If you do not agree, please do not access our services.

“Services”: the coaching, hypnotherapy, timeline therapy, brainspotting, or other wellness services offered by Dear Life.

Provision of Services
3.1 We will use reasonable skill and care to provide the Services in accordance with your booking and these Terms.
3.2 We may amend, suspend or discontinue any Service (or part thereof) at our discretion, provided we act reasonably and give notice where practicable.

4.2 You agree to cooperate with us and provide any requested information or documentation necessary for the Services.
4.3 You agree not to rely on the Services as a substitute for medical or mental-health advice where such professional advice is required.
Booking and Payment Terms
5.1 Bookings are confirmed upon your acceptance and payment of the required Fees, as displayed at time of booking.
5.2 Fees must be paid in advance (unless otherwise agreed). All amounts are in AUD, and you are responsible for any bank or card processing fees.
5.3 If you cancel or reschedule a booking less than 24 hours before the session, the fees may be forfeited or a cancellation fee applied, unless we agree otherwise in writing.

Payment Policy
To secure your place and begin the Dear Life Optimisation process, the following applies.
PAYID: +61 403 388 515 — PAYID: karen@dearlife.com.au
5.5.1 50% Deposit (Non-Refundable). A 50% non-refundable deposit is required once your Client Intake Form is completed and submitted. This confirms your booking, covers pathology administration, analysis prep, and locks in your consultation window.
5.5.2 Remaining 50%. The remaining 50% balance is due before your consultation, and your full Dear Life Optimisation Report is released upon payment.
Why a 50% Non-Refundable Deposit
Your pathology forms and analysis begin immediately after intake.
Significant time is invested before your appointment.
It ensures committed clients and maintains the concierge-level service standard.
It prevents late cancellations and unpaid work.
