Will these sessions be available year-round?
- Yes, but... Jean's time is limited. As a result, she limits the number of businesses that she works with at any one time to ensure that they each benefit fully from their relationship.
- When her schedule is full, this listing will show as "Sold Out", and you'll be invited to join her waiting list.
