How it works:
You click the button and reserve a time for a one-hour consultation via Zoom.
Janna will send you an online questionnaire so she has context about your background and teaching.

After the meeting, Janna will send you a recording of the meeting along with a summary of ideas and suggested resources.

what people are saying about their consultation with janna
“The first meeting I had with Janna was extraordinary. Like any teacher at the top of their game, she balanced hearing, skillfully listening, rather, to my concerns as a new teacher, having real compassion for the challenges faced at this stage, and finding just the right words and resources to help me move forward with confidence and purpose. I knew Janna was a full library of knowledge and experience, but most importantly, she knows how to transmit that information in ways that are actionable and empowering, especially if you’re feeling daunted by it all. I really can’t recommend enough.”
“Following my consultation with Janna, I found that I finally had a vision for where my students are going. Among many things, she helped me evaluate what has been useful for my students and what has not. I finally feel like I am running my own program now and that I’m finally behind the steering wheel of my studio. Thank you, Janna!”
