Transfer/Cancellation Policy

You may elect to transfer your registration to another workshop for a processing fee of $30 for student registrants and $60 for all other registrants. 

To be eligible for a refund, notice of cancellation must be received at least three business days prior to the start of the workshop, and the workshop manual must be returned in good condition. A cancellation fee of $30 will be charged to student registrants, and a $60 fee will be charged to all other registrants. 

Child Care Policy

Because this is an intensive two-day workshop, we ask that, out of respect for others, participants arrange for childcare (including infants) for education sessions for the How to Start a Birth Center Workshop.

A Word from an Attendee

"The birth center tour was such a valuable experience especially since I have never been to a birth center nor spoken to a CNM who worked at one."
