Getting in and how it works
Click Pre-Register, you’ll be directed to a very short application form. It should take you no more than 5 to 10 minutes to complete.
Once completed, I personally review all applications in the order they are received and select the ones accepted.
If selected, you will receive an email from me with the payment process information for you to formally enroll.
NOTE: This application process is not so I can weed out people for any particular reason. It’s actually much more rudimentary. I have to manually disable the sales page once I reach the required number of students.
Remember, this is first-come, first-served. Please only proceed if you are able to complete the application and payment process. If not, I have to open that spot back up for the next person quickly and in time for the cohort to start.

- Classes will be one hour, twice a week. Group A – Mon and Wed, Group B – Tue and Thu. If you have a preference for which group you’d like to attend please let me know on the application form. I will do my best to accommodate but cannot guarantee it.
