Jo Grace ,"Grace Up Close,"and my sister in Christ, thank you for posting this on your site, the work that you are doing is awesome. Thank you for sowing your love, time and talents with a new author. Sister Grace I never in a million years would have thought God would give me a "gift" to tell a story and put it in the form of a book.

My name is Sandra Lutz, the name of my business is: In To Skin Esthetics. Ms. Jo is the type of person that you want to learn from because she has so much to share, her passion for people, and hoping that the students take with them the tools necessary to be professional and successful! ~ 06’

I have never experienced an instructor like Ms. Grace before. In fact, I think we were all a little scared our first day with her. We knew that she had the highest expectations for us, and I don’t think anyone wanted to let her down. Well, it didn't take long to figure out that her method of teaching really focused on respect. She respects her students, and therefore, in return her students respect her. She is thoughtful, articulate, extremely knowledgeable, and funny. Some of my greatest fears within the industry were put to rest once I had Ms. Jo as an instructor. She took those fears, made me face them head on (with her completely supporting me), and conquer them. Ms. Jo made me feel empowered to be the best I can be. I have taken classes from instructors that had Ms. Jo as an instructor years ago, and they are still praising her.

Hi, my name is Susie Fattal and I am the owner of “Blessings Face & Body Boutique” in Oroville , CA , I loved having Ms. Jo as a trainer: very disciplined, very professional, very knowledgeable, and very caring and encouraging, too! She had all of her students’ respect, and was admired for not only her beauty on the outside, but more so, her beauty from within. It was a wonderful time of my life, and I will never forget the fun I had in Ms. Jo’s class. After the training, I felt very prepared for my state board test, and it has been my experience in further education classes that I have attended at various off-site campuses, that the training I received under Ms. Jo’s instruction was above and beyond! It was worth the extra money to learn the caliber of education offered as well as the special attention to details and quality needed to succeed in business! ~ 06'

Ms. Jo was the most influential educator that I’ve met in skin care academics. I’ve taken numerous post-graduate classes and Ms. Jo is the standard to whom I measure all other educators. She is extremely professional and very passionate about skin care. If you are looking for the very best in skin care education, you will find it with Ms. Jo.
