- Who can I bring as my free guests?
~You can bring up to two people over the age of 14 with you to the Open Birth workshop with your payment. These people can be your partner, doula, aunt, uncle, sister, friend, grandma, child, etc. Ideally anyone you plan to have with you during your birth. If you are nursing a child/children you may bring them as well and they will NOT count toward your two free guests (for instance, you can bring your partner, your doula, and your nursing toddler for no extra charge). However, I do ask that you be mindful that this is a Sacred Space for learning. If you must bring your child I ask that they remain in your arms or have an alternate caregiver for times you are not nursing. Keep in mind that classes are THREE hours, so if you have a wiggly little one I recommend bringing alternate care! If you need to pump, please feel free to bring your equipment and pump away! The exception to the rule would be your pregnant friend or family member - each pregnant person must pay for the workshop. If you and your partner are both pregnant, let me know and we can work out some special pricing. - Do I have to bring someone?
~Of course not! You do you. - Another person (such as a surrogate or birth parent) is carrying my baby for me. Can I still come?
~Absolutely! And bring your gestational carrier as well if you choose to! Don't worry, they won't count as one of your free guests! - What if I can't afford this workshop?
~E-mail me! We'll work something out, my dear. - What if I'm not expecting a baby, but I really, really want one?
~Come! Also, you may want to consider booking a Womb Healing session with me! - How can I book you for other services?
~Visit my website! Follow me on Facebook! Contact me! Let's talk about it! - Where are the workshops? How will I know if the location changes or when the next class will be?
~Join the e-mail list, and follow the Facebook page! - I'm not a very spiritual or religious person...
~No worries, there's room for you too! You have a mind, a body, and a spirit - you're qualified to attend this workshop! - What are chakras?
~Chakras are energy centers on the body. There are seven main Chakras talked about in the Open Birth workshop, but there's a lot more than that, too! I'll talk about them at the workshop, don't worry! - I'm not expecting a baby, but I work with pregnant people (doula, midwife, prenatal yoga teacher, etc.), can I come? Do I have to pay?
~Come, come! No need to pay, but you DO need to register. Also, it might be nice if you help me set up and take down? :) Thanks! - How do I sign up?
~At the bottom of this page! I'll e-mail you will further info! Can't wait to meet you! - What is your refund policy?
~The initial deposit of $100 is NON-REFUNDABLE for ANY reason. The rest is refundable if an emergency occurs and you are no longer able to attend (e-mail me, we'll figure something out), or if you give birth before you have a chance to finish the workshop (again, e-mail me, we'll figure something out - also, congrats!). NO refunds will be given after you have completed the workshop. If you were dissatisfied with the content of the workshop or felt like it didn't benefit you, I deeply apologize and am happy to talk about it with you.
