Doulas of Orange County Class Registration and Cancellation Policies
Thank you for interest in our classes for pregnancy through early parenthood. We are thrilled to offer a wide array of classes for expecting and new families in the OC. Before registering for a class or consultation with Doulas of Orange County, please review the following registration and cancellation policies. If you have any additional questions, please reach out to us at any time!
On Call Labor Support Cancellation
Many of our members are also Birth Doulas. This means they are regularly “on-call” to join their clients in active labor to provide in person birth support. If this occurs, we will attempt to have a substitute educator on the team fill in. If a sub is not available, you will be notified as soon as possible by the educator of this conflict and given the opportunity to choose another class date. The educator will reach out as soon as possible to reschedule for a date that is within 7 days of the original class. If a reschedule is not available at a time that works for you, a full refund can be issued.
Medical Issues and Emergencies
If you need to cancel your class or consultation due to a medical reasons, we will work with you to reschedule if possible or we will provide you a refund if you are physically not able to reschedule, minus a 25% processing fee, upon the receipt of a physician note/documentation. This is including if you go into labor before a class/consultation that you registered for. Please email hi@doulasofoc.com or text us at 949-791-7164 at your earliest convenience to update us on your medical / emergent situation so we can quickly meet your needs and inform your instructor. Please follow up with a scanned physician documentation when requesting to reschedule your class.

Cancellation Request: You may cancel your registration of a class or consultation up to 5 days before the scheduled date and up to 14 days before a Confident Birth class, minus a 25% processing fee.
