Refund Policy

A full refund, minus a $25 processing fee, plus 2% on the total for credit card payments, will be provided upon request up until two weeks before a class begins. After that time, refunds will not be issued, though students may transfer their registration to another training.

We will not cancel or refund professional doula trainings due to winter storms. Please allow plenty of extra time for travel if bad weather is threatening. If you prefer to transfer your registration to another scheduled training that we offer, that is acceptable. If a blizzard should be happening in the middle of a weekend and you are driving back and forth a fair distance, you would be welcome to bring some portable bedding for your comfort and stay at the Center overnight.

If you purchase a Business Builder Package and change your mind after attending only a portion of the trainings, your refund will be the total amount paid minus the full cost of each training attended and the fees listed above.

Early Registration Deadlines (ERD)

An inducement is offered for early registration. To qualify for the discount, payment must be postmarked or paid IN FULL by midnight on the Early Registration Date (ERD) listed.

Payment Options

A minimum down payment of $100 is required to hold your spot in a training. If you prefer to pay with a check or cash, or to reserve your spot with a partial payment, see below. If you feel more comfortable using a credit card over the phone, please call Patty Brennan at 734-663-1523.
