How payment works
Held With Care
We hold pricing the way we hold everything else, with transparency and care.
Three ways to enter
Each pathway has its own investment level so you can choose what fits your capacity, not what someone else thinks you should pay. There is no charity tier and no premium tier. Three honest doors.

The early bird price is 20% off and available until 15 spots fill at each location. Early bird ends without warning when the seats fill, so commit when you feel the yes.
Payment plans
50% deposit secures your spot. The remaining balance can be split into 2, 3 or 6 monthly payments. No interest, no hidden fees.
Bring a friend
Both of you save. The referral bonus is applied as a discount on your training, or can be transferred to a future training, private session or product.
Deposits
A non-refundable deposit secures your space. If the remaining balance is not paid by the communicated due date, we reserve the right to cancel your enrollment without issuing a refund.
Honest about money
