Common questions
About pricing.
- Yes. The first lesson is $55 regardless of which package you buy later. It's priced to make the first step easy — and it's fully refundable if it isn't a fit.
- The 5-Lesson Journey is valid for 6 months; the 10-Lesson Journey is valid for 12 months. That's enough flexibility for most schedules — and if something comes up, just let us know.
- Cancellations with more than 24 hours' notice are returned to your lesson balance. Late cancellations (under 24 hours) are not refunded — but Mie's time is reserved for you, so this is rarely an issue with students who plan ahead.
