TERMS AND CONDITIONS

⚓ Smooth Sailing Life Academy

Welcome! I’m delighted you’ve chosen to embark on this journey with me in the Smooth Sailing Life Academy. It is my greatest hope that the experience will provide you the tools and answers you seek.

Before we get started, it’s important to lay out the values and boundaries that shape how we work together here. 

These Terms and Conditions are intended to protect both your experience and the integrity of the community and content.

Disclaimer

All of the offerings within Smooth Sailing Life Academy — including courses, videos, downloadable tools, emails, and live events — are designed for educational and personal development purposes only.

Although I am a retired physician with a career in psychiatry and physician wellness, I am not acting as your doctor or therapist through this platform. Nothing shared here is meant to diagnose, treat, prevent, or cure any medical or mental health condition. If you’re struggling, I encourage you to connect with a licensed healthcare provider. If you're in crisis, please seek immediate support from your local emergency services or mental health hotline.

Personal Responsibility

The Smooth Sailing Life Academy offers tools, metaphors, and reflective exercises to help you better understand where you are — and where you want to go. Ultimately, this is your voyage. I encourage you to take what resonates, leave what doesn’t, and seek any additional support you may need along the way. Your choices and outcomes remain your own.

Course Access & Use

When you enroll in a course, you receive one limited, non-transferable license to access the content for your own personal, non-commercial use. 

My courses are thoughtfully priced to reflect the value they offer and to help cover the ongoing costs of creating and maintaining this learning experience. Your enrollment provides continued access to the course for personal use. I kindly ask that you do not share your login with others — each registration supports the work and helps sustain this community. To be clear, sharing your login or distributing any course materials outside of the learning platform is not permitted. 

If you find the content useful and are interested n arranging for an educational experience for a larger audience such as a class, team, or organization, I would love to hear from you. E-mail me at:  [email protected]

Gift Subscriptions 🎁 

If you feel that inner nudge to share a Sailing Life Academy course with someone you care about, send them a gift subscription!  

Please note: Gift enrollments are subject to the same Terms of Use and are intended for one individual per license. Gift purchases are non-refundable.

Payment & Refund Policy 💳

All course purchases are non-refundable. Like many digital offerings, access is granted immediately and cannot be reversed. 

If you have questions before registering, don’t hesitate to ask — I want you to feel confident in your decision.

Intellectual Property

Every part of the Smooth Sailing Life Academy — including the nautical metaphor, logo, video lessons, and downloadable resources — is the original work of Dr. Linda Worley and protected by copyright and trademark. You may not copy, share, republish, or modify any materials without written permission.


Community Guidelines

This is a community grounded in kindness, reflection, and growth. Members engage with one another extending support and mutual respect. Disruptive, harmful, or offensive behavior may result in removal from the course or platform without refund.

Final Word - I wish you a wonderful journey!

This Academy is here to serve as a compass, not a prescription. My hope is that it helps you navigate life more intentionally — with clarity, courage, and alignment.
