I think I’m ready to work with you? How do I get started? What’s the process like?

  1. Complete the registration application. The registration fee is $49 and must be received and cleared before your application is processed.
  2. Within two (2) business days, you will receive a call or email from me for booking a diagnostic session.
  3. Decide if meeting online or in-person is better for you.
  4. If you’d like to meet in person, we’ll meet at one of three (3) Downtown Oakland locations or an Alameda location.
  5. After we meet for our diagnostic session, I’ll take inventory of your test and interview responses, then I’ll use that information to begin creating your personalized regimen.
  6. Depending on your specific situation, you may be able to begin learning within one day, but it may take up to seven (7) days to sit for our first learning session.
