How To Start

The first step in your journey is to meet with one of our facilitators. We want to hear about your goals, injuries, health conditions, triggers and anything else that will help us create a safe enough space for you. We will also explain the program in detail so there are no surprises at your first class. This is a 30 minute appointment conducted via Google Meet, or on the phone if you prefer.
