  ​

I hope this straightforward list of what's available from me over the next 8+ months is helpful for you.

Something I know is that it's scary to start and/or continue, when your bodypsyche knows transformation will be a longed for but also feared consequence of signing up.

If this is you, I also know I've regretted not starting when I've felt the pull.

So let's get started!

xoxo,

Janelle
