REFUND POLICY: While we understand that life events come up (and babies have their own agendas!), we do not refund tickets within 48 hours of the event as we need adequate time to fill the seats. If you do end up missing the workshop, we are always happy to schedule a 15 minute meet and greet where we provide your resource package and briefly walk through what we cover within the class. We are also happy to put your registration money towards a private session with one of our facilitators.
CANCELLATION POLICY: If we do not have 4 registrants by the Sunday before the workshop we will cancel the class with a full refund. This is typically not an issue as the class usually sells out all 8 registration spots.
UNABLE TO ATTEND? We offer private classes as well. The private sessions cost $80+tax and are 1 hour in length. Please call 519-265-4005 or e-mail robinsnestfamilycare@gmail.com to book a private session.
Organizer Robin's Nest Family Care
Organizer of Comfort Measures in Labour
Robin’s Nest Family Care was established to fill the need in the Guelph area for a clinic where new mothers and their babies can come for support and education. A healing space where a crying child is understood, siblings are welcomed, and a multidisciplinary team of practitioners work together to achieve the best result quickly and efficiently for each and every unique family.
Robin Young, Osteopathic Manual Practitioner and the proud owner of Robin’s Nest Family Care, was inspired to create this space after having her first child in 2010. At the time she felt there were too many places to go for help and none of them were communicating with each other. Each new assessment was spent repeating the same information over and over again wasting precious time and money. As Robin shared her vision for an integrated multidisciplinary practice with other mothers, she knew she was on to something special and very much needed in her community. Soon other practitioners who shared her passion for maternal care and pediatrics signed on. In October of 2015 the doors of Robin’s Nest were opened and Robin’s dream became reality.
