A MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT
Welcome to an exciting journey in Spa Therapy, Medical Spa Therapy, Creative Hair Design and Nail Technology. My own education in Aesthetics included some of the finest instruction in European based techniques which I wanted to share with others. One of my earliest mentors was Ingeborg Rau, a founder of the Aesthetics Industry in Western Canada. She was educated in Germany, which greatly enhanced my own education, and was also complimentary to my Swedish heritage. Under the guidance of Ingeborg, I found passion and zeal for the Beauty Industry and knew that I wanted to share this passion with others. It was while working with her in Vancouver, that I was invited to mentor and instruct other women. This began my teaching career in 1980.
