A Note from Donna 💛

This class can feel a little daunting when you first look at it and that’s completely normal. There are a few new techniques and tools involved, but I’ll walk you through everything step by step.

My goal is for you to feel comfortable, supported, and confident as you work through the process. There’s no pressure, no rushing, and no “wrong” questions here. We’ll take our time, learn together, and enjoy the day.

By the end of class, you’ll not only have made great progress on your sneakers, but you’ll also feel proud of what you’ve learned and excited to keep going.
