Birth Day Presence Cancellation Policy

Birth Day Presence classes and workshops are non-refundable within 28 days of class. If you would like to cancel your space 29+ days in advance, you will receive an 85% refund (15% non-refundable cancellation fee). Birth Day Presence is not responsible for providing make-ups or issuing any credit for classes missed as a result of scheduling conflicts, vacations, illness, emergencies, or other circumstances beyond our control.

We highly recommend that you schedule any prenatal classes or workshops to end by the time you are 36 weeks pregnant.

Policy for Missed Class within a Series:
If you cannot make it to one of the scheduled classes, you may:

A. Sit in on the appropriate night of another series (depending on space availability in class and whether or not there is a concurrent class--you will need to contact us to confirm this option before signing up)

B. Hire a Birth Day Presence teacher for a make-up session at the rate of $90/hr. A two-hour class will be condensed into 1 hour.

C. Ask a class member to catch you up to speed

In the special circumstances of a mother-to-be being placed on bedrest or delivering before 36 weeks, we will work with you to apply the unused portion of your class fee to other classes and workshops at our studio.

Birth Day Presence reserves the right to alter class times due to low enrollment. Every effort will be made to work with students' schedules.
