What People Are Saying:

It's the only course I've come across that really takes into account what's necessary for women-

Mary Stevens

I've never been more proud or emotional about a piece of paper [Endorsed Colleague Certificate earned from the course]...it carries the blood sweat and tears and hopes of a generation of students...

Laura U.

I have hope now. I am so tired of all the [traditional] approaches to WSD. How many times are they going to tell me how not to wear my hair? Finally something relevant and useful.

I learned things I didn't know I didn't know, and that's with 30 years of teaching.
