What really draws me in is your teaching style

Hello from one of your newest super fans! After seeing your posts for a few years, I started taking a few online classes, just got your GORGEOUS and ERUDITE book and already have post-its and highlights all over it. The combination of scholarship and practicality makes it an inspiring study tool.
I’m all in! Just entering my 25th year of practice, I work in a FQHC community health clinic part-time and have specialized in autoimmune diseases in my private practice treating all kinds of difficult cases. I’m sure it’s a familiar story to you that at 58 as my face started to collapse, I suddenly got interested in alternatives to medi-spas.
But what really draws me in is your teaching style, sense of humor and the way you share your expertise so clearly. I appreciate reviewing (and learning) facial anatomy and nerves and I also very much resonate with the core teachings of how we relate with patients. I’m soaking up your videos and book like I’m binge watching a favorite show! And of course I can’t wait to buy the microneedling pen and derma rollers.

I’m thrilled to bring these facial services into our clinic

Hello Michelle! I was in your Sarasota class last weekend and wanted to send a huge thank you. I so enjoyed your class, the materials, and the content. I’m thrilled to bring these facial services into our clinic in Largo. I’ve also been using your facial cups for a few months now and really enjoy using them. Thank you for the fantastic class!!

Well worth every penny

I loved being in Michelle Gellis’s class. Well worth every penny! The content was precise and the delivery of advanced facial rejuvenation was superb in every way. Michelle makes her class fun while handing the practitioner everything to begin using learned techniques right away. The hands on and practice portion was planned out perfectly. I loved it so much. Can’t wait to take some of her online classes!

Easy to follow

I wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed the Facial Rejuvenation class. I’m so excited to begin working with patients and helping them look and feel younger with Acupuncture. Everything was well-researched and easy to follow.

The results were exciting

Michelle’s facial rejuvenation acupuncture class was a pleasure to take… We had the opportunity to practice what we had learned on one another, and the results were exciting! After just one practice treatment, facial lines were reduced and the skin had a very healthy, vibrant glow. Thanks for a good experience Michelle!

Val Sjoberg, LAc MAc

The training gave me the confidence to needle the face

My training with you has tremendously helped with me facial stroke patients! The training gave me the confidence to needle the face and also, to use facial cups and the jade roller. I recently had my Bell’s Palsy patient buy the facial cups so that she can use them at home, in-between treatments. She is so happy to be able to do some self-help.
