My ServicesI bring advanced restorative art and embalming education to you. After listening to the needs of your group, I will tailor make individual presentations, multi-hour seminars or all day workshops; all presentations are university level, offer step-by-step instruction and are filled with photographs and media that document each case. Private training is also available for individual practitioners. Lecture only and hands-on options are available. I do not sell or promote any products at any time, and make my sole focus on sharing information openly with all in attendance. My goal is to provide your group the confidence that only education can bring; the confidence to attempt that which others say is impossible; the confidence to succeed. |
