3. Private 1:1 Support Sessions
I understand that conversations surrounding motherhood, autism, and personal experiences can be deeply personal.
Any information you choose to share during a private 1:1 support session will be treated with care, sensitivity, and respect.
Information shared during these sessions will not be used for marketing or published as testimonials without your permission.
Confidentiality may be limited where disclosure is required by law or necessary to respond to a serious safety concern.
These sessions offer personal reflection and emotional support and are not a substitute for professional medical, psychological, or therapeutic care.
Please avoid submitting sensitive medical or family information through website forms unless it is necessary for your inquiry.

4. Online Purchases and Payments
This website may offer books, original artwork, fine art prints, journals, and other digital products.
When you place an order, information necessary to process your purchase may be shared with trusted third-party service providers, including:

• Payment processing services.

• Website and e-commerce providers.

• Printing and fulfilment partners.

• Shipping and delivery providers.

Only information reasonably necessary to complete your order or provide the requested service will be shared.
Third-party providers may process your information according to their own privacy policies.

5. Email Subscriptions and Communications
When you subscribe to my mailing list, you may receive occasional emails featuring personal reflections, new releases, resources, artwork, and updates.
You can unsubscribe at any time using the unsubscribe link included in marketing emails or by contacting me directly.
I respect your inbox and will not knowingly add you to promotional mailing lists without an appropriate basis for doing so.

6. Website Hosting and Third-Party Services
This website is hosted on Wix.com, which provides the online platform used to share content, manage bookings, collect inquiries, and sell products.
Personal information may be processed or stored using Wix and other third-party providers involved in operating the website.
Depending on the services used, personal information may be processed or stored outside your country of residence, where different privacy laws may apply.
Reasonable steps are taken to work with reputable service providers and protect the information entrusted to this website.

This website uses cookies and similar technologies to support essential website functionality, improve the browsing experience, and, where enabled, understand how visitors use the website.
Some cookies are necessary for the website to function properly. Other cookies, including optional analytics or marketing cookies, may require your consent.
Where a cookie consent tool is available, you can manage your preferences through that tool. You can also control or delete cookies through your browser settings.
Disabling certain cookies may affect website functionality.

8. Data Security and Retention
I take reasonable steps to protect personal information from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or misuse.
Information is retained only for as long as reasonably necessary to provide requested services, manage business records, fulfil legal obligations, or resolve disputes.
Although reasonable safeguards are used, no internet-based system can guarantee absolute security.
