What is your refund policy for online courses?Under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013, you have the right to cancel your online course booking within 14 calendar days of registration and before the course starts, entitling you to a full refund.

What happens if the course is postponed?We require a minimum of two students to run a course. On occasions, due to last-minute cancellations or insufficient numbers, we may have to rearrange your course date. In such cases, we will offer you a transfer to either an in-person or online class (if applicable) or a full refund. Once you accept a transfer to a new course date, your original booking becomes non-refundable. We cannot accept responsibility for changes to your childcare, work commitments, travel, accommodation arrangements, and associated fees when the course is postponed.

What if I have a medical condition or I am Pregnant? Can I still attend and participate in one of your courses?To ensure your safety and well-being during our training, please let us know ahead of time if you have any medical issues that would impede the learning process OR if you are PREGNANT. If there is even a slight chance this may be an issue, don't hesitate to contact us for more information! If you are pregnant in the 1st trimester, you can still participate in the training and you will be working but not receiving massage as this is contraindicated in the first trimester. If you are past the first trimester, a medical note from either midwife or GP will be required if you want to receive massage (please note that some massage modalities will not be suitable in pregnancy at all such as Deep Tissue, Hot Stones, etc therefore even with a medical note, you may not be suitable to be worked on). If in doubt, please send us an email prior to booking to confirm.
