Testimonial

“Michelle’s last course on using Motor Points to treat expressions lines was so engaging and I learnt so much in 5 hours. I thought I wouldn’t be able to apply it instantly with a zoom webinar but Michelle made it very clear how and why to use certain muscle motor points, where and when to apply them with video demos on tricky points. She simplified the expressions of the face diagnostically and I was able to immediately apply what I learnt in clinic the next day and get immediate effects- By far one of the best webinars I have ever done!”
