Step into a course that goes far beyond technique—one that focuses on you as the professional behind the service. Adapted from Chapter 4 of the Milady Esthetics Fundamentals textbook and enriched with real classroom insight, The Healthy Professional is a legacy course designed to help beauty providers build a strong foundation of physical wellness, emotional balance, and professional discipline. This course blends textbook fundamentals with practical, real-world teaching moments captured directly from my Cortiva classroom days. You’ll experience authentic instruction—complete with natural interruptions, student questions, and even gentle, real-time redirection around topics like dress code and professionalism. These moments showcase the true rhythm of esthetics education and offer valuable lessons in maintaining standards and boundaries while teaching or practicing.
In this training, you’ll explore the essential components of staying healthy and thriving in the beauty industry, including:
- Body mechanics and ergonomics
- How to protect your body, reduce strain, and work smarter behind the table, treatment bed, or chair.
- Wellness habits for longevity Hydration, nutrition, sleep, posture awareness, and daily mini-routines that support a sustainable career.
- Professional discipline Showing up prepared, modeling standards, communicating expectations, and managing small classroom or treatment-room challenges with grace.
- Energy management + preventing burnout Recognizing early signs of fatigue, stress patterns, and how to stay grounded in a service-based profession.
Special Bonus: Guided Stretching Routine the ergonomics lesson shifts into a real-time stretch sequence I lead for my students. You’ll see exactly how to incorporate stretching into your workflow—and watch the candid, unscripted interaction that happens in a true classroom setting. This alone is a valuable tool every esthetician can implement daily.
Whether you’re a student, a new esthetician, or a seasoned pro, The Healthy Professional will give you tools, perspective, and daily habits that will change the way you work and feel in the treatment room.
