Shipping and Refunds
The Soma Sip Promise
We believe in this ritual. Deeply.
If you commit to the full 30-day Soma protocol using Vitalitea and Serenitea at full strength daily, incorporating our somatic practices (no screens 1 hour before bed, consistent timing, etc.) and feel absolutely no shift in your sleep-wake cycle or nervous system regulation, we'll refund 50% of your purchase.
Why 50%? Because we're covering the cost of the organic botanicals, hand-packing, and shipping but we want you to feel confident trying something that could genuinely change your midlife experience.
No hoops. No judgment. Just honest feedback.

The Soma Sip Promise (Full Terms)
We stand behind our product. If you genuinely commit to the protocol and don't experience results, we want to make it right.
Eligibility Requirements:
To qualify for our 50% satisfaction refund, you must:
Complete the full 30-day protocol (at minimum):
Daily use of Vitalitea within 30 minutes of waking
Daily use of Serenitea 60-90 minutes before bed
Full strength dosage (1-2 tsp per serving as directed)
Follow our somatic recommendations:
No screens 60 minutes before bed
Consistent wake/sleep timing (within 30-minute window)
Documented in your ritual tracker (provided in your kit)
Submit your claim within 45 days of purchase with:
Your completed ritual tracker (sent to you via email in your welcome sequence)
A brief description of what you experienced (or didn't)
Photos of your empty/near-empty tea pouches
What you'll receive:
50% refund of your purchase price, minus shipping costs.
What we're not covering:
The cost of organic botanicals, hand-packing, shipping, and processing. We're a small Australian business and these are real costs—but we still want you to feel safe trying.
Important: You do not need to return the product. We trust you. Keep your teas, gift them to a friend, or compost them.
Refund Timeline:
Once approved, refunds are processed within 5-7 business days. Please allow 5-10 business days for your bank to process the refund to your original payment method.
Change of Mind Returns
We do not accept returns for change of mind.
Here's why: Our Soma Duo teas are loose leaf botanicals in non-sealed packaging (to preserve freshness and reduce waste). Once opened, we cannot resell them for food safety and quality reasons.
But you're still protected:
Our Soma Sip Promise gives you a genuine 30-day trial with a 50% refund if the protocol doesn't work for you. This is a better outcome than a standard return policy—because we're asking you to actually try the ritual, not just return an unopened box.
Before you purchase:
We want you to feel confident. Check out our FAQ, read reviews from real customers, or email us at hello@somawellness.com.au if you have questions. We're here to help you decide if Soma is right for you.
