Terms

Terms of Use

A short, plain description of how this website and its educational content may be used.

Who runs this site

This website is published by Peacefully Stronger, operated by Tammie Dowden in Minnesota, United States. Questions about anything on this page are welcome at hello@peacefullystronger.com.

“Peacefully Stronger™” and “The Peacefully Stronger Beginning™” are marks claimed and used by this business.

Educational content only

Everything published here is general education. It is not a diagnosis, not a treatment plan, and not a substitute for care from your own medical team.

Reading this site, writing in the journal, or sending a note does not create a professional, clinical, or therapeutic relationship. Please seek qualified care for anything that concerns you.

If you are experiencing an emergency, please contact your local emergency services.

No guaranteed outcomes

Every body and every history is different. Nothing on this site should be read as a promise of a particular result.

Where someone has kindly shared their experience, that is their own experience only. It is not a typical result and it is not a promise of what will happen for anyone else.

Accounts and your journal

The Conversations and the basic journal are free, and an account is only ever needed so your own writing can be kept for you across devices.

Please keep your password to yourself, and let us know if you think someone else has reached your account. Anything you write stays yours: you can delete an entry at any time, or ask for the whole account to be removed.

We look after your writing carefully, but no website can promise that nothing will ever be lost. If a piece of writing matters a great deal to you, it is worth keeping a copy of your own.

Care in person

Hands-on Connective Tissue Restoration is offered locally and is entirely optional — nothing here depends on it. When a time is arranged, it is held for you personally, and if plans change we will simply find another.

Hands-on care has its own separate intake, consent, and release paperwork, completed before any session. Using this website does not replace those documents and is not consent to hands-on care.

Personalized educational support

Eight Weeks of Steady Support is a separate service from the self-guided experiences, booked privately after Tammie and you agree it fits. It is one payment for a defined eight-week period; it does not renew automatically, and there is no subscription.

It is educational support, pattern review, conversation, and help choosing manageable next steps. It is not diagnosis, treatment, therapy, medical monitoring, urgent care, or supplement prescribing, and it does not replace your own licensed medical team. Taking it does not create a clinical or therapeutic relationship.

The secure weekly check-in is for brief, non-urgent notes and one reply. It is not monitored continuously. If something new or concerning arises, please contact your licensed medical provider; for an emergency, contact your local emergency services.

Nothing on the public pages of this site enrols you, schedules anything, or takes a payment for this service. Course prices, bundles, lifetime access and the refund terms above are unchanged by it.

Use of this content

You are welcome to read these pages, print a copy for yourself, and share links to them freely.

Please don’t copy, reproduce, republish, redistribute, sell, or present this site’s content as your own, except with written permission or where the law allows it.

Who owns what is written here

Unless otherwise indicated, the writing, arrangement, graphics, imagery, audio and original materials on this site belong to Peacefully Stronger, to the extent protected by applicable law. That includes the Conversations, The Peacefully Stronger Beginning, and the journal prompts and reflection questions.

Ideas, methods and approaches are protected only as far as the law allows, and are not the same thing as the particular way they are expressed and arranged here — that expression is what is protected.

Anything you write in your own journal belongs to you, not to us. Owning the site does not mean owning your words.

Nothing here limits rights available under applicable law, including fair use. Whether a use qualifies as fair use depends on the circumstances. Attribution alone does not necessarily authorize copying. For permission beyond what the law allows, write to hello@peacefullystronger.com.

What a purchase gives you

Buying a guided experience — The Peacefully Stronger Beginning, Body Signals, or When Your Body Has Been Carrying Too Much, singly or together — gives you a limited, personal, noncommercial, non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to read and use the materials yourself. It does not transfer ownership of the writing, the images, or anything else behind it.

Please don't copy, reproduce, redistribute, republish, resell, or post the paid materials, share your login with anyone else, or use them to build a competing or commercial product — including training or coaching material of your own — without written permission. Asking is genuinely welcome; the answer is often yes.

Downloading or printing a copy for your own use is expected and fine.

Lifetime access, in plain terms

“Lifetime access” means access for as long as that guided experience continues to be offered here — not a subscription, no renewal, and no expiry date we intend to set. There is nothing to keep paying.

Being honest about the edges: if an experience were ever retired, or if something outside our control made it impossible to keep online, access could end. If that ever happened, we would give reasonable notice and a way to keep what you had written.

Payment and refunds

Payment is taken once, by Stripe, our payment processor. The price shown at checkout is the price charged; there is no subscription and no card kept on file by us. Where more than one experience is taken together, the price shown for that set is the whole of it — nothing is added afterwards.

Because a guided experience opens to you the moment you join, purchases are generally not refundable. That isn't meant to sound closed; it's simply that the whole of it is already yours as soon as you're in.

Even so, circumstances are not all the same. If something isn't right, please write to hello@peacefullystronger.com and a person will read it. A refund may be given where the situation warrants it, at our discretion, and nothing here takes away any right the law where you live already gives you.

If a purchase is refunded or reversed through the card issuer, access to the experiences that purchase opened closes — and only those. Anything bought separately, or given to you by hand, is unaffected. Anything you wrote in your journal stays yours and stays available to you.

Downloadable resources

Some things here are files you download and keep rather than pages you read on the site — printable guides, checklists and workbooks. They are digital only; nothing is posted to you, and no physical product is shipped.

A downloaded file is licensed to the person who bought it, for personal use. It may be printed for your own use, but not copied, forwarded, shared, resold, redistributed, uploaded elsewhere, or used to make something else from it.

What a downloadable purchase includes: the files themselves, for your personal use. Once downloaded, they are yours to keep. You may also return to your Peacefully Stronger account to download them again while that resource and the account system remain available — there is no download limit and no expiry set on your access. Please save a copy somewhere safe. Future updates, redesigned editions, or replacement products are not automatically included unless specifically stated. This is separate from the lifetime access described above for the guided experiences.

Because the files can be downloaded straight away, these purchases are generally not refundable, on the same terms as above — and if something isn't right, please write to hello@peacefullystronger.com. Each download link is made fresh for you and lasts only a few minutes.

These resources are for general education and reflection. They are not medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment, and they are not a substitute for care from a qualified health professional.

Digital products

Downloadable resources — the starter kits — are digital products. Access is immediate: the moment a payment goes through, the files are available to download from your account.

Because they are delivered immediately, all digital-product sales are final and nonrefundable, except where the law where you live requires otherwise.

That is not the whole story, though. If you are charged twice, we will correct it. If a download won't open, won't finish, or the wrong file arrives, we will fix it or get the files to you another way. Write to hello@peacefullystronger.com or use the Reach Out page, and a person will read it. A refund may still be given at our discretion where the situation warrants it.

This section applies to downloadable resources only. The guided experiences keep their own payment and refund terms described above.

Your account and your access

An account is for one person. Please keep your sign-in details to yourself and don't share, sell, or lend access to a paid experience.

Access may be closed if it is shared or used in a way these terms don't allow, or after a refund or chargeback as described above. We would always rather write to you first.

Where this applies

Peacefully Stronger is based in Minnesota, United States, and these terms are read under Minnesota law.

These terms may be updated as the site grows; the version on this page is the one that applies. Questions are welcome at hello@peacefullystronger.com.

Thank you for reading this far

Thank you for reading the fine print.

It matters to me that nothing here is hidden. When you’d like, the library is where most people prefer to spend their time.
