a Client History form and return it to me at least 2 days prior to our appointment. Your timely return of the Client History form is essential so that I have the background information I need to adequately prepare for our meeting. During the consultation I will ask you for any other information you would like to share that will help me create a plan to improve your child’s sleep, discuss the Gentle Sleep approach, and answer any questions you may have. After the initial consultation, I also offer 8 short follow up calls. During these calls, I will review your sleep log, provide additional support to you, answer your questions, and discuss possible changes to the initial plan. Usually these follow ups are spread out over 2 to 3 weeks.

2) Your Role. Your participation is important for the sleep program to be effective. You agree to:

• Keep a sleep/wake/eating log during the time we are working together.
• Carry out the steps in the sleep plan we develop.
• Communicate openly with me about any questions and concerns about your child’s sleep, including any special needs, health issues, medical conditions, emotional situations.
• Discuss your experiences so we may make any adjustments to the initial plan.

You acknowledge and understand that the sleep coaching program’s effectiveness depends upon consistent follow through on the program both during and after our work together.

3) Contacting Me.  You may call me anytime. Please leave a message if I do not answer. I will call you within one hour during regular business hours or by the next day if you call after hours.

4) Cancellation. If you decide to cancel or reschedule your consultation, I ask that you notify me at least one business day in advance so that I may offer your appointment time to another tired family.

5) Insurance. I do not accept insurance. You may submit my invoices to your insurance company, but I cannot guarantee reimbursement for my fees or for expenses you may incur for the coaching sessions.

6) Confidentiality. I will keep the information you give to me confidential. You understand there are circumstances where I may be required by law to disclose information (for example, court order) and if that occurs, you release me from this obligation, only for the information I am required to disclose.

7) Fees. My fee for my Gentle Sleep Coaching package is $595.00 which is for the initial consultation and the 8 follow up calls adding up to no more than 3 hours. This fee is due before the initial consultation. If you would like to purchase additional coaching time, you can book a Strategy Session at the rate of $80.00 for 45 minutes.  

8) Payment Method and Expenses. I accept cash, check, Venmo, and credit card (via my website grooveparenting.com). You will be responsible for any expenses for materials needed to implement the sleep plan. Any unused follow up calls will be refunded. Additional services may be agreed upon by the Parties and separate payment shall be provided for said additional services. Any issues with payment should be communicated to Liz Lowy via e-mail immediately at [email protected].

9) My Services are not Medical Advice. You understand that I am not a medical professional and will not advise you on medical conditions or make medical diagnoses. You also understand that your child’s sleep patterns or difficulty sleeping may be symptomatic of a condition for which medical intervention or medical treatment is advised. If you have any reason to believe that your child’s sleep difficulties may be related to a medical condition or that your child has health concerns that may be adversely affected by sleep coaching, it is advisable to consult with your child’s doctor before beginning the sleep coaching process. You are solely responsible for discussing any possible medical conditions with your child’s physician or other health professional. You understand that you assume primary responsibility for the health of your child and, to the extent permitted by law, you will not hold me or my practice responsible for any outcomes resulting from complications that are outside of my control.
