This is an important cornerstone class for all the future Self care classes we will teach in Zoom. Katie will refer to this information again and again, so come join us!

“I feel so lucky that getting my Acutonics certification doesn’t mean having finished my training with Katie and Laurie! They are such a trove of practical wisdom, esoteric knowledge and downright fun. I never know what jewels will be revealed in a self-care class, but I do know there will be many and they will deepen my practice, help me on my own path, and strengthen the bonds forged within our beautiful Acutonics community.” Valerie C, Certified Acutonics Practitioner
