Our classes are designed as standalone classes although some classes are multi-day/part. You may not finish your project in class and feel that you need to come back for extra support to complete it, this can be done by booking an additional one on one coaching class or you may feel confident enough to finish it by yourself at home.
Our coaching is on an as requested basis which means you can book as many or as few coaching sessions as you wish. You may not finish your project in one coaching session but you can choose how and when you need extra support to finish your project.
