  • 5/5 from Rowany, attended Jul 2026: 5/5 what an awesome and engaging course!!! Heiman is very talented and knowledgeable, and she talks you through it all step by step! The results are scary (in the best way) and we had some nice laughs too!
  • 5/5 from Sarah McKay, attended Dec 2025: I brought this as a gift for my teenage son and he was very nervous before going as he has autism however after the class he has not stopped taking about how much fun he had! He sent me pics while I was at work (as a nurse) and the gave me a little heart attack over how real they looked for a second :). He
