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. And now, with online access to all the class content for 3 months after your last class - you can review the information close to the due date.
What's the difference between the Tuesday and Saturday classes?
- Just the length! Tuesday only has one class and Saturday has two.
Do I have to sign up for all the classes?
- No. You can sign up for one, two, three or all four and however they fit in your schedule. They don't even need to be in any particular order ;)
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, just to the right off the elevators).
What if we can't attend the in-person session last-minute but still want the info?
- Unfortunate, but no problem! You can join us virtually instead and you'll still have access to the online content for 3 months. Alternatively, you can reschedule for another class if we have room.
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.
