Curriculum Details
Self-Paced Curriculum | Six Modules | One-Year Access
MODULE ONE
Introduction to Integrative Esthetics
Integrative Esthetics is a holistic approach to skin care, taking into account the whole person. It is the practice of utilizing various complementary modalities as well as the conventional clinical approach to esthetics.
- What Is an Integrative Esthetician?
- Practical Approaches to Integrative Esthetics
- The Client Consultation Process
MODULE TWO
The Clinical Approach
With the exception of a few holistic esthetics schools, most programs teach a clinical approach to skin care. This forms the foundation of how students view traditional esthetics. This module reinforces the clinical foundation before students move on to complementary approaches to esthetics.
- What Is the Clinical Approach?
- Start with Inclusivity
- Skin Analysis
- Customizing Protocols
- Hands on Facial Massage
- Intro to Oncology Skin Care for Estheticians
- Hierarchy of Treamtents
MODULE THREE
Select Principles of Ayurveda
The increased popularity of yoga has ignited an interest in its sister science, Ayurveda. Dating back 5,000 years, Ayurveda is thought to be one of the most ancient and complete forms of natural healing on the planet. In this module, students are introduced to the basic principles, so they can better converse with clients and other practitioners about Ayurveda.
- What Is Ayurveda?
- Ayurvedic Skin Physiology
- Ayurvedic Skin Care Remedies
- How to Identify Marma Points on the Face and Use them in a Kansa Wand Face Massage
MODULE FOUR
Key Principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine
The benefits of Traditional Chinese Medicine are well documented. It outlines the relationship between the five elements—wood, fire, earth, metal, and water—and the life force known as “qi.” Understanding this approach helps the esthetician identify their client’s innate nature and devise a treatment plan that addresses their skin concerns.
- What Is TCM?
- Face Mapping
- TCM Modalities for Estheticians
- TCM Dietary Patterns
MODULE FIVE

The connection between nutrition and skin health often goes unaddressed in undergraduate esthetics schools. This course introduces students to how they are intrinsically connected and how you can assist clients in their lifestyle choices to improve health and skin conditions.

- Nutritional Impact of Micronutrients on Skin
- Nutraceuticals and the Gut-Skin Axis
- Botanicals for Skin Health
