“I just found there wasn’t enough knowledge out there, proper knowledge, proper education, and the things that I was finding just weren’t effective. Then I found you guys online and I was really excited about it. So I went all in. I was really thrilled with how in-depth you guys went, how thorough, and then it made me realize how much I really didn’t know.”

“I was really thrilled with how in-depth you guys went, how thorough, and then it made me realize how much I really didn't know.

I just found there wasn’t enough knowledge out there, proper knowledge, proper education, and the things that I was finding just weren’t effective. Then I found you guys online and I was really excited about it. So I went all in. 

I was really thrilled with how in depth you guys went, how thorough, and then it made me realize how much I really didn’t know. And I think that it’s so important to get the proper education so that you can properly formulate so that you aren’t hurting people even though you’re using natural ingredients.

What I would say, without a doubt, is jump in and take a course. And I don’t mean just any course. Honestly, your school was the best investment I’ve ever made and I’ve taken every course you guys offer – skincare, haircare, makeup! I even did all the little side courses because I found it so beneficial. 

What I realized is that you honestly don’t know what you don’t know, until you sign up and do this, because there’s so much education in this. With the knowledge that I have walked away with, I absolutely do not regret it. And the thing is, it’s you investing in yourself, and that’s what people need to realize. 

People shouldn’t think ‘Oh, it’s another school course or it costs this’. It doesn’t come down to cost. It comes down to what you’re getting out of it for yourself. And if you’re even serious or considering starting your own business, you have to, there’s just no question. It’s an investment.

Also, I think that I’ve really grown as a person. I think that my whole lifestyle has actually changed significantly from this as well. I think about myself as a person, because I have gone on this journey of natural products and moving into more of a holistic lifestyle, like doing yoga and meditation. And I’ve just found it’s really come all together. 

I love seeing that because I find that there is such a better balance in my house, even with my kids and incorporating this. And it’s funny because you think, well, how do products do that? But I think it’s because of all the research that you do with ingredients and then the lifestyle, and then you just start finding different people that incorporate this type of lifestyle that you bring to yourself as well. I actually, really love it. I love it.”
