Private Coaching

Private coaching and self taping are two separate services. If you would like to schedule a private coaching session with one of our trained instructors, and dive deep into character creation and imagination work prior to taping, please request a session here.

Alternatively, if you would prefer additional guidance, in the moment adjustments or general feedback throughout the length of your taping session, we offer an add-on option where you can receive support from select readers. You can select this add-on service when booking your tape for an additional $50. (Note: this is not as detailed as our teachers coaching you for specific role preparation).
