If you want to service even more hours you can switch things up and service multiple clients. The best part is having time available to set for special events and family gatherings.

Most classes are around 30 days but some can be as little as 3 days. Once class is completed and you are certified you can start working immediately. The process can take 1 to 2 months to receive your first deposit with class time included in this total.
