Terms & Policies

Maternal Menace provides neuro-informed pediatric sleep coaching for families with children from newborn through age five. Coaching includes the Sleep Blueprint, a virtual consultation, a personalized written sleep plan, implementation and follow-up calls, and a defined period of messaging support as described on the coaching page at the time of purchase.

Maternal Menace also offers adult sleep coaching — one-to-one sessions for adults about their own rest — and the self-paced rest course for adults. Adult sessions are sold individually or in packages, include a short intake form, and require a signed adult coaching agreement before the first call.

All coaching, for children and for adults, is educational and supportive in nature. It is not medical care, therapy, psychotherapy, CBT-I or other clinical treatment, or a clinical evaluation, and no diagnosis of any sleep disorder is offered.

Sleep coaching does not diagnose, treat, or cure any medical, developmental, or mental health condition. Nothing in the coaching package, the parent portal, the Sleep Tracker, or any written plan should be treated as medical advice.

Always talk with your child's pediatrician or healthcare provider about medical concerns, including breathing difficulties, snoring, reflux, feeding concerns, growth concerns, seizures, or any sudden change in your child's health or behavior. If your child needs urgent care, contact your provider or emergency services.

Adult sleep coaching and the adult rest course are likewise educational. They do not diagnose or treat insomnia, sleep apnea, restless legs, circadian rhythm disorders, anxiety, depression, or any other condition, and they are not a substitute for care from a doctor, sleep clinic, or licensed therapist. Please talk with your healthcare provider about persistent sleeplessness, loud snoring or pauses in breathing, or any change in your health, and before changing medication.

If you are struggling with your own mental health, you deserve support too. In the US, you can call or text 988 for the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline.

Messaging in your private portal is the main way we work together. You can message anytime during your support period; replies come during office hours, not around the clock, and messaging is not for emergencies. Phone or video calls are scheduled ahead of time through the portal — included calls are part of your package, and extra calls can be added anytime.

Parents in a coaching family can also talk about their own sleep and rest through the same account and message thread.

Coaching calls are scheduled through the parent portal. Please give at least 24 hours' notice to reschedule a call. Cancellations with less than 24 hours' notice, and missed calls, may be counted as used.

To get the most from your consultation, please complete the Sleep Blueprint and at least three consecutive days of sleep tracking before your first call.

Coaching packages and add-ons are paid in full at the time of purchase. Prices are listed in US dollars.

For a $99 founding-family package, you may request a full refund before your Sleep Blueprint is completed. Once it is completed, contact us to discuss your circumstances; further refunds are reviewed case by case, with no automatic refund promised. For the standard $349 coaching package, $149 covers the intake and consultation portion and is non-refundable once the Sleep Blueprint has been submitted or the consultation has taken place. Refund requests before that point can be made by emailing hello@maternalmenace.com. Approved full refunds end access to the coaching areas of the portal.

Add-on services require an active coaching package and are non-refundable once the service has been delivered.

The limited $99 founding rate is offered with a request for honest feedback after your first consultation, to help improve the service. Your experience does not need to be positive. You may share feedback privately; permission to publish a testimonial is separate and optional. If you choose to allow a public testimonial, you may use “Anonymous parent” instead of your name. We do not publish your child’s details.

We will not charge the difference between the founding rate and the standard price if you do not provide feedback or a testimonial. The amount due is the amount shown at checkout; we will not charge a later fee without your express agreement.

Every child is different. Sleep coaching provides a plan, guidance, and support, but results depend on many factors including your child's temperament, health, development, household routines, and how consistently the plan is applied. No specific outcome or timeline is promised.

You are responsible for your child's safety at all times, including safe sleep practices appropriate to your child's age, and for deciding whether any suggestion fits your family. You agree to provide accurate information during intake and tracking, and to keep your account credentials private.

Information you share during coaching is kept confidential and is used to support your family. It is not sold or shared with third parties for marketing. Limited exceptions apply where disclosure is required by law or where there is a concern about the immediate safety of a child.

Sleep plans, guides, worksheets, and other materials provided during coaching are for your family's personal use. Please don't resell, republish, or distribute them.
