Terms and Conditions

Nurturing Birth Ltd understands that unforeseen circumstances may arise, leading clients to cancel their course bookings. We aim to approach each case with flexibility and understanding. However, course cancellations can have a significant financial impact, including costs related to venue bookings, administration and banking fees, facilitators, travel, and the experience of other course participants.

In some cases, cancellations may affect the viability of running the course if the minimum participant numbers are not met.

We strive to resolve such situations fairly and transparently, and any decisions regarding refunds, transfers, or other arrangements will be made at the discretion of the Nurturing Birth Directors.

To cancel your booking, you must notify Nurturing Birth in writing via email or letter and request acknowledgment of receipt. Please contact:
