This was great! I especially love your clinic handout and the way you clearly color coded your graphics. Thanks for providing evidence based recommendations, studies and additional resources for more info!
So well organized and time efficient! The handouts are gorgeous!
This was an awesome course. I left feeling very inspired and capable for my facial eval this week. I created a new facial eval template with the information provided and feel that I have tangible resources moving forward. I really appreciated the amount of information covered as well.
