Booking Terms & Conditions

Thank you for choosing Breathe and Birth for your hypnobirthing course. Please read these terms and conditions carefully before booking a course with us. You agree to be bound by these terms and conditions by booking with us.

Our courses are taught by a regulated, practising student midwife and RCM-accredited Calm Births Hypnobirthing Practitioner, who provides general educational advice about pregnancy, childbirth, and new baby care. Please note that individual, specific advice about your current pregnancy and well-being cannot be given under any circumstances. Clients must direct their health or pregnancy queries to their Community Midwife, GP, Obstetrician, or other appropriate health professionals.

The Breathe and Birth courses (regulated by Calm Births) have been designed to be up-to-date and factually correct at the time of teaching and to represent the current accepted professional standards regarding general maternity advice.

Breathe and Birth cannot accept responsibility or liability for any loss, damage, or injury to any person or property arising from attendance at our classes. We advise you to take care of all personal property and possessions.

The Breathe and Birth (Calm Births) courses have been designed to supplement the information, advice, and general instruction offered by the local NHS Trust. All course material provided is for general information purposes only and should not be construed in any way as being individual medical advice or instruction.

Breathe and Birth reserve the right to decline any application to attend any of its classes.

If you or your partner feel unwell while attending the sessions, you should immediately seek the advice of your midwife, GP, or another appropriate health professional.

Payment

Stripe and Paypal operate all payments; please see their privacy policy for payment processing and General Data Protection Act. 

Once we have received your payment, we will send you a confirmation email. If you attend online, we invite you to the arranged Teams meeting. If you are attending in person, we will confirm the dates and times of classes, including the location and any materials you need to bring.

Cancellations and Refunds

You may cancel your hypnobirthing course booking at any time by letting us know of the cancellation by email or phone. We will acknowledge receipt of your cancellation by email or phone within two days of receipt.

If you cancel more than one month before the start of the course, you will receive a full refund. If you cancel less than one month before the start of the course, no refund will be given. However, under exceptional circumstances, we can offer a full refund up until the course begins.

We require a minimum number of participants to run the courses. If for any reason,  we do not reach these numbers, Breathe and Birth reserves the right to cancel the course. A full refund will be given in this situation.

Make-up Sessions

We understand that our clients may miss a session here or there. In these situations, we can facilitate a make-up session only if available on another course. You are welcome to check with us before the start of your course to see whether we can facilitate a make-up session for you. However, please note that our courses are usually fully booked, so it is unlikely that we will be able to do so.

If you miss a session, we suggest that you and your partner read up on any missed topics in The Calm Births information booklet we provide and approach your instructor with any questions.

Unforeseen Circumstances

If for any reason, Breathe and Birth needs to reschedule a session; we will give you as much notice as possible. If the course venue needs to be altered, any new venue will be located within 2 miles of the original. In these circumstances,  no refund will be offered unless expectations circumstances apply.
