LET’S TALK INVESTMENT

Real talk: most people don’t have $5k just laying around, ready to invest today. That’s a-okay!

We can help make payments easy and painless.

We offer financing through Affirm, Klarna, and Paypal Credit.

Our normal payment schedule looks like this:

Right away: $500 retainer to hold your spot after you are accepted

$2200 payment in August

$2200 final payment in January

Use Klarna or Paypal Credit to break those payments up further without incurring extra fees.

Or, use Affirm and see exactly what you’ll pay in interest before you commit.

We also offer in-house payment plans up to 18 months that let you pre-pay over time without interest. You must PIF before you can attend a session.

(BTW, If you DO happen to be someone that fortune smiles on, we DO offer a Pay-In-Full discount. Reach out and let’s talk about it.)
