If you are looking for virtual classes, please be patient. They are in the pipeline and are set to begin appearing in January 2024. If you cannot wait until then, my ebooks contain valuable insights and, in some cases, even more than you would find in a video. They are filled with photos that illustrate both the logic and techniques involved.
If you want the support of a virtual or live experience, reach out to me for coaching. I will assist you with any specific questions or challenges on Zoom, WhatsApp, FaceTime, or other video chat services of your choice. We can arrange a fair exchange of my time for your support. If you have questions, contact me now.
I'm here to help you make the most of your learning experience!
