No. We have several payment plans to help you start on your exciting new career. Call us and we can work out a payment plan to fit your budget.

Do I have to stay every weekend?
No. Each Unit Class meets approximately one weekend a month. We have three units in our program, and each unit has 7 classes. If you follow the schedule and come one weekend a month, it will take approximately 18 months to complete the program. You may decide to finish in11 months by taking Unit III classes before or during Unit I and Unit II classes. Then you will be here approximately two weekends a month for 5 of the 11 months.

Did you say I can take Unit III classes before I start Unit I?
Yes. Unit III classes can be taken before your first Unit I class. Unit III is comprised of 7 "complete unto themselves" classes of specific techniques, such as Foot Reflexology, that have no prerequisites. The only exception is Cranio Sacral, which cannot be taken before you start Unit II.
