Frequently Asked Questions:
When during pregnancy is the best time to attend the classes?
- You are welcome to join any time in your pregnancy. Some like to come during their second trimester after 20wks, others closer to their due date (some have joined with babies in tow!), but the majority tend to come early in the 3rd trimester, starting around 30wks or so. But again, the choice is all yours!
Do I have to sign up for all the classes?
- No! You can sign up for one, two, three or all four however they fit in your schedule.
Where do the in-person sessions take place?
6155 North Street in Halifax (CBI Health Centre located in the professional centre above Lawton's Drug Store, Suite 301).
What if we can't attend the in-person session?
- Unfortunate, but no problem! Our classes will be live-streamed so you can join us via Zoom.
What is your refund policy?
- You can cancel your classes any time without penalty up to 2 weeks in advance of your scheduled class. If cancelling within the 2 week period before your class, a 15% admin fee will be applied before your refund.
