"high
standards,
low maintenance"
we believe in principles-based learning which makes sessions an experience where guests get to learn about their specific needs and also the basic understandings of how everything works. this allows fresh homies to own the tools to take care of their body with the utmost respect with the least-amount of high quality resources. we also prefer to provide tested and approved resources so guests don't have to rely on marketplace manipulation.
