TERMS & CONDITIONS


Welcome. Please read these terms before joining. By checking the box at checkout, you agree to them.

1. Who this is for

The Sanctuary is for adults (18 or older). By joining, you confirm you are at least 18 and are choosing to participate of your own free will.

2. This is not medical or mental health care

The Sanctuary, and everything inside it, is educational, somatic, and peer-style support. It is not medical care, psychiatric care, therapy, counseling, addiction treatment, or crisis services. Jessica Zanotti is a somatic guide and coach, not a doctor, nurse, pharmacist, psychiatrist, or licensed therapist. Nothing shared here (videos, audio notes, live Q&As, written resources, or community conversations) is a diagnosis, treatment plan, or medical advice, and none of it creates a doctor-patient or therapist-client relationship.

3. Medication and withdrawal

This is the most important section. Please read it slowly.

  • Withdrawal from some medications can be medically dangerous, including seizures and other serious complications. This is especially true for benzodiazepines, and can be true for other classes of medication too.

  • Never start, stop, taper, or change the dose of any medication because of anything you see, hear, or read in The Sanctuary. All decisions about your medication belong between you and your prescriber or qualified healthcare provider.

  • Jessica Zanotti does not recommend, prescribe, or advise on tapering schedules, dosages, or medication changes, and will not be responsible for decisions you make about your medication.

  • Experiences shared by Jessica Zanotti or other members are personal stories, not guidance. What worked for one body may be unsafe for another.

  • Please keep your prescriber informed that you are participating in somatic practices such as movement and breathwork.

4. If you are in crisis

The Sanctuary is not monitored in real time and is not an emergency resource. Jessica Zanotti and the community cannot respond to emergencies.

If you are thinking about harming yourself, are in danger, or are experiencing a medical emergency (including seizures, severe confusion, or any symptom that frightens you), please stop and get help right away:

  • Call your local emergency number (911 in the US).

  • Call or text 988, the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline (US), or find your local crisis line if you are elsewhere.

  • Reach out to your prescriber, a trusted friend, or a family member.

Please do not wait for a response from The Sanctuary in a crisis.

5. Movement and breathwork

The practices in The Sanctuary include gentle movement and breathwork. They involve physical effort and can cause strong physical or emotional sensations. Please:

  • Check with your healthcare provider before participating, especially if you are pregnant, have a heart condition, seizure disorder, respiratory condition, injury, or any condition that could be affected by breathwork or movement.

  • Move at your own pace and stop whenever something doesn't feel right. You are always free to skip, modify, or leave a practice.

  • Participate in a safe space, never while driving or in water.

6. Your self-responsibility

You are responsible for your own choices, your own health, and your own wellbeing. By joining, you accept that you take part at your own risk, and that Jessica Zanotti and Renaissance Woman co. are not responsible for any physical, emotional, or psychological outcomes, including injury, worsening symptoms, or other harm, arising from your participation, to the fullest extent permitted by law.

7. No guaranteed results

Everyone's body and journey are different. No specific outcome is promised or guaranteed, including symptom relief, a shorter or easier withdrawal, or any change in your health.

8. Community guidelines and privacy

  • Be kind, and respect other members' stories and boundaries.

  • Do not give medical advice to other members, including recommendations about medications, doses, or tapers.

  • What members share in The Sanctuary stays in The Sanctuary. Do not share, screenshot, or repost other members' stories or personal information.

  • Jessica Zanotti may remove content or members who break these guidelines, without refund where permitted by law.

9. Membership, billing, and cancellation

  • Membership is a recurring subscription of $33 per month, billed through Squarespace until you cancel.

  • You can cancel anytime. Cancellation stops future charges, and you keep access through the end of your current billing period.

  • Refunds: There are no refunds for a billing period that’s already started, so members should cancel before their renewal date.

  • Pricing and content may change, with [30] days' notice for any price change.

10. Content and ownership

All content in The Sanctuary (videos, audio, written materials, and practices) belongs to Jessica Zanotti / Renaissance Woman and is for your personal use only. You may not copy, share, resell, or redistribute it without written permission.

11. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Jessica Zanotti, Renaissance Woman, and anyone who works with or contributes to The Sanctuary are not liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your participation or your use of the content. If you are found to be owed anything, the total is limited to the amount you paid for membership in the [3] months before the claim.

12. Changes to these terms

These terms may be updated from time to time. If changes are significant, you will be notified and may be asked to agree again. Continuing to use The Sanctuary after changes means you accept them.

13. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of California. Any dispute will be handled in Ojai, CA, unless the law requires otherwise.
