Read MoreAbout
My initial training was in my hometown of Birmingham, England and I've continued to learn and practice numerous styles of massage techniques over the years some even taught by top industry experts themselves. As an eager student it was a natural transition for me to progress into role of an educator to share my skills and knowledge.
I moved to California in 2001 and taught nationally and internationally for various companies creating class curriculum, training modules as well as treatment protocols to support estheticians for their success.
Now my path has brought me to a place where I combine my passions of working with my hands, teaching and sharing various massage techniques to fellow estheticians helping refine their hands-on skills to enhance their client’s experience.
In person classes are taught in California and online classes anywhere in the world!
All classes are inspired, created and taught by me, Gaynor Farmer-Katics LE, CIBTAC dip.
F.A.Q
What can I gain from learning new techniques?
- By broadening your repertoire of skills equips you to have a positive effect on a variety of skin conditions more effectively.
- It encourages your hands to become more proficient leading to a more refined touch.
- Fuels your passion and feeds your soul's desire to help clients feel better.
- Deepens your mindfulness, stillness and awareness to benefit YOU as well as your client.
- Expands and adds variety to your service menu for increased client satisfaction. It is fact, satisfied clients do return to you.
How can I incorporate these techniques into my practice?
- Lash or brow artist - Revitalizing Eye Massage prior to your lash work helps to relax fluttery eyelids.
- Age Management - Your clients would benefit from all of my techniques, especially Facial Acupressure and Lymphatic Drainage Massage.
- Express facial services - Add Soothing and Smoothing Upper Body and Arm Massage during the masque stage of the treatment.
- Chemical peels - Stress Reducing Scalp Massage avoids manipulating facial areas while still offering relaxation and pleasure.
- Holistic approaches to skincare and traditional facials allow you to offer any and all of my techniques at various stages of your treatment.
- Lymphatic Drainage Massage or Facial Acupressure will add to the efficacy of your acne or rosacea services.
- Help reduce stress and encourage deep relaxation with Anti-Stress Face Massage.
I'm not currently licensed but enrolled in beauty school, can I still attend a class?
How can I get the most out of a class?
- Rest well the night before so you are more alert and receptive to absorb new information.
- Practice, practice, practice! As soon as you get home or the next day have someone lined up who you can practice on. Repetition is the key to learning.
- Even if you do not have someone you can practice on, repeating the sequence with your hands in mid air, you've heard of "air guitar" this is "air massage". It will still help the cognitive brain learn the routine.
How many students are in an "in person" class?
Why are the "in person" classes only one day in length?
My lesson plans are well organized and consolidated ensuring maximum learning takes place.
Facial Acupressure and Lymphatic Drainage Massage have a prerequisite of a webinar and assessment to complete prior to attending the practical class. This allows to solely focus on the techniques themselves.
Alternatively, if you prefer to learn over a longer period of time why not consider enrolling in an online course?
What should I wear or bring with me to an "in person" class?
You could bring a pencil (pens are provided) and all of the learning guides are issued in class. The only other thing is a smile and an open, willing attitude to learn something new.
