Hope all is well. My testimonial for the African Skincare course: 
 
"Thank you for a wonderful course last weekend. You dealt with the topics with passion and sensitivity and you obviously have so much knowledge. It was a fun and very interactive course.   
My sincere thanks for all that you do”.

Wow, now that was an impressive 2 days course in African Skin and Hair care.  
The knowledge that Sarah Jane shared with us was unexpected, genuinely caring, sincere and professional.  
Every product that we created was luxurious on the skin, a truly life changing experience.  
I have always had problems with commercial skin and hair care products, always feeling that they were not truly for my skin and hair type, however what we created was exactly what I was looking for.
I really appreciated learning from someone with correct knowledge regarding my ethnicity and skin care needs, a person who was also willing and able to share this information, such a rare and humbling occurrence. 

What was also great about the course was that we had well written instructions and it was possible to buy some of the products so that we could get started.
