Estimates for a small start in Canada, not guarantees.

What it is

Live video sessions or a short course where students follow along from home, using a supply list you send in advance. Topics might include stress, sleep routines or making simple blends.

Your first three steps

  1. Plan a 4-session beginner course with a simple supply list students can buy locally
  2. Test a free or low-cost live class with friends and ask for honest feedback on sound, lighting and pacing
  3. Set up a booking and payment page and share it in local and wellness online groups
Who pays

Beginners wanting guidance without leaving home, people in smaller towns with no local classes, and workplaces booking virtual wellness sessions.

How it makes money

A price per live class, a fee for a multi-week course, or a monthly membership with a new session each month.
