Book a session

The fastest route into the work is to book directly

With Diona, in Melbourne

Private consultation, 90 minutes, AU$400. If the PACE Program follows, it is AU$1,600 for the four weeks, AU$2,000 all up, with the consultation counting as the first part. Sessions run in Newport, Docklands, and the Williamstown corridor. Home visits within the Melbourne metro are available with a call-out fee.

Book with Diona

With Diona, virtually

Anywhere in the world. The same 90-minute consultation, billed at the in-person rate, delivered over Zoom with WhatsApp follow-up for the video loop.

Book a virtual consultation

With another Hachi Way trainer

Programs delivered by a Hachi Way trainer are designed and supervised by Diona: a AU$400 consultation with her, then AU$1,000 to AU$1,400 for the four weeks. The directory is currently Melbourne-only. We are adding trainers through 2026 and beyond.
