What is your refund policy for In-Person Workshops?

ABG Refund Policy

In-Person Workshops
Payment in full is required to secure your spot in any in-person workshop.

If you choose to cancel your enrollment or withdraw from the program for any reason before the workshop begins, a $150 administrative fee will be retained, and the remainder of your payment will be refunded.

Once the workshop has started or you have transitioned to the online portion of the training, no refunds will be issued.

In the unlikely event that we must cancel an in-person workshop (due to insufficient enrolment, emergency, etc.), you will have the option to:

1. Receive a full refund, or

2. Transfer your enrolment to our online-only program instead.

Digital Training Program
Due to the digital nature of our training program, all sales are final. Once purchased, access to the program is granted immediately, and no refunds are available for this product.

How much time do I have to complete the Program?

When you purchase the ABG Postpartum Doula Training program, you gain lifetime access to the training modules, and you can take as much time as you need to complete them. Many of our students complete the program in 2-3 months. Others prefer to take longer. 

How long is my Certification with ABG valid for?

Once complete, your certification is for life, and there are no additional fees or certification requirements.

I don't live in the US - will ABG work for me?

YES! ABG is proud to be a fully-online, international training program. We have students in multiple countries around the world. 

How much does ABG's Doula Training Program cost?

You can enroll in ABG Postpartum Doula Training and Certification program for a one-time fee of $725 USD, or a payment plan of 6 monthly installments of $135 USD each.

Every Autumn, we also offer a BIPOC scholarship for ABG Postpartum Doula Training students, which covers full access to the program. Be sure to sign up for our mailing list to learn more!

About ABG's DISCOUNT for already-trained perinatal pros...

ABG believes in the value of ongoing training and career development, so we offer a 10% discount on the ABG Postpartum Doula Training and Certification program for those who are already trained and/or certified as perinatal professionals!

This applies to Birth and Postpartum Doulas, Newborn Care Specialists, and more.

If you would like to take advantage of this discount, please contact me with info about your prior training and certification - and I will send you a unique coupon code to use at checkout. 

Are there any additional fees for keeping my certification active?

No, none. Your one-time payment covers access to all training materials, including our mentoring Facebook group. We will never require additional fees, no matter how long you take to complete your training.

How are you teaching on inclusion and diversity as a white woman?

The Diversity and Inclusion in Birthwork module is unique in that I reached out to perinatal pros in the BIPOC and LGBT communities and asked them to create a module for ABG students from their unique perspectives.

Special thanks go to Norma Jean Bell of @havendoulacare; Dominique A. Wyse of @interwovendoula; and Moss Froom of @mossthedoula for their contribution to ABG's training program.

You mentioned something about seeking out additional education - why?

Because I hope that you will remain motivated to become the best postpartum doula you can be, even after your initial training is complete!

Self-driven curiosity is part of our culture as ABG doulas – but additional training programs are not a requirement.

What happens after I buy?

Once your purchase is complete, make sure to check the email address you used to create your account, and find an email from Allison at ABG.

Your welcome email should arrive within minutes, or up to an hour after purchasing. Please make sure to also check your junk or spam folder - and if it's not there, please use our Contact form to reach out, and we'll get you sorted, asap! Thank you!

In-person, Online, or Hybrid Training?

The in-person ABG Postpartum Doula Training and Certification program is a hybrid program - meaning, there is an online component to complete at your own pace, after which you may request your Certification. Most "in-person" Doula Trainings are set up as hybrid programs, with some form of online or virtual aspect.

During our in-person time together, you receive an immersive and community-based teaching of the first four modules of our program, which readies you to begin taking clients and working as a postpartum doula!

- Working with the Family and Business Skills for Postpartum Pros
- Infant Safety / CPR
- Newborn Care
- Baby Feeding

You will also receive unlimited access to the online component of our training program, which covers 6 more modules, to include...

- Birth Physiology and Healing
- Working with Multiples
- Postpartum Mood Disorders
- Grieving and Loss
- Growing into a Family
- Diversity and Inclusion in Birthwork


Once you complete the program's online components, you may request your lifetime Certification!

Does in-person training cost more?

Nope! Our regular pricing is $725. We do not offer a payment plan for the in-person version. Your registration must be paid-in-full four weeks before the date of your Workshop. 

We need 5 students for a Workshop to make. We will send out invoices prior to the event to give as much time and flexibility as possible.  

If you are enrolled or certified in another NCS or doula program (either birth or postpartum), we do offer a 10% cross-training discount.

Can you do a Workshop in my area?
