Welcome to what might arguably be one of my favorite parts of base camp 3. I have a passion for all things tech, and I'm a little bit of self-proclaimed software snob--this means that I have tried and tested countless programs to find what works. Use this to your personal and professional benefit.
Leave the heavy lifting to me, and follow along my step-by-step video tutorials to learn all you'll need to know for building functional, and cost-effective digital solutions to run the death doula business of your dreams.
