We do advertise for volunteer models, but we do not guarantee providing every student with volunteer models for each practice session. It is ultimately the students responsibility to ensure they are able to participate fully in the group practice sessions. It is the students' responsibility to coordinate directly with their practice models to ensure the volunteer is an appropriate choice, has no major contra-indications (ex. contagious illness, nervous conditions, mobility issues, ect) you have agreed together what day and time they will be volunteering, and have read and signed the Informed Consent form (if appropriate) which they must bring with them.

If a student attend the entire course but is unable to prove proficiency in all previous mentioned aspects, they will receive a written attestation that they can use to claim CEU hours. It is therefore important that you enroll in the class Level that is right for you. Often students who already have experience in facial massage chose nonetheless to enroll in Level 1 because they wish to learn Maureen's particular approach.

Our Instructors reserve the right to remove a student whose behavior is dangerous, unprofessional or is disrespectful to the models, other students, or Instructor with no refund provided.

Arrangements can be made, however, to attend a future class if urgent personal or medical circumstances prevent you from attending a course for which you are registered. A doctor's note or proof of personal emergency is required.
