The 5-Day Solution is for everyone who performers in front of others, whether you’re a professional, a student, or a more casual sufferer.

Each day/lesson is designed to be manageable, requiring about 45 minutes of your time. This includes watching the video lessons, completing the exercises, and reflecting on your progress.

The course is flexible, so you can fit it into your schedule at your own pace. We also space the days out so you have time to practice the mindfulness you’ll apply to your performances.
