First, please schedule a Discovery Call whenever you get a chance so we can talk about your specific situation.

If we decide to move ahead, we will book a Discovery Meet (for Best Members) to ensure we are well-matched to work together. We would skip this step if you’d like to be a Good Member. 

Finally, you will register for Level 1 Calmness. That’s where the real fun begins!

Levels – The levels are your courses. You’ll begin your journey with Level 1- Calmness. There are 15 levels. 

Each level is four weeks.

It will take 18 months to 2 years to complete all levels, depending on whether you take small breaks between them.

There will be eight weeks off annually to refuel (dates TBD). The program will be paused during those holiday breaks.

No. Often, most will only need to finish the first six levels to meet their goals.

Working dogs (therapy and service) are strongly urged to complete all fifteen levels to complete the program.

How Do I Book The Consultation?

If you are Best Member, you’ll schedule your first consultation with me when you register for the program.

I try my best to book all follow-up consultations and Progress Calls on the same day and time every week for the Best Membership.

I come to you for the in-person consultations. They occur in your home and community. Or we meet virtually 1:1 if you are out of my catchment area. 

You will receive email confirmations for all appointments.

When you register, you will pay by credit card, which is securely handled by Stripe.

A 50% refund will be applied if you request your cancellation within two weeks of registration.

There will be no refund if you request your cancellation between the second and fourth week of registration.

Once a refund has been applied, you will be removed from the program, including access to the online portal, weekly group coaching calls, and community support features.

All scheduled in-person consultations, a trainer in your pocket, and private progress calls will be canceled.

Before you pay, you will need to read, understand and agree to the Cancellation Policy as stated in the Terms and Conditions.
