Terms and conditions.
Last updated: April 30, 2026.
shorehugger.com is a small lifestyle brand. This page covers the basic rules for using the website (shorehugger.com), the newsletter, the shop, and any paid offering like coaching or similar services.
Short version: be kind, don't steal my work, pay what you owe, and know that I'm a person — not a therapist, doctor, lawyer, or financial advisor.
Using the website
By using shorehugger.com or engaging with any related site or service, you agree to these terms. If you don't agree with them, that's fine — please don't use the site or services.
You agree to use the site for its intended purpose: reading, subscribing, shopping, and booking. Don't try to break it, scrape it, copy it wholesale, or use it to harass anyone (including me).
I reserve the right to update these terms when something material changes. The date at the top of this page will tell you when.
What's mine, what's yours
Everything I publish on shorehugger.com - the writing, photographs, illustrations, dispatches, the brand mark, the playbook templates - is mine, or used with permission. You're welcome to share a link with credit. You're not welcome to republish, repackage, or resell my work without asking first.
Anything you send me - an email, a survey response, a comment - stays yours. By sending it, you give me permission to use it for the purposes described in the privacy policy. If I want to quote you publicly by name, I'll ask first.
The newsletter
The newsletter is free. Subscribing means you're okay with me sending you seasonal notes and the occasional dispatch about new offerings. You can unsubscribe with one click at the bottom of any email and that's the end of it - no friction, no follow-up.
The shop
If shorehugger sells physical objects, here's the deal:
Prices and availability can change without notice.
I do my best to describe and photograph each object honestly, but small variations are part of the point — most things in the shop are vintage, handmade, or one-of-a-kind.
If something arrives damaged or wrong, email me within 14 days at shorehugger.co@gmail.com and we'll make it right.
Otherwise, returns are case-by-case. Each object is small-batch, and I'd rather you only buy something you really want.
Paid services
Booking a Self-Strategy Day or any other paid offering means you and I are agreeing to the following:
What I'll do: deliver everything described on the sales page — the calls, the playbook, the integration call, the supporting materials — within the timeframe we agree on.
What you'll do: pay the agreed amount up front (via Stripe), do the prep work, show up to the calls, and engage in good faith.
Rescheduling: life happens. Reach out and we'll find a new time. I ask for at least 24 hours' notice when possible.
The guarantee: if you do the prep, show up to all of our scheduled calls, and follow through on your offsite, and you don't leave with at least one real shift in how you're spending your time — email me within 30 days of the integration call and I'll refund you in full. Cheap to honor on my side; meaningful on yours.
Outside the guarantee, refunds are case-by-case. If we haven't started yet, I'll refund you minus any time already spent. Once the playbook is delivered, the work is done.
What this isn't
shorehugger is a coaching and lifestyle practice. It is not therapy. It is not medical care. It is not legal advice. It is not financial advice. I'm not a licensed therapist, doctor, lawyer, or financial advisor, and nothing on this site or in any session should be treated that way.
If you're in crisis or dealing with something a professional should handle, please reach out to someone qualified. I'm happy to be one part of how you take care of yourself - I'm not the whole picture.
You're responsible for your own decisions, before, during, and after working with me.
Limits of liability
I'll do my honest best work. But I can't promise specific outcomes - I can't guarantee a particular career change, a saved relationship, a finished book, or a feeling. Personal change is yours to do.
To the fullest extent allowed by law, my liability for anything related to the site, the newsletter, the shop, or a paid offering is capped at the amount you actually paid me (and for free things, that's zero).
Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of California. If we ever have a dispute we can't resolve over email, it'll be handled in the courts of San Francisco County, California. I'd rather we just talk it out, though.
