FAQ

  • We can schedule a make up class for you via zoom. $100 each make up class.

  • Since this class is about being vulnerable, open and connecting, I have found it to be very hard to do that while teaching via zoom and in person simultaneously. Therefore I ask that you be in person for all classes.

  • There are no refunds/pro rated amounts for classes missed, in the case baby is born before the series ends as we cannot refill that spot. Thank you for understanding.
