What’s the difference between the original Build Your Self-Esteem and this version?
The original course has been retired although you can still access it in the most recent format if you are a previous student of it or you are already a member of Baggage Reclaim School and so able to book on to courses that are not necessarily available to the public. This edition is brand new, so while it takes inspiration from the old classes and use some of the teachings, it will be new teachings in video and audio format. The ‘modules’ are also different and they unfold in a different order, plus this edition also brings into it the development of my teachings since I launched the course almost 6 years ago. Modules have also been condensed to help you move through a subject quicker so that you can get on with the application in your day-to-day living.
Can I transfer from the original?
Yes, just do so via the courses website or private Facebook Group - you need to be logged in (if you're doing it via the courses website) so that you can get the special rate.
Why are prices quoted in British pounds?
Because I'm based in England. Any amounts quoted in Euros or US Dollars are approximate.
What’s the difference between Build Your Self-Esteem 2.0 and Break The Cycle (formerly The Breakthrough)?
Build Your Self-Esteem takes a holistic approach to improving the way that you feel about and treat you and Break The Cycle is about looking at what's in the space between your conscious desire for a relationship and actual outcomes, so that you can heal the past and move from unavailable relationships and experiences to more loving relationships.
Do I have to do the core program in 8 weeks?
No, you have one year to do the program, which you can extend for another year if desired. I appreciate that we’re all juggling existing commitments so there isn’t an expectation to take off lots of time to make the course happen but it is about creating space to do the work and listening to the needs of your body along the way.
Why 6 months (in total - 8-week core program + 4 weeks of masterclasses + 3 months Reclaimer Membership)?
I’ve been teaching Build Your Self-Esteem and other courses for 6 years and I’ve become attuned to what level of support is expected as well as the non-linear journey of learning to like and love you.
Yes, maybe every major stressor that’s going to come up for you will be in the next 8-12 weeks, but if life is anything like its usual self, you will encounter, not just bumps that are stressy because they’re attached to something painful, but also bumps that are actually related to joyful experiences that you might not know how to cope with.
Working with me for 6 months means that you have a process and support to lean on plus, it means that additional resources can be added where needed.
Do I need to show up at a particular time?
Unless you want to take part in Office Hours (Q&A sessions) or I’m running an additional live webinar (I make replays available anyway), there is no fixed time.
Can I pay monthly?
There’s the option to pay in full or pay in three installments. To pay in six, please email natalie AT baggagereclaim.co.uk with ‘application to pay in 6 installments’ and we (myself or my school manager) will be in touch within 24-48 hours. Unless you are an existing student with no defaults, it's not possible to pay over 12 months.
Do you offer scholarships?
I tend to offer a few scholarships on major courses as I recognise that some people really want to do the work but are not in a financial position to do so. To apply, email natalie AT baggagereclaim.co.uk with ‘scholarship application’ and I will be in touch.
I’m an existing student--do I get a discount?
Yes. If you have taken a course within the last year or are a Reclaimer Membership subscriber, you get the maximum student discount.
I’m based in the E.U. - Do I pay VAT?
VAT doesn't apply for this particular program.
What's your refund policy?
Cancel up to 7th day of the program for a no questions asked refund. After that, you will need to provide all completed coursework up to that point. If you have availed of the bonuses, the full price value of each bonus will be deducted from your refund amount.
Is there anybody this course isn't suited to?
If you want or need a lot of hand-holding, the DIY version of this course isn't appropriate and you would either be better suited to working with me one-t0-one through the coaching version of the course or, it might be better to work directly with a professional.
If you're not sure whether you want to do the course and are possibly already coming up with reasons to avoid the work or to ask for a refund, don't sign up. Please only sign up if you're serious about doing the work because someone else will miss out on that place. I love that I get to teach groups of people who even though they might find it challenging and confronting at times to delve into this topic, they're committed.
