She's also offering regular live sessions on her Facebook page.

Whitney has worked with kids — from preschool to middle school — across the Triangle through a variety of special classes and events. Those programs, of course, are usually in person, but, during the covid-19 crisis, she's also moved those online through Zoom. More information about how to sign up for those is available via her Facebook page.
