Meet Your Instructor

Hi, I'm Gaynor, a California licensed esthetician and global massage educator with over 20 years of teaching experience. I trained in the UK with CIBTAC and City & Guilds, and I’m a contributing author in Milady’s Advanced Esthetics textbook. My courses are designed to give estheticians simple, effective massage techniques that elevate every facial and help clients feel deeply relaxed.

Together, let’s bring more peace and less stress into the world one client at a time.

The format was easy to follow and provided great review of information as well as great quality of video to follow along with the massage technique. The use of multiple angles helped to learn the techniques and the optional placement of body and hands give great ideas to modify to each client. Will definitely look at other courses you offer !
