You are responsible for ensuring that the information you provide during sign-up is accurate, complete, and up to date. If any information you provide changes, it is your responsibility to notify us so we can update your details accordingly.

3. Services Provided

Bond and Bloom offers an 8-week journaling program designed to support and nurture mothers throughout their unique journey of motherhood. Upon signing up, you will receive the following services:

• Weekly Journaling Prompts: Each week, you will receive tailored journaling prompts, designed to align with your stage of motherhood. These prompts aim to encourage reflection, growth, and self-care, offering a gentle space to connect with your thoughts, emotions, and experiences.
• Private Journaling Space: You will have access to a private journaling space where you can record your responses to the prompts, reflect on your personal journey, and track your progress over the 8-week period. This space is designed to offer you a quiet, secure environment for self-expression, growth, and introspection.

The journaling program is designed to be flexible and adaptable to your own pace. While you will receive weekly prompts, you may choose to engage with the journaling at your own convenience. There is no obligation to complete the prompts within a specific timeframe, as this program is intended to offer a peaceful, self-guided experience.

Please note that Bond and Bloom will send weekly reminders to encourage your participation, but it is up to you to make the most of the journaling prompts and your private space. You will not be charged extra for any additional time or support beyond the 8-week program period.
