The experience behind the work

Support that starts with listening.

I am a mother of five, a self-published author, and a professional with experience in training, banking, claims processing, and documentation. I have built tools for my own household and spent years preparing questions, organizing records, and making complicated information easier to use.

This work comes from years of managing family routines, preparing for school conversations, writing books, and making detailed information usable. Bring the unfinished version. I will listen first, help you decide what matters, and put the next step into words or onto a page you can use.

01

Tell me what is happening

Share the goal and the immediate obstacle.

02

Common questions

Before we work together

Do I need to have everything organized first?

No. Bring what you have and tell me what outcome matters. Sorting the material is part of the work.

Can you attend a school meeting or speak for me?

The introductory school service covers preparation and written materials. Meeting attendance or representation is not included.

Can you guarantee a particular outcome?

No. I can help you prepare, communicate clearly, and present your information. Other people make their own decisions based on the materials you submit.

Is a listening session therapy?

No. These conversations are for everyday situations, goals, and ideas. They do not include mental health assessment, diagnosis, treatment, or crisis support.

Will I need to share private records?

We can begin with a short description. Please wait for a secure process and a clear agreement before sending sensitive records about yourself or a child.

Service and payment policies

School meeting prep, individual Life coaching, Idea sounding board, and Listening appointments are booked and paid through Cal.com. For other services, we confirm the service, timing, and price by email before you pay. For questions about these policies, write to perspectiveandaplan@gmail.com.

Refunds

Optional planning video calls cost $20 separately from your project fee. Cancel at least 48 hours before your call for a full $20 refund. Cancel less than 48 hours before it, but before it begins, for a $10 refund. Completed calls are not refundable. Project refunds follow the terms below.

If you cancel at least 48 hours before your scheduled session or the agreed start of document or plan work, you receive a full refund for the unused service. If you cancel less than 48 hours before that start, but before work or the session begins, you receive 50% of the unused service amount. A completed session is not refundable.

For the $210 three-session coaching bundle, a completed session is valued at $75. The unused balance is $210 before the first session, $135 after one session, and $60 after two. A timely cancellation refunds that unused balance. A cancellation less than 48 hours before the next session refunds half of it. For example, canceling all three late returns $105; canceling the remaining two with at least 48 hours' notice after one session returns $135.

If document or plan work has already begun, we refund the portion not completed or delivered and explain the amount by email. If we cannot provide an agreed service, we refund the unprovided portion in full. Request a refund at perspectiveandaplan@gmail.com. Refunds go through Stripe to the original payment method.

Cancellations and rescheduling

Email perspectiveandaplan@gmail.com at least 48 hours before a scheduled session to cancel or request a new time. A rescheduled session must take place within seven days of the original date, subject to availability. If no suitable time is available within seven days, you may choose the refund described above.

Requests received less than 48 hours before a session cannot be rescheduled under this policy, but you may cancel before it begins for the 50% refund described above. A missed session without notice is considered used and is not refundable. If we need to cancel, you may agree to a new time or receive a full refund for the service not provided.
