- You want someone to teach you how : You can't pick up a power tool and figure it out by yourself (or just don't want to). You want clear, time-saving, step-by-step instructions that leave no room for questions.
What Students Are Saying......
“Heather was such a huge help for this first time DIY'er. She had so much knowledge to share, was patient and gave me great advice from what materials to use, gave me cost comparisons and was very upfront with what I could expect. From design, sanding, painting and decorative hardware.. she was there to guide me through the process." | Leslie H.
“Heather helped me with a cabinet door project that I was completely intimidated by. She broke it down into manageable steps - from explaining the various ways to build cabinet doors, to calculating the measurements and planning out the materials to purchase. All in a way that met me right where I was with my level of knowledge and having some experience. She made the entire project feel collaborative and fun! I look forward to another opportunity to learn from Heather and would encourage anyone who wants to step into the DIY world or deepen their skills with DIY projects, to work with Heather" | Sarah R..

“Highly recommend as someone who didn't know how to use a hammer and is now three DIY projects in. Heather's expertise and guidance was invaluable as I started my DIY journey. Learning to DIY has been so enjoyable, and my husband is still in shock, lol." | Olive B.

I get being scared and overwhelmed because I’ve been there too.
I remember those days of endless video-scrolling, feeling scared to use power tools and confused by project tutorials.
The struggle was frustrating and sometimes it made me feel incompetent. Thankfully I had someone to lean into for guidance and motivation (dad to the rescue).
I once called him in fear of using the router, unsure of what to do. I spent several weeks starring at it before finally using it—and ended up breaking it the first time I used it (ps. don't cut too much wood at once). I learned some tough lessons over the last several years.
I think my friends were getting tired of me showing them all my projects (haha), because they suggested I share them on Instagram. That lead me here and to questions pouring in from friends and family - always texting me for my opinion or to ask me for help with projects. I absolutely loved it and knew this was my dream job - teaching and encouraging women they CAN!
Then came the turning point when I decided to focus on empowering women to kickstart their DIY journey. I realized what was missing from my own experience and women learning how to use power tools by themselves.
The sound and fear of using power tools AS A WOMAN, navigating through the sea of information online, the lack of clarity and support going through the projects yourself - it's challenging and can be overwhelming.
I wanted to create a different approach to learning how to DIY with live support just for women. It's structured. It's simple. It's motivating!
We streamline the process (with a focus on safety) but make it fun along the way. The best way to kick start your DIY journey with clarity, confidence and a friend by your side.
So, now is your time to decide? Let me guide you through learning these life changing skills. Starting exactly where you are —little or no DIY experience, but the courage to say yes - let's DIY together!
Here's what Kristy had to say:
"I've been wanting to dip my toes into the DIY wood working world for a while now. Heather helped me take the dive and guided me along the way. She taught me all the things I needed to start doing projects I've wanted to do for years. I would still be looking at my saw in the box without her!" | Kristy M.
You can spend the next several months trying to figure this out on your own go through the trials yourself (the hard way) - wasting more time than needed, making more mistakes than necessary… with no support along the way
OR... you can join us in DIY Kick-Starter & get the guidance and support that makes it easier.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Q: Who is DIY Kick-Starter for? Should I join?
DIY Kick Starter is for women who want to skip the learning curve process of DIY, learn how to use power tools safely - step by step to confidently create beautiful spaces in their home, and have a blast learning in an encouraging community of women doing the exact same thing!
If you have any questions about this course, please email me support @ diykickstarter.com.
Q: What if I don't have any tools?
You can complete most projects with just a few key power tools depending on your end goals. Set up a FREE consultation if you have any questions here. To start on your first accent wall that we DIY together, you’ll need a miter saw preferably (or circular), a brad nailer, and an orbital sander.
Having tools to practice and follow along with me is the best way to go through this course. If you’re not ready to buy tools yet, you can still follow along until you’re able to. You don’t need all the tools upfront, and you'll have access to video replays for support.
Q: What tools should I buy?
You are welcome to a free tool consultation. We will work together to go over your budget and DIY project end goals. .
Tools taught in this course are the basic hand tools and the following main power tools: power drill & impact drill, brad nailer, miter saw, circular saw, sander but not limited to due to class as a collective.
Remember the course is 3 months so if you don't get to every tool purchase within that time, you will still have the knowledge you learned and you have at least 2 years access to recordings or as long as the course is open.
Q: Will I get instant access?
Yes, you will have immediate access to some course material as it is a combination of digital and weekly live online workshops. This launch starts the week of Oct 21, 2024.
Join us any day until October 21 for the 2 live bonus classes!!
After that we will meet once a week throughout until the completion of the 3-month course. I'll be scheduling meetings in a combination of times to accommodate everyone as best as possible. (alternating weekly day, evening and weekend lives). Replays available as well.
Q: I'm busy. Do I have time for this?
Yes, because you're going to make this life changing journey a priority for YOU!!! I recommend you follow along in the live trainings and interactive support which is part of my white glove service to you and to make the best of the workshops. Missing a couple is ok as the replays will go up after each live.
Yes, you can go at your own pace if you choose to. I'll be cheering you on, answering any questions you have via chat and email, even if you aren't part of the live workshops.
Q: What is the 'first project together' that's supported?
Most students want to complete an accent wall, so I have chosen that as the first project to complete together. We will all work on our accent walls together from designing, tools to use, material to buy, how to attach the wood to your wall and finish it off until it's complete. I'll be there for full support as you DIY.
Q: What is your refund policy?
Yes, we can work something out according to refund policy. I’m confident you’ll love the DIY Kick-Starter Course which is designed for newbies and women to get full online support as a beginner diy to kick start your journey vs. spending all your time researching and watching videos.
Due to the digital and downloadable nature of part of this course, we offer a 50% refund within 21 days of purchasing. Please reach out and I'll work with you to make it fair for both of us.
