FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I do a pay as you go pricing, with zero contracts ever. Having a child myself I know some things just do not work out as I had planned, be it her temperament, my time, work, weather, or a variety of other issues. Pay as you go allows you to see what you think of me and my style and not be worried about being locked in to something. I do offer discounts when I am able to remain at one location for multiple lessons since I don't have the additional gas or time. * One lesson- $35 per lesson (lessons usually last 30 minutes or more) * More than one lesson back to back- $30 each * Group lessons- 3 or more at one time $25 each (these are not recommended and I can explain why, but I can do them.)
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Before our first lesson I like to have a conversation with either the student or parent to determine exactly where they are in the process and explain what they can expect. This enables us to enter with no surprises. After 20+ years and hundreds of students there are some things that I simply know are going to happen and have found that when everyone is on the same page.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I received my Water Safety Instruction (WSI) certification in high school when I got my life guarding license and CPR certification. My degree is in Sports Medicine with a minor in Exercise Physiology which taught me the body mechanics as well as assisting my clients with physical special needs. While these are helpful and absolutely necessary, I would have to say that my most comprehensive education and training has come from life and experience. Being 40 now with a nine year old daughter of my own, I have learned more than any course ever taught me. Having the opportunity to work with people of all ages, on the autism spectrum, and many others with physical or mental limitations has taught me as much as I have been blessed to teach them.
