Refund Policy

A full refund, minus a $25 processing fee, plus 3% on the total for credit card payments, will be provided upon request up until two weeks before any class begins. After that time, refunds will not be issued, though students may transfer their registration to another class. Once we are within 24 hours of a class beginning, no refunds or credit transfers will be permitted.

Winters Storms & Canceling Classes

We will not cancel or refund professional doula trainings due to winter storms. Please allow plenty of extra time for travel if the weather is bad. 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 traveling back and forth a fair distance, you would be welcome to bring some portable bedding for your comfort and stay at the Center overnight.
