“Your Course is So Clear”
“I’ve always wanted to learn how to make soap, but I’ve been terrified of using the chemicals. Your course has taken away that fear as you guide me through the process. It’s not nearly as scary as I imagined. The videos are so clear, and it’s just like watching over your shoulder in one of your in-person workshops. I’m so thrilled with this course. Thank you!!”

Excited!
I’m very excited about this course! I, like you, Tanya, am an allotmenteer. I love your videos – thank you!
Thank you for a great recipe
I made my soap today. I also infused the oil with dried calendula! It turned out to be a beautiful color! So my soap has a great color and aroma, too! Thank you for a great recipe
Your teaching style is easy to understand
I really enjoyed this class. Your teaching style is very easy to understand for a beginner. Thank you so much!
My soap turned out great
I made two batches of this recipe the other night, and my soap turned out great. I don’t think I’ll go back to freezing my goat’s milk again. It’s so good not to be waiting half the night for temperatures.
